Bye Bye Binkies!

The tips have been cut off of their binkies this evening. The ladiesare not happy!

We rubbed their backs and they fell asleep.....not sure what will
happen when they wake up! ...and lord knows what will happen for nap tomorrow!!!!

Wish me luck!!!

I had planned to take them away at 2 but lately they scream for their binki and it drives me nuts. I usually only give them for night and nap but they have been wanting them more often.....SO....it's time.....

 

Good luck Kelly!!! I hope it goes easily for you!!! :hug99:

(just out of curiosity, what's the purpose behind cutting tips off? Just to tick them off or what? Haven't heard of that~)

 

I hope the screaming is short lived! :hug99: Are the cut off tips to serve as ear plugs for yourself? :winking0009:

 

When there is a hole in the end, they don't get the same satisfaction because they are sucking in air....and they don't like that. I tried it to be sure the hole was big enough!!!

 

Good luck Kelly. Remember to stay strong. Day 2 was the hardest for us and then they were fine. Keep us posted!

 

My son is the only one who took to a "paci" Since he was 1, we only allowed it during sleep time, no other time, and especially not out of the house. About 1 month before turning 2, I accidently forgot to give it him before nap and once I remembered he was already sleep. So that night I didn't give it him, to see what would happen, he fell asleep ! It has now been a month and he hasn't asked for it. I can tell he missed it especially a few night when he had a cold, but we are now off paci !!!! We attribute our success to that we only allowed him to use at sleep time ( like you). I also think we were successful cause he was ready to give it up. Maybe you can replace binkie for a stuffed animal of their choice.
