When do you kind of think the right time is to take it away ? So pacifiers definitely help in terms of soothing the child , especially when their little babies under six months . But around six months , I like to really have a boundary there .
Um so it's kind of that exchange taking place . And so then the child has a better understanding of where their pacifiers are going and that makes sense that those are great tips . Yeah .
Right . I mean , toddlers with pacifiers , they just love their passes , they want it in their mouth at all times and it's really a struggle . So when do you know that it's going to be detrimental versus a positive move to actually take it away and , and have them learn to self soothe .
And then when they go to sleep , take the pacifier out of the ground just in case they dig it up and replace it with a plant that has bloomed and you plant the pacifier and they say that it just bloomed into this nice flower or , you know , some kind of , um , you know , tomato plant or whatever you want to actually have grow , you can even just put it in a pot and that way they can water it and take care of it and they really feel like their pacifier did something . So that's like the way of celebrating the getting rid of the pacifier . Yeah , that it's growing into something else .
We struggled . It was so difficult to take away the pacifier . So the question I have for you is if you have a child who has a pacifier and you see that they cannot function without it , right ?
