Getting baby off her pacifier
My daughter is 15 months old. She's off her bottle now, but I can't seem to get her off of her pacifier. Does anyone have ideas to get her off her pacifier?
I wouldn't mind her keeping it, except that it is starting to pull her teeth forward.

Oi child, let your little girl keep her pacifier, she is only 15 months old. Children can keep them i'd say up until they are 1 or 2 years old.
Hope i helped you dearie, rate me

Superglue the pacifier to the ground. When she realises she cant get it. She wont use it anymore.

cut the tips of the pacifiers off, all of them, she'll go to suck on one and be like "what the heck," and she'll get the concept, just remember to do it to all of them. It really works. Hope I helped -Angel

i am deciding that you should buy a chew toy,the only reason why i am saying it is because it works.at this age they start to teath and want something to chew on dont let her suck on her thom becouse it will only make it worse.it might be better to start having her drink from a baby cup.

If the problem is her teeth, first I suggest going and getting a dentist recommended pacifier. Then, I would slowly start to ween her off of it and only have it around at designated times. She needs to learn how to soothe herself without the help of a pacifier.

Try just hiding it from her, and breaking it a bit at a time. See if you can get her to go during the day without it, except for naps. Then gradually stop those. Eventually she won't need it. She'll be cranky at first.. but she'll soon find other ways to soothe herself.

Our son is almost 2. When he was almost a year, the dentist suggested we get a certain type of pacifier to fix a problem he had with his bite. That took about 6 months or so, then we went back to the other type of pacifier. Now the dentist suggests that we wean him off entirely.
It's involved a little extra crying, but first we started taking it away when he was playing actively. He was allowed to have it when he was sitting quietly, during TV time, at nap time, bed time, or if he was really upset. He got used to this after a few weeks, and we kept it steady for a few more. Then we cut it back to only during TV time right when he woke up, nap time, bed time, and if he hurt himself. We left it like that for about a month. Then it was only for sleeping, and it was only when he was in the crib. For the last week or so, we've taken it out of the crib after it falls out of his mouth when he falls asleep. So when he kinda 1/2 wakes up in the middle of the night, he puts himself back to sleep without it. Starting yesterday, we're stopping it altogether. He has cried himself to sleep, for an average of about a 1/2 hour each time so far. But we expect that by the end of the week, it will only be a few minutes of fussing, and by the end of the month, he won't ask for it.
Good luck!

Talk to your child's doctor about it. He probably knows her disposition and can provide you with good suggestions and strategies that would suit her best.

It can be very difficult to get your child to give up their pacifier, so take things slowly. If you suddenly remove it, then she'll probably really fight you for it until you cave in, which makes it much harder for you to take it away for good the next time you try. Instead, try doing it slowly. Explain to your daughter that you think she's old enough to be giving up the pacifier. Then let her have it only when she's trying to sleep, and the only when you think she particuarly needs it.
If it's possible, encourage your daughter to want to give up. If she see's being without her pacifier as a grown up thing, she'll be more willing to co-operate, although obviously young children do not always have this willpower, this can be a powerful technique. When my half-sister was giving up when she was about 2 years old, she finally choose to throw away her finally pacifier herself. If you can convince your daughter that this is something that's good for her and she wants to, then the whole process becomes easier. For this reason, it can be easier waiting until the child is a little older and easier to reason with, but it depends on the child. There will be tough nights when she has difficulty settling, but persistance will pay off. Good luck!

just let her go for a lil while, and besides, doesnt it keep her quiet? They will stop when they are ready, i sucked my thumb until the fifth grade, then once, i just put it in my mouth and it didnt really feal right, so i stopped, never have since. The point is, they will stop on their own

Take it away at night and/or in the morning or take it away during the day, she will fuss but make sure you have something else for her to play with and put her attention towards. after a while she'll forget all about the pacifier. teach her that big girls dont need pacifiers and that big girls dont use them and if she wants to be a big girl the pacifier goes away. hope i helped!

It's better to keep her on the pacifier because that you can eventually take away from her. The only time you should really be worried is if you take it away and she starts sucking her thumb. My mom had to keep giving me and my brother the pacifier because both of us started sucking our thumbs and she'd rather we had that than sucking our thumb because you can't take that away. Try to keep her on the pacifier a little longer and then gradually start to take it away from her. One thing my grandma did with my mom was she put salt on her pacifier and my mom didn't want it anymore. But that might be a little too harsh. Don't worry, you'll be able to get her off it. You just need to give it time. She's still very young. My niece is 3 and still uses her pacifier
