I have a two year old niece who still has pacifier.?


How do we make her stop? She's too big for a pacifier.

Answers:
I read this in a parenting magazine and thought what the heck I tried everything else. Our neighbor had a baby and I collected the pacifiers in a lunch bag and had my daughter come with me. We gave them to the neighbor and said it was a gift for the new baby and my daughter was a big girl and wouldn't need them. My neighbor threw the bag in our mailbox and I'd be sure I'd need them at bedtime, but she never asked for it again and she was almost 3. I was shocked, but it worked.
some kids need it for comfort. If you are worried about what OTHERS may THINK...try to give her another means of comfort and just let her have it in the house or at night...thats what we do. He only uses it at night to fall asleep or if he is sick....it keeps him calm and does not upset the routine Good luck
