Introducing a lovey to replace paci?
« on: January 30, 2012, 22:35:13 pm »
DD is 14.5 months and has a mild paci habit... it remains in her crib at all times and she uses it intermittently when sleeping...

She hasn't got a lovey and I was thinking of introducing one at the time that we ditch the paci... anyone done this successfully?

Hi Kara :)

DS already had his lovey when we ditched the dummy, so no real experince, but I would certainly suggest that having something else as a 'comfort' would be a great idea.

By the way, ditching the dummy went really well for us so hopefully it will be an easy transition for you too :)

We ditched the dummy cold turkey around this age (were away down south for a week and when came back just didn't give it to him - explained it would happen) - and after 1 bedtime (arrived home in time for bed) of needing me there, and bit of time with him at nap next day, that was that.  Didn't need a lovey or anything :)

Hey Hun, haven't weaned the paci, but if your LO particularly likes a soft toy or blankie you could start putting that in the cot with her. Z has always had a lovey and paci, just a month ago he took to this stuffed cow ::) it is now also in his cot with him...he chose this himself and loves it to bits since we let him have it in his cot. I guess what I am trying to say is it is certainly possible to introduce loveys at this age.but your LO may need to choose it herself with a bit of 'encouragement' from you. kwIm?

Gotcha!  She has a bit of a love for her stuffed dog... mostly cause she likes to "woof" at it ::)  Maybe I will encourage that one!  He is a good size for a lovey - not too big!
