The Kraken had her thumb, which at least she couldn't lose in the bed, but we just now are getting her weaned off of that, because there was no way to take it away from her.Suburban Gorgonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11921120489357475543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18175767.post-47978142872911769672008-09-25T07:36:00.000-07:002008-09-25T07:36:00.000-07:00yes, charlie did the exact same thing. the pros -...yes, charlie did the exact same thing. the pros - he was easily weaned off the night nursing with the pacifier. all he really wanted to do was suck, and the pacifier was enough for him. the cons - he woke up at least two or three times a night because he couldn't find the bink. it would only take a second for me to get up, put it in his mouth, and go back to bed, but it was disrupted sleep nonetheless.<BR/><BR/>as for our theo, he sometimes needs it to get to sleep but i make sure that as soon as he is asleep, i slowly disengage it from his mouth and remove it from a place where he might roll over on it and he sleeps right through until it's time to nurse. don't know if this will work for sweet p at this point, though. <BR/><BR/>if you can live through the crying, i say go for withdrawal sooner than later. . . charlie still uses his bink in the bed. we've been waiting to complete the transition time as we introduced theo into our lives, but i think within the next month or so, it's gonna be cold turkey for him as well. <BR/><BR/>to sum - i really have a love/hate relationship with those damn plastic plugs. . .kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18184350461322076868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18175767.post-19025446808471771422008-09-25T06:40:00.000-07:002008-09-25T06:40:00.000-07:00I read this after having a particularly bad sleep ...I read this after having a particularly bad sleep myself. Yes. A good nights sleep. I never fully appreciated them when I had the opportunity.<BR/><BR/>Baby B enjoys a soother as well. I'm hoping she'll find her thumb like her sister though. And although everyone reminds me that you can't throw their thumb in the garbage I remind THEM that they can find their thumb when they need it.<BR/><BR/>I'll deal with the thumb sucking issue when I need to.Mama Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581319298585887199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18175767.post-7897058192033617702008-09-24T16:25:00.000-07:002008-09-24T16:25:00.000-07:00I'm 5 years past nursing and I still think a good ...I'm 5 years past nursing and I still think a good night's sleep is the Holy Grail...now if I can only explain to my 1st grader that gremlins don't live in the bathroom at night - and she can go by herself!Manhattan Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00198601798442559940noreply@blogger.com
