I haven’t mentioned this on the blog yet because I think I didn’t want to jinx it but…we are a paci-free household! Hooray! About 3 weeks ago when Maxwell was cutting his molars, I noticed that he wasn’t sucking on his pacifiers at all – just chewing on them. I knew we needed to get rid of them eventually so I thought I’d just take them off the Pacimals and see what happened. Well, I’ll tell you what happened…nothing! Maxwell just continued on like he never had them! I’ve still got a few pacifiers laying around in drawers but he hasn’t had one in several weeks! I don’t know if I was really thinking it would be hard to get rid of them but I never thought it would be this easy!
I will say – this is one more reason I think the Pacimals (here and here) are fantastic. We took off the paci but he still has his lovey. Perfect!
So, here’s to seeing no more paci-face…
and lots more silly faces like these!
ps – please check out the picture below. Maxwell was only 2 weeks old with the same paci as the picture above.
Oh my sweet baby. That paci was as big as his head!!
GJ says
Hurray – this may be the easiest I’ve ever heard! Go Maxwell!!!
Aunt Jen says
Go! Maxwell! Go! He’s getting far too big too quickly!
Nancy says
Wow, that’s amazing. I’m afraid Hank will go to college with his paci! Getting rid of the bottle was really easy for us, but we haven’t even tried the paci yet. I’m going to give him a few months with his baby sister around before trying to wean him. He’ll probably need the comfort during the big transition!
