Hi, my daughter just turned two and I am now ready to try taking the binky away. We still have a few binkys. I have collected what I could find of them and put them in a little stash spot. I took one binky and cut the tip off of it. My problem is should I give her a regular one at bed and nap time or should I give her the cut one or what? I feel bad cause she is so attached to these things not blankets or anything just the binkys. Any advice would be great. Please feel free to throw out some advice. Thanks
Oh and I also have a 6 month old that takes a binky at night and sometime during the day.

I put vinegar on my daughters pacifiers. I told them it was yucky and then gave it to them. After a few tries they did not want the pacifier anymore.
I had this problem with my daughters bottle (she didn't like pacifiers) and I one day I just threw all of the bottles out except one. I let her throw the last one away explaining she was a big girl and didn't need it anymore. She was fine with the idea at first then it was a long three days of crying and screaming but eventually she got over it. You can't slowly work your way out of these things and you must be committed. This is a lesson I Iearned the hard way, so if you really want the binkys gone do it (let her be a part and explain the best you can) and don't look back . Good luck and if she's really verbal remember to breathe big -deep- breaths:) you are the one in charge and it needs to be done.
I've watched the show "Supernanny", and they had some really great ways about how to take away the binkies. The methods I saw made sure that the child was very much involved in the process of sending the binkies off. One was using a technique involving the "Paci Fairy", where the child helps gather up all the pacifiers, and "mails" them to the Paci Fairy. In return, the child gets a special gift.
enable her recognize shes a huge woman and doesnt elect it anymore. If that doesnt artwork, attempt taking it away and hiding it for awhile. If she asks/cries for it, tell her you dont recognize the place it went. initiate looking round her toys, mattress/crib and spend a stable hour or so looking. with any luck by ability of that factor, she'll merely provide up. If that doesnt artwork, attempt doing what supper nanny did. tell her its time to supply it away to the pacifier fairy. Get a toy from the greenback shop as a reward. bypass away the pacifier with a be conscious someplace and interior the morning, have the toy there, wrapped with a be conscious from the pacifier fairy. desire this facilitates!
we cut them and gave just one back to her. This one she took to bed with her and just held. When it was lost it was lost and there was no getting another one. I told her that from the get go and she held the binky in her little hand at night until after her third birthday.
