[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been in similar situations and let me just tell you, save yourself the headache and give her the pacifier. Unless MB/DB are on the same page as you (as in never giving them to her either) it is not going to make one bit of difference what you do. It's highly unlikely that she will be able to differentiate between "if I cry mom/dad will give me my pacifier" and "if I cry, nanny won't give me my pacifier". She just knows that sometimes crying gets her a pacifier and sometimes it doesn't, so she will keep on crying on the off chance that this is one of those times she gets it.

Wait until you are all in it together, you will be way less frustrated. [/quote]

OP here. Thanks for the advice.

My charge has been going down just fine, relatively speaking, without the pacifier for the last couple months during her daytime naps. That's not the problem. The problem is when DB goes in, innocent as his intentions may be, upsets her more, and then gives her the pacifier after the fact. It only happens every now and then, but it still bugs me.

I'll just wait and see how the next visit to the pediatrician goes. I completely get what you're saying though. [/quote]
