[quote=Anonymous]Apparently when I was a thumb sucker to age 7 the pediatrician told my mom orthodontia was cheaper than therapy (though eventually I needed both). Our older DD was very attached to her pacifier which we only gave her for bedtime. Just after age 4 she needed her tonsils out and couldn’t have it afterwards because the sucking can start the bleeding back up. It’s the only thing she wanted and was so sad. I wished I’d pulled it before. She had to go cold turkey. At 10 days she asked if she could have it back and I said she’d done so well I thought she should be done with them, which she was. With our younger one, we removed the pacifier around 18 months. She has a harder time self soothing and we wonder if that was too soon. It’s hard to know! 5 does seem late but there are so many things we’ve struggled with as parents that I hope not to be judged about I’d try not to judge a friend who told me this. [/quote]
