We are having a hard time thanks!! This weekend, we finally became a pacifier free house. This was my method. It might be the best way to do it, but I did it without making up stories or being deceitful. DD turned 2 in June. We basically had a goodbye ceremony. My DH was there. I showed her the pacifier, and I cut the end of it off. I told her it was broken, and she needed to say goodbye to her pacifier. She didn't say goodbye, and she cried quite a bit. I then threw both ends in the outside trash can. With the last pacifier, my DH got the excellent idea of asking her if she wanted to throw her pacifier away like a big girl. She smiled and said yes. She threw it in the trash. She has woken up in the middle of the night crying for her pacifier, but she is okay without it during the day. We cut it and put it in the outside trash can to keep the parents -- us -- from getting it back for her when she cried. We also remind her that she is a big girl, and big girls don't need pacifiers. It is hard, but you can do it. Just throw them away, and deal with the crying. A friend told me I was mean for doing it that way, but I told her that being mean is all part of the job of being a mother. -- ==Daye== Momma to Jayan #2 EDD 11 Jan 2004 E-mail: brendana AT labyrinth DOT net DOT au |

My daughter is now 2. I was wondering if anyone had any advise on getting
rid of a passifier(passy)(nuk)(whatever you call it) I don't want her to be stuck on it till she is 3-4. We are having a hard time thanks!! My DD wasn't interested in one .. but my neice just didn't want to give hers up. My SIL bought pacifiers for preemie babies (I'm sure she had to order them online) and it was quite a bit of work for my niece to keep it in her mouth ... finally she just didn't want it anymore. FWIW, my SIL didn't say a word about it to my niece, she just kept throwing out the regular ones and going down in size until she got the smallest one she could find. Good luck, ~Kat Planet Claire has pink air All the trees are red No one ever dies there No one has a head |

We had the "dummy"(aussie term) fairy come.
We prepared her before hand, saying that the fairy was going to come soon and take away her dummy, and leave her a very special present. The night it happened, I told her she needs to put it under her pillow, so the fairy will find it. This was on her 2nd birthday....... She had no troubles with it. We got her a doll she could take everywhere, a special doll with a new pram. She asked for her dummy the next day a couple of times, but, when reminded that the fairy took it. She was ok...and 2 days after never worried about it again All the best Fiona "Denise" wrote in message ... My daughter is now 2.

i've tried the smaller ones,but she likes those too. We have tried the limiting to the night but she screams for it all day. i am planning on I think you must have given in to her or she wouldn't keep doing this. Anything that is really important (like being strapped into a car seat or not running out in the street) you don't give in to her on no matter how much of a fuss she made (at least I'd bet that is the case). You just have to be more determined not to give it to her than she is that she has to have it. Or else accept the fact that this isn't one of the battles that you have to win, and wait for the natural end. Of course, your having tried to limit her MAY mean that the natural end of pacifier use will be quite delayed and she will want to keep it well beyond where normally it wouldn't be of interest any more because she feels that you are trying to put something over on her so she might become more determined to have it. trying to go back to work and the day cares don't allow them to have them all day so I am hoping this will help with the end of the passy!! grandma Rosalie |
