Summary
In this video, Natasha from Dr. Organic Mommy provides tips on how to get rid of pacifiers. She suggests introducing boundaries around six months of age, allowing pacifiers only during sleep or car rides. For toddlers, she recommends introducing a lovey as a transitional object. When removing the pacifier, she suggests gradual methods such as limiting its use to sleeping or using creative methods like burying the pacifier and replacing it with a planted flower or exchanging it with a delivery person. Consistency and follow-through are emphasized throughout the process. Natasha acknowledges that there may be restless nights and tantrums during the transition period, but assures that it will pay off in the future. Setting boundaries is important for the child's security and trust. It is recommended for parents to be prepared for the challenges and seek support.
