When to stop the pacifier?

  • Posted on April 10, 2011 at 7:21 am

I have been reading so much and talking to different mom’s about their experience. Some mom’s make me guilty and say “well, you are addicted to chocolate or caffine, it is her addiction”…which makes me nervous actually because I don’t want her to have a habbit or addiction to a pacifier. Other mom’s say they stopped cold turkey at 1 year, others at 6 months and let their babies cry it out for a few nights. I just am torn.
My daughter, Emma, has been the best sleeper. I have had a problem lately trying to decide if I am going to stop the pacifier cold turkey. If it pops out, it is the only reason she wakes up. While falling asleep, if she pops it out, then she has to cry and start all over again. I have read that it is better to stop sooner than later, before they become really attached and more aware of the sudden change. She only uses it to sleep, not during the day at all, which I think is good! Any thoughts on what to do? Thanks!!!
I am also worried about giving her a blanket or a stuffed animal, what if she puts it over her face and can’t breathe?
I have tried to let her cry it out without her pacifier at night. She screams bloody murder for it! Once I put it in, she falls right to sleep! So, it makes me want to give it to her so she will sleep because I know she was so tired and just wanted it in her mouth. How long does it go on, crying I mean, if I take it away??
oops, I forgot to say she is 5 months old :-)

HOW CAN I GET MY 14 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER TO STOP SUCKING HER PACIFIER?

  • Posted on August 26, 2010 at 10:22 pm

I want to get my 14 month old daughter to stop sucking on her “bobo” pacifier, but her bobo is like her best friend she can’t sleep without it, or anything. It’s almost like if she’s addicted to it lol. Please help!
I don’t give it to her in the day time unless is nap time and when she is ready to go to bed. That bobo is like my daughter’s best friend, lol. It means the world to her. I just don’t want her to get closer to her bobo and then be too late to get her off it.
Thank you all for the answers! :)

How can I make my daughter stop using a pacifier?

She will be 5 months old on May 13. She is addicted to pacifiers and I hate them. They always fall or I always seem to be losing them. She is generally a very easy baby but when she wants her pacifier its a different story. What can I do to help my daughter in this situation? Does your baby still take a pacifier?

I want to go cold turkey. I feel like it’s affecting her speech, maturity, and teeth for sure. She is upstairs screaming right now. Oh wait she is asleep. So I was just wondering how any of you did it, of course she is going to ask for it in the morning.
