[quote=Anonymous]Our dentist and pediatrician told us by 3....ours only used it at sleep time but when new baby arrived and she was stressed out she started wanting it all of the time. Her teeth were noticeably forward and my husband was very distressed by her pacifier mouth and wanted to take it away then...I refused as she ( and i) were going through stress of entire life bring different with new baby.   I bought paciifers aren't forever book and she loved the book, asked older colder cousins what they did with they did to sleep without theirs, and read the section on back about a pacifier fairy where you turn your pacifiers in for a special treat /celebration. She was very excited and asked all her cousins to join but I dreaded it as she's a horrible sleeper already and I didn't want sleep to be worse without it... I told her for months it would be after we go to the beach ( she turns 3 in July). She started biting holes in all of her pacifiers and 2 or so weeks ago she stopped asking for them and they all laid under her bed..   I have no idea how but she stopped fully on her own once all of the ones in her room had holes.

Yesterday we had paci fairy ceremony with her cousins and threw them all away and she got a stuffed animal and ice cream and all is okay.  I'm super glad she had maturity of age to understand and do it on her own.

So give it time and invest in the book... if yours doesn't chew holes themselves then you can create holes for them eventually [/quote]
