Back from our 2 week vacation in England, now it's time for Sofia to lose the binky once and for all!

Like her sister, she's 2 now, only uses it for naps and night sleeping, and it ends up outside her mouth most of the time anyway... Picking a toy and sewing it inside a foot or something this weekend! Wish me luck. tongue

Actually I thought someone on these boards gave me the idea a couple years back when we did it with Gabi.

What you do is have the little one pick a stuffed toy, then you can open up a foot or somewhere, place the soother inside, and then sew it all back shut again. Gabi loved it, was involved in the whole thing obviously. She could feel it was in there, which apparently gave her just enough comfort to not need to suck on it any more!! Really neat.

She asked to take it out the first few days, but understood when I explained to her that I couldn't take it out of there any more.

Don't know if it's that or the fact that we're finally home after our 2 weeks in England, but she's got some mommy-attachment issues now...

Either way we were in trouble, since we lost her only good soother that she liked. Tried her other soother for a week before it went into the stuffed animal, but already she was hating it, and napping.

Oh well!! We'll just march along, keep going and hopefully she gets over it, they don't even make her old soother any more!

They do get over their 'loss' eventually. tongue

I had mine post them to Santa so he would bring them something they really wanted. wink

Our method was simple, and the practice of it was only trying for a couple of days when both kids decided they wanted it back.

Step 1 - The morning before..."You're a big girl/boy! Tomorrow we don't use the binky anymore! Yay!"

Step 2 - No more binky (yes, I'm a 32 year old man calling it a binky).

Step 3 - Ugh, stop throwing yourself on the floor crying, please....big girl/boy, remember?

Step 4 - By day 3 they'd forgotten about them.
