[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We tried to say it got lost which resulted in her screaming for 3 hours until we gave it to her (blood curdling, unbearable screaming like she was in terrible physical pain). We gave in on that. We poked some holes in it, no change. We have told her she can get a brand new stuffed animal like her friends, give it to a new baby who needs it, used elmo videos about saying goodbye to pacifiers, etc.[/quote] This to me might be an issue. You say your DD is really verbal. But it sounds like you are giving conflicting info. We prepared our DD for a couple of weeks by saying other babies needed them. And eventually she would talk about how the younger babies were going to get them. But we have found we really need to prepare her well in advance for transitions. Offering too many or conflicting info makes it go badly. I don't really have an opinion on when you should do it. But inconsistency is a recipe for pain. Good luck.[/quote]
