getting rid of the pasifire PLEASE HELP?

I don't know. I never really gave my son a chance to get attached to it. By the time he was 4 months he only used it to go to sleep. He was completely done by 7 months because I would only give it to him every other night until finally it wasn't even missed. I would suggest telling her that she is a big girl now and she doesn't need it anymore. That always works when my son (he's almost 2) starts to cry or throw a fit. Good luck.

You might want to start by limiting when she can have it, if you haven't already. Maybe you can make sure it stays in the house 'so we won't lose it.' After leaving it in the house for awhile then maybe you could restrict it to bedtime. After a few weeks of this comes the final blow - or if you are desperate, you could do this one first - cut the very tip off the pacifier. This REALLY makes it so much less satisfying to suck on. I did this when my son was 2 yrs 9 mos and in just a week or so he gave it up. He did ask at one point [robot-like voice at that age] "Mom mee. Can you put. the. tips. back on?" I nearly crumbled at that request, cuz obviously I hadn't cut them all at one time!! Saved a few for emergencies, but there never were emergencies. I've heard of other people that have had great success with telling the child for a few weeks that one night the "Paci Puppy" would come and take all her paci's and give her a BIG PRESENT because she was such a BIG GIRL now that she didn't need her paci's anymore.

My daughter was 2 years old when her Grandmother came for a visit. She stayed for 2 weeks and when she was packing she told my daughter she knew of a little baby who needed a Binky. The 2 of the packed all hers in grandmas suitcase and when she'd ask for them later I told her a very happy little baby was using them now. Now I'd like to tell you that everything went great but we did have several nights where going to sleep was a problem but with some patience you can all get thru it. Also try to limit the times she can use her pacifier during the day, this makes it some easier.

I feel your pain and it is really a bitmuch i have a three year old that is infactuated with her Binkki and everytime I seem to loose it she finds some way to get a new one.. It is difficult i tried telling her she is a big girl and big girls don't use Binkki's those are for baby's. she went for it for about a week and then nothing.. I am currently 4 months preg and hope to rid of it before baby comes if not i hope her seeing the baby w/help out. I would use those same tactics... tell her she's your helper and let her watch you feeding the baby and talk to her and explain why she don't need it anymore.. alternative the cold turkey deal with the crying for a few days after that she will forget about it.. Good Luck sweetie...

Cold turkey or the pacifier fairy. Same concept as the tooth fairy. Replace it with something she'll enjoy!
