I'm noticing my lo is starting to slowly build a deeper connection with his paci. I think it's affecting his night sleep. He cries when he wakes, when I give the paci, crying stops but then cries again when it falls out. I don't let him sleep with it, i take it out once he's really asleep.
Before it gets any worse, how did you wean off the paci if you did?

I weaned my girl off the paci at exactly 26 months of age. I cut the tip off and made a big deal about it. I said oooh look the ghost ate your paci! Looks like we will have to throw it away! Etc etc...she was so surprised. Within 2 days she was weaned completely! After about 10 months, her teeth also shifted back to normal.
I'd say if you're going to wean, do it now or around age 2. When they are a year old, then they don't really understand why etc..
At this age, If you really want to wean, then I'd just go cold turkey. They are too young to understand otherwise
