My son was given his “binkie” from the hospital, against my will. Being a firs time mother, I was hesitant to take it away. I finally got tired of him being dependant on it to be happy. So by a year, it was gone. I also got rid of the bottle as well. It is easy once you figure out that you can do it. Your child won’t remember “being traumatized”, you will. That is why you don’t want to give it up. I was the same way. In the words of NIKE, just do it. It won’t be as bad as you think.

Don’t worry too much about it. My 2 1/2 year old has a pacifier and a blankie and she sleeps good at night. I remember having potty training problems with my son who is now almost 12. He wasn’t potty trained until he was 4 years old. I look back fondly on those days now. And 10 years from now, you will also wish you had these problems again.

My son also had his paci till he was over 2 1/2. He wanted a batman for Christmas that year. We explained to him that was a big boy toy and he’d have to give up his baby paci if that was what he really wanted. When we went to visit Santa at the mall, he gave his paci to a confused looking Santa. Needless to say, Santa brought Batman that Christmas and we have lived a happy, peaceful life. It was HIS CHOICE to “trade in” the paci. Maybe he could trade it in with the Easter Bunny!?! Good Luck

Dr. Misti sees my son and she is wonderful. I was lucky enough for my son to get rid of his pacifier and bottle all by himself.

Let him keep the paci, keep it until our health department and some special interest group gets wind of this and declares it a child endangering issue, mental health type. Won’t supprise me to see a issue on the next ballot. BINKIE BAN, issue what ever. Since bans are so popular these days. You can bet there will be a 4 million dollar investigative follow up, they call it research and developement, then the ban will be passed only allowing binkie’s to be used in your home, not in public.
