I would separate your projections on your child and how your child actually feels. People say judgmental things all the time and they aren’t always monsters and you aren’t always a victim. Sometimes they are well meaning and sometimes they have no filter. I have three children under six and my husband and I work full time with zero family help so I understand the paci thing but piece of advice - there is never a good time to take it away or potty train or do anything. Sometimes you just need to do it.

And if it makes you feel better, when my second child was 16 months (and sitting on my lap for a three hour flight) and my eldest was three I flew to FL at 28 weeks pregnant and on the plane the woman in the row behind me talked incessantly to her two adolescent children about how my 16 month old had a paci and how it was bad for her teeth. It was definitely a ‘WTF did I do to deserve this torture’ moment but you just have to tune these people out. They need to feel self-righteous or holier than thou and they will find a way. [/quote]
