My children just turned two (they are twins), and I would like to start trying to wean them off their security blankets. Our doctor is concerned about their thumb sucking, and they only suck their thumbs when they have these in hand. He would like to see them not sucking their thumb by the time they are three, so there is no rush right now, I'm just looking for ideas!
Does anyone have any ideas about how to best proceed with this. My daughter would probably be ok to cold-turkey take it away, but my son would not EVER go to sleep without it. In fact, if during the night he drops it on the floor, he will whimper until we go in and give it back to him.
Any ideas appreciated! (By the way, I want to save these so they can have them in the future, so no drastic ideas like cutting a piece off each week!)
