Soothie dilemma
posted on 09/16/2007
OK, here's the situation: Allana still uses her soothie at naptime and bedtime. She never gets it unless she's in her bed. She doesn't even use it the whole time. She puts it in her mouth to fall asleep, and spits it out when she's good and asleep. If she wakes up in the middle of the night, she'll find one and put it in her mouth until she falls back asleep. Her pediatrician said that we needed to get rid of it ASAP, and her pediatric dentist said the sooner, the better.
Any suggestions about how to take a soothie away? Any parents who have been there, done that and want to share ideas?
We're thinking that we'll wait until Thanksgiving break and take it away cold turkey then. That way we won't have to get up early in the mornings if we're up all night.
Vote on the poll and let us know what you really think...we can't tell who votes what, so be honest! And leave us a message in the guestbook or send us an e-mail if you have any ideas for us.
