Hello!
Few questions! Hope someone can relate and throw me some pointers
I have recently decided to wean the paci before he gets older. Do it nowwwww!
...but my question is, would it make sense to wean the swaddle first? Normally, I pat to help him doze off or caress his head, with the paci until the paci then does the work. My conflict here is, I don't want to hurt him in anyway by taking his soothing tool, kwim? I know I can help him calm down with patting from the crib as that's what we usually do anyway... And he'll eventually fall asleep, but I'm worried it's stressful to him or you know how sometimes taking away their security cold turkey can affect them? I believe on weaning slowly and I've read into Pantleys method and have always done that, yet months later still needs it to sleep. Should I wean swaddle first to allow him to grab or use something else? Or could I wean, and try my usually patting from the crib and later when I decide to ST, wean the patting etc?
Hope this makes sense
he's never woke a million times for it at nights, and he's gone long naps without it.. But lately it seems the need for it is getting stronger. So I just prefer, "the smaller the better" ...?
Thank you!
