Pacifier weaning

Any tips or tricks for pacifier weaning? We tried the Frida baby weaning system a few months ago but the first pacifier is not like the one he has so he wouldn't take it.

cut a small hole in it. So when they suck it don’t feel the same

Ugh, I'm with you. Let me know when you figure it out. Mine still loves it still.

I just took mine off the bottle. He’s been off like 3 weeks and he’s doing fine. After the first few nights he was ok

We cut the paci off cold turkey. We “lost” it one day and never gave it back to him. That was about 6-8 months ago. He found it one day last week and I told him no icky and he threw it away 😂

We basically just said goodbye to it. She never had one as a newborn and it was a habit she picked up at the end of last year from watching Boss Baby lol. I told her we would be saying bye bye to the paci, she had a pack of three and we threw them away one by one. The last one, I said bye to it and let her say bye bye to it and then let her throw it out. It’s been a couple months and she only has mentioned it maybe 2x

@Kylie was sleep hard at first? We have tried in the past and he basically refused to sleep. Woke up every hour for weeks after having to sit in his room for a while to get him to go to sleep in the first place. My husband ended up insisting we give it back so I feel like in that reguard we set our selves up for failure and now it's going to be more difficult

It took us 5 tries and 11 million tantrums but eventually we got there.

Once she began biting them, that was the sign that it was time to get rid of them. So this was around 26/27 months.

The first 2 weeks I tried it, no one got any sleep.

Then on the 3rd week I tried again. I said it was time to put binky away and she pouted a bit and was upset but no tantrum. No meltdown. No screaming the house down. Nothing. And we’ve been good ever since.

I was actually pretty shocked 😅😂. I thought we were going to be on the binky until 3/3.5 but it happened sooner which was a welcomed surprise. Toddlers can surprise you ☺️

the first 2ish nights were hard with him. But he didn’t really ask for it. I feel like he was ready to be done with it. He was attached to it but not a lot. He didn’t refuse to sleep tho. I laid with him to get him to sleep but that was about it.

Find a baby for him to "give" it to. When he asks for it, remind him that he gave it to the baby since he's a big boy now and the baby needed it.

Just take it lol don’t mean to sound harsh. But I took it one day and she cried for a few days and got over it.

this worked great for us! Small hole at the tip so they lose suction and just gnaw on it for a while until they become disinterested. It took us about 2 weeks until nap time became smoother and a couple of tantrums but it worked great!

We started by telling her paci is only for sleeping, did that for a couple of weeks then started cutting holes in them one by one and throwing them away. Probably best not to give them the same paci with hole in it bc they’re hard to clean!

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
