[quote=Anonymous]I've created a monster, I know. My 2 year old still uses a pacifier and I'm desperately trying to break away from using it during the day and only use for nap and bedtime. I haven't been so successful... Again, my fault. Today I took them away when he woke up and it's been a morning from hell. We had a major meltdown when getting dressed which lasted 30 mins and then we left to run errands and he was ok but screamed the entire time in the checkout line desperately grabbing at my bag looking for a pacifier. When we got in the car total screaming meltdown crying the whole way home.Then we got home and played and he was ok until all the sudden he remembered his beloved pacifiers and began looking for them and crying which turned into a major meltdown that lasted 45 minutes of crying, pulling my hair and pulling on my shirt to the point it almost ripped. This is horrible but I won't give in. Will it get better because this sucks. He doesn't understand the idea of giving away our pacifiers. It won't make sense to him. Since I'm already in the pits of paci hell do I just get rid of it altogether cold turkey or am I nuts? Any tips or is there a good book I could read to him about getting rid of our paci? This last meltdown was just awful.
