I have a friend who's daughter was still wanting it at 2.5 years. She read to cut the end off of all the pacifiers and they can't stand them....it took one day for her daughter to decide no more binky!!

No such thing as weening it from them. Just take it away and be done with it! 17 months is too old for a pacifier- yeah I know that won't go over very well but it's true!

Six months previous will be too youthful to get rid of the pacifier. that's been my journey that little ones like having some variety of convenience, be it thumb-sucking, bottles, nail-biting, pacifiers, blankets, nursing, particular toys, etc., and they're going to draw close onto that convenience until eventually age 3-5, or previous. in case you quite don't love the pacifier, you would attempt substituting a toy or small blanket (even as your toddler receives older). Bottles may reason cavities, until eventually they're only water. i doesn't push an option too complicated, although. you do not opt to finally end up with thumb-sucking or nail-biting once the pacifier is lengthy gone. strong success!

I teach two year olds at a daycare and have for a year and a half. A lot of parents seem to have this problem. some children come off the pacifier quite well while others get attatched. My most recent one, his mother and (I played along) picked an animal he loved, a monkey. His mom told him that the monkey needed the Pacy so she gave it to the monkey to use. He would always come into daycare and tell me, monkey has pacy!!! (and he was happy about it) he was about twenty months along at this point. Every child is different, but this is a suggestion.

Is it absolutely necessary to ween him/her? If so then simply remove it from sight. It will take some time. My sisters found their old pacifiers everywhere for a long time, so it took even longer. Good luck! and watch out for them to replace the paci with their thumb!

Out of my three children, only the youngest used the pacifer. When he was around 15 months old we made a big production out of finding all his pacifiers and throwing them in the garbage can together. Then we took it to the outside trash container and he threw the bag in. We said good-bye and then we went in and had a "celebration." (Juice and crackers) He never asked for it again.

Well my daughter was never on the pacifier so I really wouldn't know. But I do know that when my brother was a baby he was crying for it and my mom gave it to him and I remember my dad got mad and got the pacifier and through it out of the window. My brother just laughed and said "bye, bye" and he never asked for it again. So maybe you should try just getting rid of it in front of him/her.

What seems to work best for many kids is to tell them that the Pacifer Fairy is coming to take it away for the tiny babies but she'll leave behind a nice present. Make it a big game and get the child all excited by the idea of the Fairy. Together leave the pacifer on the doorstep or something one night then in the morning make sure there is a nice treat left behind for her/him.
If the child asks for the pacifer later, remind her that it's for the little babies now and s/he is big.

When my daughter was able to ask for it, I threw them away. I would give her a bottle/sippie cup of water or milk. Don't give juice because it to sweet to give on a regular basis (or everytime the child wants its pacifier). Also a teething ring helped just so that she could have something to chew on.

I tried so hard with my daughter and everything that I tried did not work. She was extremely smart and vocal for her age and she didn't miss a trick. I had to wait til she was 40 months old. I told her that we were having a bye-bye binky party. We made a cake and had the family over. We put all her binkies in a box and buried them in the backyard with a note, including her name and the date of giving up her binky. It was like a time capsule. After the burial, she didn't ask about it once!
