As soon as you feel comfortable doing it. The sooner the better but make sure there is nothing "new" and "stressful" going on in her life when you take this step. Also, be prepared for a BIG fit if she's used to going to sleep with it. My advice is just to stick with it and don't give in once you've decided to take them away. It will seem like it's alot easier just to "shut her up" by giving it back to her but it just makes it harder the next time. Maybe you could try it at Christmas time - gather all her binkies and put them on a plate for "Santa". Tell her he is going to give her big girl things instead. Good Luck!

My son's orthodontist said that a baby having a binkie after the age of two is not good because of the damage it can do to their teeth. Taking it away is a decision only you can make, however I think 2 is a good age...but definitely not past 3. I wish you luck! If you do decide to take binkie away, try to do it at a time that is uneventful and not stressful in your baby's life.

Now is a good time. Start by cutting a tiny hole to break the suction. Don't let her see you do it. Leave it like that for a week and wash it frequently. Gradually make the whole bigger each week until eventually you can cut the nipple right off. Do this for a month. It is a slow weaning process that worked with our girl. I think past 2 years old, it might affect their permanent teeth especially if she has it throughout the day.

My daughter replace into weaned off her binkie at 12 months,I in basic terms gave it to her while it replace into nap time and bedtime,throughout the day she had to earnings to self soothe young ones could learn that and now she is eighteen mon and does not have a binkie.i think of it took me 2 weeks to wean her off. Whenshe might get disillusioned and desire the binkie, while it replace into no longer bedtime then i might basically distract her.sturdy success.

You should make her give it away now. It's not good for her teeth. You should of course do it gently and slowly. Start off by only letting her have it for bed and in the car and then cut it back to just bed and then take it totally away.

My little cousin had one for a long time. She had a hard time getting rid of it because it was her comfort thing. What I say you should do is only give it to her at night. Then after a couple of weeks take it away from her.
Dont let her have it all the time anymore.
Or if you think its better let her have it for a little while longer. She isnt even in pre-school yet.
You have time.

Right now. I wish I had taken my daughter's away much sooner than we did, it has affected her speech. We cut it down to only sleep times at about 2 1/2, and took it away completely on her fourth birthday. I wish I had cut it to only sleep time at one year, and taken it away completely by two.
