Not sure if this should go in the toddler section.
My daughter is 18mo and I know I should have removed the soother a LONG TIME ago, but we moved to a different country and time just flew bye. And to be honest, soother didn´t used to be a problem until now.
Normally she only uses it at nap/sleep time but lately when I ask her to put it back in her crib she screams!! and wants it back ... this morning we had a 15 minute tantrum when I put it away.
I feel the soother is not only affecting her speech but she´s becoming a spooiled toddler (great eh?!)... she´s just so much better withouth it, she´s able to interact, whereas with the soother she seems to be in her own world.
I´m ready to go cold turkey but after the experience this morning I´m a bit scared.
I was thinking of the binky fairy (who takes it to other new babies), or even putting the soother in a balloon that flies out to new babies.... but do you guys think she will understand that?
Or should I put this powder they sell that gives a really sour taste so she doesn´t like it anymore ....
or should I just take it away and deal with it.... I don´t know. I guess I just need some words of advice of moms with toddlers.
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!!
