Update....

in April 2011 Moms

so we tried today - first nap without soother...

he cried for an hour and a half before i gave in!!! i feel dumb for giving in but he was SO tired and so upset. the second i gave it to him he melted and fell asleep.

any research i've done says to get rid of it before they're 1 or anyone else has said they waited unitl 2 or 2.5 so they could reason with them and tell them it's time or send them to the fairy or whatever...

we might wait until after baby comes.

now....do i start getting rid of the bottle!? oh geeze.....

    I would do a slow transition off the bottle. Offer a few drinks in sippy cups or my DD has been on a big girl cup since 15 so it's definitely do-able. We offer sippy's only in the car (and that's rare). It helps that I have an older DD so younger one wants to be like big sis.

    Paci-we tried cutting the nipple of the paci (hiding all others saying they are missing) a little bit every few days until she didn't want it anymore. We weaned DD1 right before the age of 2 when DD2 was going to join us. At this age, we could also explain the differences btwn babies and big girls so that was a big help. Also, DD2 didn't really take to the paci and that was a huge plus.

    I have also read other parents stuff the paci in build a bear w/ their LO. You may be more successful as he gets gets older.

    One more-we brought DD1 to a pedi dentist and she reinforced no more paci's or sippys and DD listened to the dentist said so.

    You might get lucky and he might ween himself off the soother.  Chase just kind of stopped wanting his.  Every once in a while he'll find one and pop it into his mouth, but he drops it within a couple of minutes, and he doesn't need it to sleep anymore.

    On my phone, so short n sweet. Cut the end off the paci, just a bit. It ruins it for them. Saw it on the boards about a year ago from a dentist. Worked like a charm on my niece. Hth!

    I am going to try this over Christmas so that if I lose some sleep, i can lounge around at home instead of at work.
