My 21 month old still takes a pacifier at night to go to sleep. I still rock her down. (Don't judge.) This has been working ok for us. Then last night she declared her pacifier "yucky!" and sobbed her poor little heart out on and off for at least 30 minutes before finally collapsing. I tried everything I could think of and she was just sad and intermittently saying "yucky" through her tears.

I thought it was maybe a one night thing but we had a repeat performance tonight. I am not sure my nerves can take this much crying every night.

On the one hand, if she is ready to give up the pacifier, I am not going to complain as we can skip that battle. But it is so hard for her and hard for me to see her so upset and be able to do so little to soothe her.

Has anyone else gone through this? Or anyone have advice in general?
