So that will be my next purchase, I guess...


I'd probably vote for a natural elimination. Once he's chewed it to bits
maybe he'll just realize he has to do without? Otherwise maybe you could
transition with something. Since he is chewing and not sucking perhaps
something entirely different? I went to an occupational therapy work shop
once. Some kids (big kids or even adults) chew on things as a sensory need.
They actually make a thing called a fidget (I have the site saved somewhere
if you want it) but the OT said aquarium tubing works just fine. A person
can chew away and it doesn't break to pieces.


DD#3's pacifier was snatched from her by a raccoon in a petting zoo.
She knew where it went, and just said 'fire all gone'. That was the
end of it. We didn't prepare her particularly as we didn't know it
would happen. But I think she was ready to give it up anyway.
