I know Froggy has something precious already (I forget what, but you wrote a cute blog about it a while back), but do you suppose you could find something NEW to introduce at sleep times? Something special that's only for your 'very big girl' (not mentioning the pacifier), something that she knows is only for those times, and therefore it's a sort of treat?<BR/><BR/>No idea if this will work or not, but maybe it's worth a shot.

I would have plucked it out at 3, but we had just moved, and were doing a lot of traveling, and things were just too tumultuous.<BR/><BR/>Before we cut her off, because of her age and maturity, she had an understanding that she could only have it in the bed. She had gotten to the point where she would remove herself to her bed to have a little passy-time if she felt that she needed some comfort outside of bedtime. <BR/><BR/>Now that she's 11, she chews on the erasers of her pencils incessantly. Perhaps that's the effect of "allowing" her to keep her pacifiers for so long. I'm not sure it's such a bad thing. Irritating, sure. But horrible? I don't think so.Zuskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10209172715515087916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33629869.post-2544138056063756372008-04-29T15:23:00.000-07:002008-04-29T15:23:00.000-07:00Take this for what it is worth...and please no one...Take this for what it is worth...and please no one feel the need to flame me. :) My son still uses his binky for going to sleep. I see *nothing* wrong with this as I for one sucked my thumb until I was in my late teens. I know that sometimes you just *need* a little comfort. Some days I wish I could still get that kind of comfort. So...my two cents is let her have it. Limit it to the bed only. At night, once she is asleep, go in and pop it out. That's what I do, anyway.<BR/><BR/>Again, that's just me and I know many, many, many people disagree with me. I also know many who agree. :)<BR/><BR/>Whatever you decide - good luck!!!Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543461344197186456noreply@blogger.com
