We cut my daughter off cold turkey. But we gathered all the pacis and put them in the mailbox for the “paci fairy” and checked the mailbox a few hours later and there was a new toy in there for her. 🥰 she was super excited about it. The first couple days were a little hard but honestly I don’t even remember her making a big deal about it. I think me and dad were more nervous about it than anything 😂 but it was fine.
I had to cut my son off cold turkey. I tried to only give it at nap and bedtime and it didn't work. So we went out of town to visit my parent's farm, I told him that the cows took it... Possibly cut the tip so he can no longer suck it. Or put something hot or spicy on it so it's nasty.
