lets spill the beans on this one! both dd's never took a pacyfier and treated me as one (one still does), but I don't mind it. I actually enjoy it. :() Neither one has a problem going to sleep if I'm not around. I think the security of having me on demand early on allowes them to let go at their own paste, and they let go when they're ready. Well, one did at 26 months, the second one is almost 2 y and still going strong. Ds took pacy, but spit it out at 9 mnths. He switched to bottles 4 comfort & now it's costing us a fortune in dentist's bills. PS B4 I get Posted Image, just want to type that I agree that all kids & moms are different and what works for some, doesn't work 4 others. :hi |

Tev didn't until he weaned. Than he started stealing them and demanding. Zu used me as one until the ped told me to stop listening to all the people who told me it would kill my supply. The kid had to be on me 24/7 cause he never was happy until sucking. He still has a very strong sucking need. His teeth are fine we have been told and not to worry about it cause its only at bedtime for like 5 mins and nap time for five mins. The ped told me to stop worrying about it and he won't get married wih it. Each kid is different. The second Zu finally gives it up Tev will absolutely throw his out. Tev only wants cause Zu has. |

For me nursing was never a nice bonding experience that it is for some people. The first few months - my baby had reflux and colic and he cried all the time while nursing, and after nursing. It was truly a torture for both of us. I took me an hour or so to calm him down after nursing him. It got better only after 6 months, but at that time my milk supply started to decrease and completely disappeared by 10 months. |

With my daughter she both nursed and took a pacifier until she was 10.5 months old. Then she bit me one time, I said "NO" loudly, which scared her and she never nursed again. She gave up the pacifier a week or so later. She is Bli Ayin Hara a great sleeper, goes to sleep on her own with no problems and sleeps 12 straight hours. (she is 4.5) With my son, who is 9 months, he never took a pacifier, so I am one. I still nurse him pretty much every hour. He nurses for 5 minutes at a time now, though....I would be thrilled if he would start using a pacifier now, if it would mean he would sleep a bit better. He has very severe reflux and is on prevacid for it...next kid IY"H I will try very hard to make sure they take a paci! |

There are times when DS needs me like a paci, and there are times when he's fine. After much debate, my DH and gave DS a paci at around 5 weeks. He never got "into" it much, and by 7 months we took it away. (he wasn't attached to it, so I didn't want him to become dependant on it then!). When he's teething and fussy, nursing is the only thing that will calm him down. I don't mind. During the day, DS nurses only a few times (too busy playing!), so nights he tends to be a gourmet and really wants to nurse. Yes, sometimes it gets annoying, but at the same time, there's something wonderful about knowing that you have the tools (breasts) to comfort your child. Our DH's can't do the same (even when they try). |

and sometimes its just totally and completely emotionally exhausting. Being the only thing to calm your child. |
