Do you think if you take it away she will just chew on her fingers? Sorry, that sounds stressful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/howwhen-did-you-break-lo-of-their-lovey-habit#post-1633897 Wed, 14 May 2014 13:26:11 +0000 lamariniere 1633897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS will be 3.5 next month and still has like 4 lovies. He doesn't put them in his mouth though. I have no plans to wean him from them, but then again, he only uses them for sleeping. I also let him hold on to one, if he wants it, when we travel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/howwhen-did-you-break-lo-of-their-lovey-habit#post-1633731 Wed, 14 May 2014 12:34:15 +0000 BeachMama 1633731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO used a lovey, when and how did you break the habit?</p> <p>DD loves her lovey. She never took to a pacifier, but she has always sucked and chewed on a corner of her lovey. It's disgusting. I try to switch them out every day or so because they smell awful. I don't really have a problem with her using a lovey, but I think the chewing/sucking is getting gross and I worry about it affecting her teeth. I don't think I'm ready to take it away completely, but I'm starting to think about when we might try and what the process would look like. I think it'd have to be a slow weaning. </p>
