How should I get my child to stop using me as a pacifier at night to self soothe

Try the Evenflo cylindrical pacifiers.. my son went without a pacifier for a while but started over eating bc he was using me as a pacifier. That’s the only pacifier he would take. I know the Evenflo brand is supposed to be similar to an actual nipple

My 5 month old struggles with this. He refused a paci for a long time, it wasn’t until 2.5 ish months I got him to start using “the Pacii”. It’s the only one he likes. Sometimes he fights for the boob and I just keep trying to give him the pacifier. It’s my understanding that around 6 months is a good time to transition away from using a pacifier and use teethers only. May be better to just transition that way instead but up to you! I know it’s tough

@Taylor I don’t want her to have pacis all day, usually throughout the day she’s biting and playing with her teethers and only eats if she’s hungry but at night it’s so tough, I wanna transition her into her own bed cause girly is becoming a wild sleeper and wants to lay up under me which leaves me at the edge but I feel like with her self soothing the way she is she’s just gonna end up back in my bed

Ah gotcha! Yes probably a good time to transition to her own bed. I imagine it gets harder as they get older too

6 months is a huge transitional time. She probably is just needing some extra support. My girl is 7 months now and it’s kind of just something that happens in waves and we will have a night here or there where she wants to be on the boob all night and others that she sleeps all the way through. You’re totally rocking it! Hang in there!
