we've had a binky relapse

We have been trying to minimize the pacifier, and hadn't been giving it to M at bedtime for a while now. But this weekend when she was sick/sleep-deprived, we gave in at bedtime because she was so unhappy. And now the monster is back! I think the binky is causing the wakeups again--last night I got up 3x to re-binky her. So H and I agreed that we need to go cold-turkey and not give it to her tonight. I foresee a lot of screaming but it will be worth it! For some reason I thought that she was old enough now to find it by herself when it falls out at night. Nope!!

    Can you start substituting some soft toy or something that isn't as harmful to her teeth?

    C was never a big binky guy, so I'm not too up on that stuff.  We have our own bottle issues! :)

    Doh! We had the same issue. When Rachel was sick we were giving her the paci because it was the only thing that soothed her. But we really curtailed it quickly like your going to do. It took her one night to get back to being able to self soothe and the fussing/crying lasted about 5 minutes.  It still breaks my heart to hear her cry...

    She is old enough but she has you trained to do it!  Why don't you just put 4 or 5 binkies in her crib?  Works for us!

    We would also put a few pacifiers in Jason's crib when he was that age.
