re: HELP FROM EXPERIENCED MOMS PLEASE!!!!

you start cutting the tip back when you wean them off....every few days cut back a little more until it's practically gone


ETA: OP, I would give her the paci back

Quoting Rabbit™ {19wks}:" Some parents swear by cutting them down to wean their children off of them, but it's really a stupid and risky idea. Cutting the tips off poses a choking hazard"

I never heard of that... what stupid logic!

Quoting loser mom:" you start cutting the tip back when you wean them off....every few days cut back a little more until it's practically gone ETA: OP, I would give her the paci back"

Yeah, when they are toddlers...not infants.

I would wait tell she is a little older. I took paci away between 4 and 6 months

Quoting Emmy&Jazzy:" DD found her fist and is working on getting only her thumb lol. It's so funny bc the house can be quiet ... [snip!] ... house can be quiet and all the sudden you hear this loud sucking noise, and sure enough Jazzy has her fist in her mouth haha."

Yeah. That is my son too.. but he is 5 and a half.. I wish I can cut the sumbitch off! lol.

It's a tactic to wean toddlers off the paci. Stupid idea for infants. I tried it with my oldest but she was obsessed with chewing on everything and it back fired quick  

well, i feel like i learned a lot about pacis today.

Get bitter apple spray. You can usually get it from pet stores and it's used to keep dogs from chewing on smurf. My parents used it on me to get me to stop sucking my thumb and it didn't take long for the habit to be broken

Damnit.. at least you have something you can get rid of. lol. Damn son has his thumb. He is currently next to me sleeping with his thumb in his mouth and his other hand on a tag.

Haha. I was a thumb sucker until I was 10  
So glad my kids aren't thumb suckers. Emma had the paci addiction and Annie was just a boobaholic, lol. My luck will make it so this one will be a thumb sucker, lol

there's a nail polish thing that makes their fingers taste bitter have you tried that? my mom used to soak my sister's thumb in lemon/lime juice or vinegar for 5-10 minutes a few times a day to get her to stop sucking hers lol.

Quoting Just Ames:" So they lose the desire/pleasure from sucking. This is done on TODDLERS."

 

OP give your baby the pacifier.
