This post is completely mom related! We are in the process of trying to get our son - who will be 2 in May off his "sucky". Right now he is doing amazing with not needing it in the car, it has been 5 DAYS and considering we commute every day - about a 35 - 45 minute drive into the city - I can't complain!
I know everyone has their opinion on when to try and get rid of the soother. Some mom's wait until they feel the child is ready to give it up, some say the soother fairy took it away and some just take it away plain turkey!
I am planning on having his soother gone by his 2nd birthday! My plan is to take it away for naps next once he is completely satisfied in the car - which as of right now let's be honest he still asks for it but at least he isn't crying when he asks for it and he understands when I tell him he doesn't get it in the car!
Life with toddlers is always changing day-by-day and I know when it comes to getting rid of the soother it will very day-by-day, depending on their mood, depending if they are teething and so on. As a mom you always want to make sure you are doing the right thing and getting rid of the soother before a certain age is sometimes important to certain moms and some don't overly care if their child has a soother for a longer period of time and that is COMPLETELY FINE! You are the mother and you choose how to raise YOUR CHILD.
I am curious what other moms have done or what is your opinion on this matter?
I always love hearing and getting advise from other moms! It really can help with your decision on how you approach things!
Until next time!!!
