The pacifier has been our family's friend. Unfortunately, our pediatrician is telling us it is time to say goodbye (well, by his second birthday is to be our goal).
At fifteen months, we started only letting Davis have his pacifier at nap times and long car rides. We were doing great, but getting 6 teeth in at once and the dreaded stomach bug, we did some major regressing over the past three weeks, however understandable it may have been.
Jared is always the one of the two of us to "try" new things with Davis. He has been the one to have the guts to just try the all important milestones and transitions. And he's not letting me down now! Jared is off all this week and we have nothing on the agenda other than lots of home time (and a garage sale). So, Jared decided this is the week for Project Pacifier Purge! He's right, it will be easier with him around all week to help me distract him.
Honestly, Davis will probably do better than me. It's just so much easier in the car or at naptimes (although he has never slept with it at night) to give him his pacifier.
Here's to Project Pacifier Purge going smoothly!!! Fingers crossed!

Good luck! It should be lots easier for you since he doesn't use it at night. What a blessing! We only use the paci at night and for naps, but we aren't ready to say goodbye to our paci. Not even close :)
