[quote=Anonymous][quote]If you decide it needs to go for some reason (and other parents telling you to grow a pair is not a good reason) then it can be done. But from a parent of a child a year old and still using one it is not the end of the world.[/quote] I asked my child's dentist and he said it would probably be ok to keep it until age 3, but honestly, I just felt really concerned that it would potentially mess up his teeth. I had a paci myself until age 4, and I have had so many dental problems (braces three times, tongue thrusting when I swallow, the need to have teeth removed). Who knows whether I would have had these issues anyway, maybe so, but they have caused me so much discomfort, aggravation, and money, I couldn't accept even a one percent chance that I might be increasing the risk they would happen to my son.
