Until what age did your child have a pacifier?

I started taking my son to the dentist super early he's 2 1/2 and has been twice, but the dentist told me that it would be good for it to be gone by 2 but as long as he didn't have it at 3 he would be fine. I can't remember his exact age but he was about 1 1/2 and he was VERY attached to it especially when he went to sleep. I started taking it away from him for his naps and he never noticed, and after about a week I stopped giving it to him for bed and he never noticed.

I was a little worried that he wouldn't do very well because there are younger kids at church that still have them but he never seemed to miss it. I do know from personal experience that it REALLY needs to be gone before 4 and so does thumb sucking etc. I was still sucking my thumb at 4 and my dentist put a spacer in the roof of my mouth so I couldn't; while it spaced my teeth out and I had braces for like 6 months it was horrible when I was 4, because there were a lot of rules that went along with it like no gum, peanut butter,etc.I hope this has helped.

My best friend used to suck her thumb (like into 2nd or 3rd grade! ) and it's easier to take a away binky then cut off a thumb so we used them right away. My daughter had one until she was 18 months, then it was for sleeping only until but it was gone before she was two.My son didn't start one right away because he had issues with nursing so he only slept with one, but it was harder to wean him off of it and we had to throw them all out because he kept finding them.

We started getting rid of them at 18 mos and they were gone before 2 years in both cases.

We used a pacifier and my son got really addicted to it. He could not sleep with out it. When he got just over a year and we were trying to get him off the bottle and to a sippy cup we started to wean him off it.

We still let him have it at night, but just hid it during the day. When he's ask for it we'd just say it's gone. When we finally got him taking his day time nap without it -which took a few weeks where he was really fussy - we started putting him to bed at night with out it.

This went more smoothly than the daytime nap adjustment. It only took 2 maybe 3 nights.

8 months. It was unintentional though. We lost them both and didn't have money for new ones till payday....4 days away....so I let him fuss it out or gave him toys to chew on.By the time payday rolled around he didn't need one anymore, the toy worked for it.

6mos, 2mos, 3 mos. But the youngest 2 never really did care about them. The oldest is now 7 and the dogs kept chewing through her's so I just tossed them and didn't get any more.

He never had one - I often offered one as I would have liked the peace and quiet but he never took to it. I was kinda glad I didn't have it to get rid of though!

My 4 years old daughter never had one. She didn't like it and so I didn't even try to make her like pacifier.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
