LO stopped around 3 months, LO 2 at 1 month and LO 3 doesn't really use them anymore. She might take one a few times a week when we are out but she doesn't want one at nap or nighttime anymore.
-
Both of mine hated the paci. My son was done at 5 months and my daughter at 3 months.
-
Lo1 was done by 7 months and lo2 had the paci once - she hated it!
-
2.5 and still loves her Dum Dum
-
LO1 at 6 months, lo2 has just given it up now at 5 months
-
DD hated it from day 1
-
DS is going hard on 3 and still uses it for sleep. He doesn't seem quite as attached anymore though so I am really hoping it'll be ok to ditch it on his birthday. (We have a transatlantic flight coming up and he'll be allowed to use it for that (ear pressure) and once we're back home we'll really start weaning). DD is 13m and newly obsessed. She only used to use it for sleep but they tend to allow her to use it at daycare all the time and now she wants it all the time.
She'll not have it unless sleeping, flying or driving for our vacation so I hope it'll be a little better then.
-
Neither of my girls took to the paci.
-
DS never took to them. We'll see with #2.
-
Right around 6 mo.
-
2.5, but from 18months till then it was just for sleep at home.
-
Lo is 22 months and still uses it w us but not at daycare. We're weaning from nursing now, so we don't want to take the paci away yet but will soonish...she is really attached to it though, it's going to be rough!
-
Both of my kids didn't take a pacifier. LO2 used it for the longest. Maybe a few weeks?
-
Both my girls only used it for the first few months, maybe 2-3 months
-
Both girls still use one. DD1 is 2.5 and uses it only for sleep and DD2 is 10 months and uses it in the car, for sleep and usually right after dinner before bed because she's fussy. I definitely don't use it as much with DD2 as I did DD1. I plan on limiting it to only sleep for her when she turns one because I don't want another 2 year old walking around with it all day. We are still having a hard time keeping it only to sleep. She uses it to cope with everything. First time mom mistake
-
We went cold turkey about a month back. LO1 was a little over 2.5.
It was much easier than I anticipated. She's had a big year...new sister, big girl bed, potty training, and now no paci--she's handled it all like a champ.
eta: after she was a year, she couldn't have it outside of the crib anymore. If she was upset in public or the car or at home, we didn't deal with it by giving a paci, so maybe that made the weaning easier. I don't know.
-
DD didn't really take a paci till like 4-5 months, and of cousre now at 15 mo she loves her binky. I'm hoping to get rid of it by 18 months!
-
DS at 18 mths. We took it away cold turkey and it was fine. DD at 24 mths. We had to snip the top so it was "broken". Took her approx a week to get over it.
-
Probably around 5 months, but it was never very effective before that either.
-
Around 5ish-6 months. She only used it for the initial soothing and falling asleep stage. I think entering daycare helped to move her along without it.
-
She really only used it for naps in the car or carrier until 5-6 months. She did not need it so I took them away. My MIL found a Wubbanib recently in her toy box and gave it to her- she was obsessed- I hid it immediately.
-
2.5 is when we did it cold turkey with DS1. It was traumatic. I hope this DS2 doesn't get as attached. He already isn't as attached at almost 8 weeks. He can actually sleep without it versus DS1 who slept with it every night and nap since 3 days old.
-
What?? really... so young? DD is 2 and still uses it to sleep and nap. I am in no rush to cut it out. I can't believe so many babe's cut it out so soon.
-
DD hated pacifiers from day 1 and would never take them.
-
My LO would reluctantly take one until about four or five months old and then they just became chew toys. She likes to play with them, but doesn't use them as a paci.
-
E didn't start using a "sassy" until he was 6 months old, and used it until a few months after his second birthday (but after a year he only used them for naps and night sleep). D took it away cold turkey (we had been talking about how sassies are for babies and he's not a baby anymore) but that was it. He gave it up with no problem.
She'll not have it unless sleeping, flying or driving for our vacation so I hope it'll be a little better then.
