"Bye Bye Binky"

Tonight we're starting the Binky weaning... I read about a method called Bye Bye Binky that looks great.
Night one you poke some pin holes in the Binky so it loses suction.
Night two you cut a small slice in it; even more suction is lost so she loses interest.
Night three she gives it up completely on her own, probably annoyed at her Binky. Haha.
Of course every baby is different, some might think its broken and want to try another, but you just have to make sure all binkies are slit. Some might take a night or two longer. We'll see how Ry does.
If it doesn't work we'll try cold turkey.

Re: "Bye Bye Binky"
We're going through this now - it stemmed from being so many places for Christmas, and bad naps, and mom being tired of hearing him whine for it! Hoping daycare can get him back off of it.
Similarly, I wish there was a way to do this with my boob!! Hope it goes well JK!

Good luck!!
If we did that, O would just steal her brothers.. Haha!

This is where I'm at too! The only trick I've found is to hold her left hand [the thumb she sucks] when we are out and about during the day to keep her from sucking it.
Good luck, Ry!
This is us too. He loves his pacifier and uses it to rub his gums. We are waiting on one more molar and 6 other teeth in the front. I am hoping maybe by 18 months they will all be in and we can say so long to the pacifier.
Sleep training went a lot better than I expected so maybe this will go ok too?
Thanks for the support ladies... Full report in the next day or two...
Oh little Rylee I hope this goes well for you! Be nice to your momma and just happily decide the paci is no longer for you.
I will be stalking this board like no other for an update on this! I'll probably wait until summer break to try it with Bridget just so I can handle the sleepless nights better, but man would it be nice to have a plan of action!
Good luck!
Totally not a stupid question... But to put an image in your head of ME looking stupid, I tried to chew a piece off and couldn't. That's how I deemed it safe. Haha. The holes I made tonight were from a sanitized safety pin. And I made about 15 holes because I gave it a suck and barely noticed the loss of suction. DH gave it to her on the changing table during PJ time and she kept taking it in and out of her mouth which is uncommon. So far she has it in her mouth in the crib and seems happy but I'm thinking she notices a difference. :]
Crossing my fingers this goes well and others can give it a shot.
