Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Getting rid of pacifier

DD is 9.5 months old, and I'm thinking of taking her pacifier away. We have to replace it for her multiple times each night. I think she may sleep better without it. I'm bracing myself for a few rough nights and naps. So if you have ditched the pacifier, how did it go for you? How did you do it?

  • Maybe it will be easier than you think....we wanted to ween DD from her paci before vacation so one day I just didn't offer it to her to see what happened, and she never even missed it...I know we probably got lucky, but maybe you will too.

    Same thing happened here
  • We lost it early on, but had good luck switching to a Wubba Nub stuffed animal that has the soothie attched to it. The Wubba Nub became a lovey and DS took to snuggling it (he wasn't good at finding the paci end to put in his mouth). He's on to other loveys now that are bigger, but I do think giving him a lovey helped him transition.

  • DD is almost 11 months and is really good at finding them (I put like 4-6 so she can find them easily) at night and putting them in her mouth, but she used to be like your DD. I literally have nothing else in the crib besides pacis and it helps her self sooth so I probably won't be getting rid of it for a few months.
