No binky during the day. But I allow it at home at nighttime. To be honest, I absolutely cannot face the fight right now with taking it away. She is usually pretty good about going with it when the time is right so I'm not forcing it. I am also potty training and work full time in a high stress job so now is not the time to lose sleep or wage this battle. Pick your battles is my motto.

It's not even appropriate for a kid to use it beyond age 2 or 3. At some point your child needs to grow up and find other ways to comfort himself. Parents who use binkies with older children are the same parents who spank their kids over every little infraction- they parents are too lazy to deal with their kids on a more mature level. So instead of listening to their kids, they just shove a binky in their mouths to shut them up. Akira, I really hope you are kidding….14 is not appropriate to be using a binky.

I never took his pacifier away, he's always had it and still does. He's had 3 pacifiers, he still keeps them as a memory from the past. When he turned 3 we restricted him from using it all the time. He was only allowed to use it during bed time or nap time and NEVER allowed to take it to school. He stopped using it in bed when he turned 14. When he turned 14 he put them in a box under his bed with all his other toys he wanted to keep for memories. Personally I find it cute. Its not like he uses it 24/7 that would ruin his teeth. In fact his teeth are in perfect condition, they are very well taken care of. You should never wean your baby off their pacifier completely. I mean everyone has their own little thing they keep VERY close to themselves as a child and up. Like their blanky or some baby toy or something. My mate has a glow-worm he's kept for years just for memory. But my son, who is now 19 years old, still has his paccys even a few other ones too, just for memories. But its never a bad thing to have them, its very cute. Just don't let your kid use it 24/7 When I was still raising my baby boy he had his pacifier all the time.

But, personally, I think over 12 months is too old. It is important for them to learn how to comfort themselves. My son is 5 mo. and gets it in public when crying or before a nap, but I am starting to let him cry for 5 min and then he falls asleep on his own. Soon he'll learn it's that time for sleep and go by himself. I would not tell another parent they are wrong-that is rude. But, personally, I think over 12 months is too old.

Ever: Pedipeds. by Elisabeth http://mom2mom.wordpress.com/2007/08/06/best-baby-shoes-ever-pedipeds/#comment-25 Elisabeth Thu, 06 Dec 2007 17:03:58 +0000 http://mom2mom.wordpress.com/2007/08/06/best-baby-shoes-ever-pedipeds/#comment-25 My son loves these. I tried all kinds of shoes for my little guy. He pulled every single pair off because he hated the feel. We put a pair of PediPeds on him at the store, and he didn't immediatly pull them off, so we bought three pairs. Pricey, but worth it, because now I don't have to worry about people always commenting on his bare feet. My son loves these. I tried all kinds of shoes for my little guy.
