Aanya takes pacifier while sleeping in night time. i remove her pacifier when she is asleep but sometime in mid night she wants it again and then she keeps sometimes for hours. I have heard it gives buck teeth to kids and spoil the shape of lips and mouth. So what should i do?

My oldest used a pacifer until he was almost 4. Or should I say he used nearly 20 pacifiers until he was almost 4. When we mentioned we needed to start thinking about getting rid of them, he started hiding them all over the house as a back-up plan! We finally gathered them all up and during the night we clipped barely enough off the end of each so that when he sucked on them his spit would get inside. Of course, when he picked it up again later it would taste bad and when he figured out all of them tasted bad, he simply stopped trying them. We told him he must have bitten the ends off because his teeth were getting so strong and he was okay with that explaination. Hope it works for ya!

After having three kids we have learned a few tricks...#1 that sucker only works if its not broken....Huh? Well for us we cut a small slit in the top of the pacifier. A hole if your will. Let her grab it and stick it in her mouth at will. After a few attempts shes gonna bring it to you. Tell her she broke it. Its not good. Let her keep it but try to get her to throw it in the trash. If she does it thats awesome. If you do it your evil in her eyes. Give it a shot. Good luck!

when you find something that works, please message me because my son is 18 months and still takes a pacifier (bink) at bed time. when i try not to give it to him he freaks out and i cave. because of this, his two front teeth are pushed out a little farther than the rest. it's actually kinda cute right now but i know it won't be down the road. don't give up searching though. i'm not.
