Moms my son is about to drive me up the wall 😂. Okay so here's the story... my son has been using the same old pacifier for about 9 months. It got soft over time and soggy. Tonight was the end of that. My son was walking around and all of a sudden I see two parts on the floor. One half of the pacifier on one side of the room and the other still on his chest attached to the pacifier holder. Moms my son is attached to this thing. How do I get him to slowly stop depending on one. Yes I know I should have been done this step but I'm a first time mom and I didn't really want him crying all the time lol. Any advice?
