Any ideas on how to get rid of it? I've heard of cold turkey, snipping the bulb off, paci fairy... What worked for you? The dentist and speech therapist both told us on the same day that the night paci has to go! Big Smile

It was easier for us than I expected. Every morning when he got up for a week I asked him to throw his binky in the trash (instead of back in the crib). After he did I gave him his "treat" (a gummy vitimin lol). On the last day I told

I do not know becuase we still have it for nighttime and nap time. Neither DH nor I are comfrotable with cold turkey. Our dentist said it is not a big issue yet becuase she uses it so little. A couple months ago she actually stopped using it for almost a

Hmmmm, I kind of doubt he will willingly put it in the trash. He's very aware trash goes away forever. He screams out for the binky when we attempt to forget it at night - like screaming/sobbing until he vomits. He also keeps it in

We're in the same boat - uses it for naps and bedtime, but that's it. I don't know what we're going to do, but we're leaning towards cold turkey this summer. I know he wouldn't understand the paci fairy. We're just going to tell ourselves that it'll be a

I agree with PP that is was easier than expected. DD only would use her's for nap and night time and last Friday we decided to go cold turkey. Friday morning we said 'bye bye' to her binki as she got up. We had recently went to Disney

I have no clue. I know we need to ditch it but I have no idea how. I really don't think DS would get the whole paci fairy thing. I think we're going to try snipping the bulbs so they lose suction.

My pedi has said as long as we ditch by age 3 we're fine, so we are going to wait longer to get rid of it. She only uses it at night time. At daycare, she doesn't use it for naps, but for her weekend naps at home she does.

Just a note on the Build-A-Bear thing if you have a VERY attached child. My friend did that for her 3-year-old and discovered after nap one day that her son had attempted to pull his dog that he built apart, just to get the paci out! I swear this is what

I don't know much about pacifiers - mine wasn't ever a heavy paci user. But he definitely is a blankie chewer - totally gnaws on it at nap & bedtime. Is blankie nibbling/sucking/chewing similarly bad for teeth?
