My son was super easy to break of his "binky" habit. Once he got his teeth in he started biting them. Te first time he chewed a hole in it he handed it to me because he didn't like it. I guess with a hole there is no air in the center part. I threw it away and said no more binky.. he fussed for one day and then never asked for one againAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14868081784403781485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328334532809535350.post-479539693312793742013-05-10T18:36:20.892-05:002013-05-10T18:36:20.892-05:00My first 2 were huge paci fans and were the worst ...My first 2 were huge paci fans and were the worst to drop the habit! #1 went cold turkey :( not good! #2 did a big boy trade in :) he got a new lovey and promtly started chewing the ears :) fair trade in my eyes, the next 2 never got them because I did not want to go through it again :) Good luck!!! I saw somewhere about the paci fairy where you hang them in a tree and then a gift comes the next day.... might work if there is that 1 big boy thing he wants :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233669097886742743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328334532809535350.post-53846356092524175102013-05-10T10:57:50.892-05:002013-05-10T10:57:50.892-05:00We went cold turkey.

Tell him about the Pacifier Fairy - who brings him {{an awesome toy that he wants}} in exchange for his pacifier because he is a big boy now and will have more fun playing with his new toy!

Neither of my boys were overly attached to them, though.<br /><br />Maybe encourage him by saying big boys don't need a pacifier any more?Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988396052848168103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328334532809535350.post-45704986262111207662013-05-09T22:16:51.978-05:002013-05-09T22:16:51.978-05:00We "lost" my son's right after my da...We "lost" my son's right after my daughter was born at 22 months. He fussed a little, but after about a month or so, he stopped asking for it. A friend of mine gathered up all of her daughter's and she traded them in for ice cream. It worked!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946675419746616433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328334532809535350.post-65537665387712262262013-05-09T19:28:18.472-05:002013-05-09T19:28:18.472-05:00Wow -- that sounds like a great idea!
Not sure if...Wow -- that sounds like a great idea!<br /><br />Not sure if you're down for some good ole fashioned trickery -- When I nannied, we (her parents and I) encouraged a very obstinate two and a half year old to help us send her pacis to "the babies in Africa" who needed it much more. She drew a picture, "wrote" on the envelope, packed it up, and sealed the envelope. Before nap, we put the package in the mailbox and when she woke up there was a package "from Africa" with a new movie for her. Sure -- we had some rough days, but nothing that time didn't fix. At his age, he can comprehend helping someone else :)Jess @ Spool and Spoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341203376695615577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328334532809535350.post-35864985977168610902013-05-09T19:03:08.315-05:002013-05-09T19:03:08.315-05:00we have the same issue with our almost 3 yr old ri...we have the same issue with our almost 3 yr old right now. I think soon I'll restrict it just to nap and night time, but that won't help the teeth. although they're already messed up so it's not like taking it away will fix them!Dara @ Not In Jerseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004533157267233128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328334532809535350.post-84049378108899269822013-05-09T11:00:51.622-05:002013-05-09T11:00:51.622-05:00With my son we just took him off and he was ok - n...With my son we just took him off and he was ok - no crying. But I had a friend that cut the nipple part a little. Her son found it and put it in his mouth only to tell his mama it was broke and he couldn't use it anymore. She didn't buy a new one - just kept the broken one and he would put it in his mouth for only a minute or two until he was done with it. This went on for about a week and he used the broken one a little at a time until he didn't need it anymore. Amiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15095575328503516840noreply@blogger.com
