It feels good to be able to tell it. <br /><br />As far as the paci goes, I've mostly been cautious with them, but one of my twins did take one. It was actually pretty nice! We would stick it in his mouth and he would just go right to sleep. He would only have it at nights or naps and we got rid of it when he was two.<br />My baby girl has been such a content baby so I don't think I even offered it. She did have a bottle every month or so, and usually took it pretty well. I always did feel a little sad to hear she took it fine--like she didn't miss me! Isn't it nice when they need you!Sarah Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354454314458661062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410440710208780456.post-46492061602892548422009-05-19T10:07:00.000-07:002009-05-19T10:07:00.000-07:00Yeah, I might be trying a pacifier soon too, to se...Yeah, I might be trying a pacifier soon too, to see if it helps his fussy times and especially if it can help him sleep better at night. (Not necessarily trying to get him to sleep abnormally long stretches at night, just hoping he'll actually sleep, period!)Rixahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908864785513937876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410440710208780456.post-83585300167710686152009-05-19T08:42:00.000-07:002009-05-19T08:42:00.000-07:00You've had a lot of good comments.

He could put his own "pacifier" in, and it soothes him. Stopping may be a different story. We'll have to pass that bridge when we come to it. But for now it's perfect.The Fifeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17467505540935130646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410440710208780456.post-78409204304323088872009-05-19T07:50:00.000-07:002009-05-19T07:50:00.000-07:00What I've learned....

Our last baby hated pacifiers like poison, so we didn't have to deal with the issue, but who knows about our next? One has to do what works. Congratulations on your new little one again!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10301075330910381544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410440710208780456.post-70344065325793700262009-05-19T07:27:00.000-07:002009-05-19T07:27:00.000-07:00My Mom said when I was a baby (a colicky one -- wo...My Mom said when I was a baby (a colicky one -- wonder where my girls get it from :-)!!) that I NEEDED to suck constantly, and I had a binkie in 24-7 until I was four months old when I suddenly spit it out and was done.<br />I was anti-binkie originally with Annie, but by like 4 weeks old, I would've paid good money to get that kid to take one, but she was completely uninterested. Ellie needed one too, but would never take one. Now, I'm actually really hoping to get a binkie baby one of these days!! :-)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781058037409966491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410440710208780456.post-22272035596641550982009-05-19T06:56:00.000-07:002009-05-19T06:56:00.000-07:00The more I think about it, the more I think that r...The more I think about it, the more I think that raising children is an individual thing... that no one "style" is perfect for each kid. I think that sometimes we, as mothers, are so overly inundated with various parenting techniques and mandates that we forget to trust our own intuition in the whole thing, and to allow other mothers to trust theirs. So good for you! <br /><br />I've had one pacifier baby and one finger-sucker, and both have their advantages and disadvantages. We took Connor's pacifier away around 1 year, and it was the most un-traumatic thing ever. I was shocked at how easy it was!Liz Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07549586800620411712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410440710208780456.post-72593289328371896152009-05-19T05:00:00.000-07:002009-05-19T05:00:00.000-07:00aww. well parker was a paci baby until he was like...aww. well parker was a paci baby until he was like 3 months old and then wanted NOTHING to do with it. so it might be easy to break them-- he might so it himself.<br /><br />...i'm envious of your nursing. =/Holly Steffenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425518881230704706noreply@blogger.com
