I think the longest was about three months and then they all just kept spitting them out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-need-a-pacifier-to-fall-sleep#post-501386 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 07:15:51 +0000 Beebug 501386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She is 12w and most of the time we put it in for her to fall asleep. Sometimes she doesn't use it (lucky!) but most of the time she does. I kinda hate that's the way, but it works fine (never have to pop it back in) at bedtime, but middle of the night nurse sessions it means an extra hour (sometimes less, sometimes more) awake for me, popping it back in.....like right now....and I haaaaate it.</p> <p>Will wait more time (couple months I guess?) to either CIO or for her to learn to pop it back in herself.....in the meantime.....! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-need-a-pacifier-to-fall-sleep#post-501352 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 03:30:13 +0000 pinkcupcake 501352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, it usually falls out of her mouth but she can find it and pop it back into her mouth now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-need-a-pacifier-to-fall-sleep#post-501181 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 23:12:59 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 501181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: That was a frustrating time, but around 8 months, she started putting it in by herself. We were actually talking today about how in the world we're going to start weaning her from it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-need-a-pacifier-to-fall-sleep#post-501172 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 22:56:20 +0000 skibobrown 501172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Yeah... it's the most frustrating thing to have to replace the pacifier in the night. We did a little bit of sleep training around 7 months to try to get her to fall asleep without the pacifier. It was somewhat successful, but then soon afterward she started replacing her binky on her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-need-a-pacifier-to-fall-sleep#post-501165 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 22:51:11 +0000 Bao 501165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skibobrown: she is 4.5 months old, so hopefully in a couple months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-need-a-pacifier-to-fall-sleep#post-501163 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 22:50:08 +0000 skibobrown 501163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. The binky is *required* for sleeping. It's always such a disaster when we accidentally leave the house without it.<br /> @Bao: How old is your LO? Our daughter started reliably putting her binky back in on her own maybe around 7 or 8 months. It's awesome. Now we just put her down in her crib every night w/ 4 binkies scattered around her bed. When she wakes up she just grabs the nearest one and then goes back to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-need-a-pacifier-to-fall-sleep#post-501143 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 22:32:21 +0000 MamaMoose 501143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She likes to suck on it to fall asleep but once she's really asleep she spits it out. It's hysterical sometimes she spits it with such force that it's at the end of the crib when I go get her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-need-a-pacifier-to-fall-sleep#post-501102 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 22:08:03 +0000 Kemma 501102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think LO has only had a paci twice in her twelve weeks of life but she will suck on her hands if she's a little hungry when I put her down for sleep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-need-a-pacifier-to-fall-sleep#post-501098 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 22:05:37 +0000 stargal 501098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup for the most part. Oh well I pick my battles these days lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-need-a-pacifier-to-fall-sleep#post-501087 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 21:56:49 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 501087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Strangely enough, I didn't even start giving him one until he was well past six months. Not to say we didn't try but every time we would, he would keep it in for just a few minutes then spit it back out - the 'fooler', as my mother calls it sometimes, wasn't fooling him. Now at nearly a year old, I'm afraid I've helped him develop a bad habit! He can't fall asleep without one but it'll usually fall out sometime before he wakes up - although occasionally it hasn't - and depending on his mood, he may spend most of his day with it in. He's perfectly capable of picking it up and putting it back in his mouth whenever he wants to or vice versa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-need-a-pacifier-to-fall-sleep#post-500571 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:51:39 +0000 prettylizy 500571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She gave up on her soother and picked up her thumb around 5.5-6 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-need-a-pacifier-to-fall-sleep#post-500570 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:50:31 +0000 Andrea 500570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 liked the paci but I took it away at 1 yr. So far DD2 doesn't care for it. I think she is going to suck her fingers instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-need-a-pacifier-to-fall-sleep#post-500561 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:44:34 +0000 runsyellowlites 500561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. She weaned herself from it at 7.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-need-a-pacifier-to-fall-sleep#post-500560 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:42:11 +0000 LaineysMom 500560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only once in a while.. But gosh is it annoying when she does. It feels like I have to get up every 5-10 min to put it back in her mouth.</p> <p>Sometimes she holds it in herself with her little hand and it's really cute. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-need-a-pacifier-to-fall-sleep#post-500557 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:39:49 +0000 autumnlove 500557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but she sucks her thumb! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-need-a-pacifier-to-fall-sleep#post-500555 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 16:38:59 +0000 Bao 500555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO usually needs it to sleep at night, but it will eventually fall out and she will wake up some hours later wanting it back. I can't wait until she can put it back in herself. She just put herself to sleep in her swing without it though! </p> <p>Does your LO need a pacifier to fall asleep? </p>
