The young kid at the counter looked at me like I had 2 heads when i told the girls to hand him their pacis and take their toys. I slid him my credit card so they didn't see. One biddy never asked about it again and the other cried about it for a week at bed time, and still asks for it when she's tired.

I met Janice in Chicago at Kraft Foods. Couldn't help but comment. Our son, the only "Nuk" lover, gathered all his Nuks and placed in a ziploc bag. We took them to the doctor and the doctor, one by one, tossed them in the garbage. The doc became the bad guy, took the pressure off of us, as parents, and life went on. Garrett never asked for his Nuks again! Sandy Hi Susan, Nice to meet you. I met Janice in Chicago at Kraft Foods.

My oldest refused to ever take a paci at all and my younger stopped wanting one around 4 months old. Both of my siblings had the same luck with their kids. I guess we're just not a paci-loving family! I’m so glad that I never had to go through this ordeal.

Yes, multiple...in her crib and around the house. :) When she turned two, I started limiting daytime use and kept it mainly to nighttime. what it would do to her teeth was what prompted the start of limited use. :) She was a little resistant but went with the flow. Nighttime was tougher, so I cut a little of the top off so she couldn't suck on it. When we realized she would still suck on it, I cut more off. She cried a little bit, but she eventually just liked holding it in her hand at nighttime, which we didn't mind. By the time she was 2.5 years, she started forgetting about the pacifier at night. I must say, though, that I definitely missed the cuteness factor of it all and it was hard for me as her mommy to see her growing up! Things change SO quickly! :) My daughter (now 4) loved her pacifiers!

Mommy is the only pacifier he will use. With my oldest 3, we just took the paci away - cold turkey - at the age of 2. Our 4th, however, was the hardest one to break of the paci. We ended up handing the pacis over to the Easter Bunny when she was about 2 and a half. If you want to read all about it, you can do so here: http://www.5vinezmonkeys.com/2009/04/she-handed-her-pacifiers-over-to-easter.html Now, if you have any tips on how to get a baby to stop using Mommy as a pacifier, I'd love to hear them.

I was really dreading this moment and it just kind of happened. I told her that Tinker Bell was coming to take her passy's to give them to the babies since she wasn't a baby anymore. She's 2 1/2. She was OK with Tinker Bell coming to take them and hasn't asked for them since. I really thought this would be a struggle, but it ended up being really easy! Well, except she has boycotted Tinker Bell lately.. but that's a good thing... ;) Good luck! We just got rid of my daughter’s passy about 2 months ago.

It grossed me out. I was also worried about how it would effect his teeth. My nieces teeth started poking out from her paci. Not good! At first we just snipped the end so it would not work right. Mind you he only had it at night at this point. After a couple of days we just told him it was gone. He was fine and went right to sleep.
