Following. Mine needs to get off the paci soon.

My 2 year took a whole month to get rid of the bottle. Massive fits and screaming for it up to 2 hours some days. Literally you just have to stay strong. It’s miserable. You could offer stuffed animals or soft blankets. Maybe go to build a bear and let her make one? You could always try the pacifier fairy method that people talk about on tic tok

@Katherine need to get rid of my toddlers bottle too.

Some toddlers find biting/chewing to be soothing. When we took my LO pacifier away I gave her a teether. She used it for a few weeks to initially fall asleep and connect cycles but now she doesn't use it at all.

@Kathryn Try switching your bottle out for a sippy cup. We did one bottle at a time per day till all bottles were from the sippy cup. My LO does best with 4oz of milk after every meal so that might help you too. We offer the last cup of milk before we start our bedtime routine. My LO was biting her pacifiers too so Everytime she would bite through one I would show her and say now it's broken and have her throw it away. After the last one got thrown away I replaced it with a teether because she was chewing on her finger 🥴 If your LO isn't chewing on it then you can try poking a hole in the tip or cutting a tiny bit off. They will usually get rid of it themselves cause the sucking action is gone. I know a lot of Moms who have had good success with that method.

@Sarah, thanks. We have the NUK bottles with the sippy cup nipples and that's what we use. Might have to try this in a week or so. Her Papa just passed unexpectedly, so I'm gonna wait a bit.

@Sarah oh this is a good idea mine likes to chew on her binkie while she falls asleep
