Tips on how to break a toddler from a pacifier?? My daughter is going to be 2 in August and we've been trying to break her from it. She has a whole mouthful of teeth. We were able to take it from her during the day, but at nap time or bed time she won't go to sleep without it. Any advice would help. Please nothing rude.

This sounds kind of cruel but you could try putting something not very good tasting on the pacifier like lemon juice or a very light hot sauce, it will make her lose the "taste" for it. Then it's just a matter of making sure she's so tired she's falling asleep without causing a fuss over not having it. Chamomile tea is perfectly safe for toddlers and it so calming it makes them drowsy, you could mix it with some warm milk and have her drink it before bed

Tell her another baby needs it. Get her to put it in a bag in the mailbox. Later that day put a prize in a toy in the mail box she can sleep with act like a fairy brought it to her

I "lost" my first baby's binkie. She cried for a bit but got over it. They fall asleep eventually and you save their teeth

I sucked my thumb until second grade. Nothing anyone said or did made me stop. The only thing that stopped me was my mom putting Tabasco sauce on my thumb one night and I sucked it in my sleep. It woke me up and I had to run for water. I never sucked it again. I have to say it ruined my teeth and I needed braces twice.

We tried the hot sauce thing and she liked it. So it didn't work, but she has been doing so good. Now she doesn't use it for naps. Just at bedtime so we're slowly getting there.

Just take it away . Cold turkey . And there will be two or three nights that are hard then they will be fine!
