Um and they can smell it . And so that way it's like kind of like a transitional object . So you can use that .

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 .

So you can use that . But with a toddler , when you do remove it , you can either go go cold turkey . So it really just depends on the child or you can start to say it's only for sleeping .

Um Another one that I've done is to exchange it to with the like the UPS or fedex guy . Uh a lot of , you know , young kids really are obsessed with trucks and so like telling them , oh , I'm gonna give you my pacifiers and they , they delivered you a package , you know , that you can have . Um so it's kind of that exchange taking place .

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 .
