My sister in law told me that for her second they cut them in front of him and had him throw them away, obviously he still missed them but he was forced to find a new comfort method after…

I’m thinking about explaining it to my daughter the best that I can next month and have her pick out a toy at the store and tell her that it’s going to replace her binkies because she’s a big girl. But there’s multiple ways you can get rid of them, you’ll just have to be patient and strict on not having them anymore… I wish you luck because I’ll be going through it soon😭 hope someone else gives you ideas too❤️

I honestly never thought we would see the day our daughter was obsessed, would even put them in between her toes and hold some to sleep as well as sucking on one.
We did it at Christmas and told her that Santa brings us new toys as we’ve been good and we have to put the dummies on the Christmas tree for Santa to take back to the workshop to make new ones for the babies that have been good
First week was hard without them but then we never heard about them after that
She was 3 years old when we did it x

We just went cold turkey and he ended up sucking his thumb every now and then, wishing you the best of luck tho 😅

I cut my daughters dummy when she wasn’t in her room then I acted shocked and told her I think she’s chewed it off because she has all her teeth now so that’s dangerous (I was very dramatic with it😂)
She cried but then she wanted to put the broken dummy in the bin then that was that, not had it or asked for it since

Absolutely cold turkey after his second birthday. However he was only having it for bedtime (he no longer napped) so I definitely think that made it easier. You could try to reduce to nap/bed first and then get rid after that

She’s 3 in October but she finds comfort in them when she hurts herself or is tired! I’ve told her the Easter bunny will take them and give her chocolate but she’s having none of it🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Poke a tiny hole in it and they will eventually think that it sucks and will stop. Say that you can’t buy anymore and that stores don’t sell them anymore or something. Just go with the flow.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
