i have a 2 yrs old and 1 yr old they both sleep with me but they wake up every 2 -3 hrs cuz they dnt have their paci in their mouths :/ is there anyway i can get them to sleep faster and an easier way to get them off the paci?? they fight their sleep til sometimes 3 am than keep waking up after that.... which gets me tired and not able to wake up early... my oldest doesnt take naps anymore durning the day so idk why she stays up so late.. i am a stay at home mom but like to wake up early to get things done while they sleep but its like as soon as i leave the room they know and wake up.. my oldest has to have one part of her body always touching my at night to make sure im there and my youngest sleep almost on top of me... what can i do?? any ideas??? PLS need help
I took the pacifier away at 9 months when the first tooth came in. First thing in the morning when they get up.....throw the pacifier away, dont let them see you do it. Don't get tempted to keep the pacifiers just in case. You dont wanna give in . Sure they will be crabby and may not want to sleep with out it. When they ask for it...say "you are a big boy/girl and you don't need them" or just a simple " the pacifier is gone" After the first night it should get easier for them. I gave my daughter a small toy kitten to cuddle and she slept through the night. I know that was at 9 months but it should still work for you. They may lose the cuddle toy in the middle of the night but the toy is easier to find. Tell them they have to stay in bed at night. leave the bedroom door open until you are certain they are asleep and close it i that is better for you. I have a video monitor ...if my daughter 2yrs old. ...tries to get outta her toddler bed I say loud enough for her to hear...."Get back in that bed!" stern not yelling. She climbs back into bed sometimes she will try again but not often. Hope this helps. Good luck!!
Mine would rather fall asleep with a boob in his mouth so he doesn"t really use a paci. BUMP
Quoting babygomez:I'm sorry, I have no experience with this. My kids sleep in their own beds and pacifiers are taken away "cold turkey" around 12 months of age.
Here's a bump!
