Off pacifier completely

I have been thinking how to stop Caden with his pacifier for a long time. He seemed so attached to it. But at about 18 months old or so, although he asked for it when he woke up, he could sometimes sleep without his pacifier at all.

I think, one of the reasons is because his doctor once told me that I shouldn’t change his pacifier size. Avent made a few different sizes of pacifier with bigger teats for older kids. Doctor said that when you didn’t change it, they will feel uncomfortable himself to suck the too small teats. Caden has been on the same newborn Avent pacifier all along.

So Suster tried to let him off pacifier once in a while and when she saw that Caden is actually refusing the pacifier a few times, she hide it and tried to make him sleep without it at all. This happen when Mommy was in USA.

So now, a month after, Caden is comfortable enough without his pacifier at all. All thanks to Suster.

I told him to throw away his pacifiers to mark his independence day.

Read here why I decided to give him a pacifier.

Thank you thank you!!! I am proud of myself too! hihi...

ne, sejak setaonan Caden gue juga biasain cuman nge-dot kalo mau bobo doang...dot dah gak pernah dibawa kemana mana, even kalo bobo di mall or di mobil, gak perlu pake dot anymore tapi kalo dirumah masih sering nyari...

untung bisa lepas juga akhirnya..gue pernah ngeliat ada anak dah 4 ato 5 taon masih nge-dot..duh jelek amat deh liatnya...di mall lagi!
