My 27 month old son is obsessed with his pacifierS.\u00a0 The problem is, they keep disappearing on us.\u00a0 I don’t know where they go or how they get lost, but they do.\u00a0 I kid you not, but we’ve probably purchased over 100 pacifiers in his lifetime.\u00a0 If you’ve ever purchased any before, you know they’re not cheap.\u00a0 \"kyle1monthwpaci\"<\/a>The going rate is $10 for 2 (on average).\u00a0 So if you do some quick math, we’ve probably spent<\/del> invested somewhere around\u00a0$500 on\u00a0these plastic and rubber gadgets. I know what you’re thinking… “get one of those clips so he doesn’t lose them” or\u00a0“just stop giving him pacifiers.”\u00a0\u00a0 Brilliant ideas and I should know because I’ve thought about doing both of these things, but it’s easier said than done.\u00a0 First of… my son is smarter and stronger than he looks. He’s pretty up-to-date on what’s in fashion and what’s not, and apparently, the pacifier clips ARE NOT!\u00a0 He immediately pulls them off his shirt so what we have left is a pacifier in his mouth with a clip hanging down from it.\u00a0 Not useful at all.\u00a0 \"kyle2monthswpaci\"<\/a>I can’t stop giving him the pacifiers because he’s obsessed with them, and baby #2 is expected to arrive in about two weeks time.\u00a0 As if I won’t damage this kid’s self-esteem enough (he’s a momma’s boy), to take away his one other true love (sorry Dad) would truly kill him.\u00a0 Not to mention, I’m pretty sure one’s love for pacifiers are hereditary.\u00a0 It’s no joke!\u00a0 My husband John used pacifiers until he was 4 years<\/strong> old!!<\/strong>\u00a0 \"johnpaci2\"<\/a><\/span>In fact,\u00a0I was told that when he was four,\u00a0his parents\u00a0only allowed him to suck his pacifier in his room.\u00a0 So John would stomp his way to his room, sit on his bed, suck on his pacifier (with a “this is not fair” look on his face) and then leave his room when he had enough.\u00a0 Also, John loved having multiple pacifiers at all time.\u00a0 One in his mouth, and one between his nose and upper lip.\u00a0 This is no easy feat people.\u00a0 Go ahead, give it a try.. it’s harder than it looks.\u00a0 Yet somehow, my son has mastered this magic trick without anyone showing him how.\u00a0 Genetics – it’s sometimes stronger than you think! \"pacifier\"<\/a> \"johnpaci3\"<\/a>The other issues with taking his pacifier away from him is that as of a month or two ago, he’s demanding that he has two pacifiers within reach at ALL times.\u00a0 One in the mouth does not suffice anymore.\u00a0 As you can see, we’re not moving forward with this whole pacifier issue.\u00a0 We’re regressing… even before baby #2 arrives. The current question is, do we introduce pacifiers to our second child?\u00a0 Or do we forego it all together?\u00a0 The reason we started with Kyle is because he was colicky baby and it really soothed him.\u00a0 It also really helped him sleep better at night (at least it’s one of the reasons we attribute to his good sleeping habits).\u00a0 I personally don’t care that he’s over two and still uses them, but it’s hard to get him to remove them for pictures, and he’s just that much cuter without them! \"DSC_0725\"<\/a> \"DSC00027\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What was your experience with pacifiers?\u00a0 Love or Hate them?\u00a0 If you gave them to your child, when did you take it away and how?\u00a0 Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated as we contemplate our move with baby #2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
