How to wean 2 year old of pacifier?

[NishaaS123]

I want to start weaning my baby of pacifier specially during the day he always has it in his month during play time any tips guys?

Start by saying it just for bed time and take it off him as soon as he wakes up or just go totally cold turkey and stay they are only for babies.

Go cold turkey and he’ll get over it in a day.

Just for bedtime, get them to put it under pillow when they get up. After a while it becomes habit. Just had to do this with my 2 year Old and was surprisingly easy.

We did cold turkey for my 18 month old. He only had at night to sleep and two weeks on he is still taking forever to go to sleep so try and get a good nights sleep the day before you try I'd say as you might not for a while after! I prefer cold turkey to avoid any confusion, easier to just be gone completely rather than ok sometimes and not others.

The dummy fairies came to take ours, to give them to babies who needed them more. They left a gift which eased the pain.

"Lose it"

@jugglerofballs we had the dummy fairy too - this worked really well

Go round the house and bin every single one (so you don't cave) then tell him they're lost.

Have you ever had a 2 year old who uses a dummy? They're definitely not over it in a day.

OP we did daytime weaning first. Big children don't have dummies in the day etc and let her keep it at night, then did the 'exchange it with Santa' thing at Christmas- although the dummy fairy is more appropriate at this time of year.

I did it with my daughter . She arrived home one day and I explained she was too big now for a pacifier. All hell broke loose. I had a barbie for her but that didn't do anything. 2 nights of hell and all over

Pacifier?
I let my Dd outgrow her dummy, which she did at around 4.
I felt no need to take away her comfort at nighttime when she was still relatively young.
Besides I sucked my thumb until I was 8 and good luck with taking that away!

Maybe I just got lucky with mine then 😂
