[quote=Anonymous]Both my kids also used their pacis for sleep until 4-5. Yes that is late, we had our reasons that I don’t feel the need to delve into for dcum but I don’t regret it at all. It allowed my kids to nap through age 4 (not every day but both would nap some days even at age 4), have comfort etc. and then they both dropped it and it was a forgotten item when they were actually developmentally ready. Both their teeth moved back no problem. Our dentist personally says this: in an ideal world would no kid suck their thumb or use a paci? Sure. But his own kid sucked his thumb til 5 and is fine. And in the real world there are kids that need sucking for comfort. He said try to reduce it where you can and if your kid can tolerate it stop it but as long as it’s removed before the big teeth start to come in usually the teeth move back into place.

I decided to prioritize the comfort over what felt like a small risk with teeth since most kids get braces anyway. Give yourself through 2 and maybe try at 3. [/quote]
