[quote=Anonymous]I wanted to get rid of my daughter's before she turned 3. She used it for sleep and occasional soothing. About a month before her birthday, we would talk about her being a "big girl" when she turned 3 and not needing a paci anymore. Then around her third birthday, we made a big deal out of it. Two of them had stuffed animals attached so we cut off the paci part together and she could keep the animal. No tears, nothing. We did it before a weekend nap, anticipating she wouldn't nap, and she didn't that day, but went to sleep normally. I gave her a big treat in the morning for not crying about her paci (a cupcake, IIRC). I was honestly shocked. Around the same time she got a big pink stuffed unicorn (almost as big as she is) and that became her soothing mechanism. So, it might work out better than you think! [/quote]
