Two isn't an age where you HAVE to give up that binky but if you want him to for some reason then why not start with letting him just have the binky for naps and bedtime.
I am doing this with a three year old and it is easier to talk to her and prepare her ahead of time. Examples: Starting on next Wednesday you won't use the binky at all in the morning OK? We won't bring the Binky to gramma's anymore after this week end OK
She now only has it at night in bed.

attempt getting him a sparkling "secure practices" merchandise. Like a crammed toy or something. My son used to love his glow malicious application, took it everywhere. clarify to him that he's a good sized boy now and massive boys do not want binkys. Then only throw the binky in the garbage. Or have him throw it away. Then he gets his massive boy merchandise. It sounds terrible and that's frustrating to pay attention him so disillusioned, although that's going to basically final some nights and then it will be over. Be good, lol and sturdy success!!!!!!!

Some kids just need that extra security. You might try to ease his binky-ness with a blanket to love on instead. I actually heard of a mother insisting that the little boyz teddy ate his binky(she actually sewed the binky inside the belly) and you could actually feel it through the fur. The little boy was fine afterwards. Now I'm not saying try it, but you might have to be creative to get him to wean himself off of it. Or make a deal with him to play with certain toys if he give up the binky only while he plays with it. Get creative.

My daughter was a little older than 2.We had to start weening her bc of the daycare center she ws attending at the time.So I was also her 2yr old daycare teacher.At first I let her(and the other ones w/ same pacifier issues) hold onto it all day.Then a few days later I told it had to go into her lunch box and can only come out for naptime.So that worked for little bit but eventually I had to ween her from it w/ in a couple wks. So i rocked her or patted her to sleep.We made sure she had a comfort animal to sleep with.

Just give him his binky!! Its not going to harm him to have it at night. What makes it right for you to take away his comfort? If it was that big of a deal to you, you should have taken it away when he was too young to know the difference. Now that you didn't it is not right of you to deprive him of it now. Give it back to him, it won't hurt him!! Have you ever seen a kid in kindergarten with a binky? He will stop it when he is ready.

GIVE IT TO HIM. Sucking helps young children and infants relieve stress, much like taking a warm bath might help an adult. Research actually verifies that they release anti-stress hormones when sucking. If you give in to him, you are not a weak parent, you are nurturing his needs and helping him to feel safe. If you want to stop him using the pacifier, do it gradually. when he's not using it, store it out of sight. Is it really so important to do it today? when he is ready, he'll stop using it himself. when's the last time you saw a 14-yr old with a binky? Don't worry, he will outgrow it even without help from you. Good luck

My boy had a dummy all the time... and since he turn 2 and he knows what it means by throwing things in the bin means,
I told him to throw it in there... after that he did ask if he can get it back and I told him look inside the bin is dirty and he never ask again but cry the first night....
So you should do that to him, Don't think a two year old don't know what dirty means, he may cry for a day or two but do not give in. If you do is no point.

does he just have it for nap? if he doesn't cut it down to only nap time for a few weeks. and then just get rid of it totally. maybe instead of just setting him in his crib try rocking him. but after you have decided to take it away the real secret is to never give in! good luck!

we told my son that the little bunnies really needed some pacifiers and they couldn't go to the store. My son put his pacifiers in a basket on the front porch and in the morning the nice mommy bunny left him a stuffed bunny to thank him. He was a little grumpy at first, but it didn't take too long. Just make sure you rid the house, car and everywhere else you go of his pacifiers.
good luck!

My older sister had alsot of trouble getting her youngest to give up her pacifer. So when I was there with my at the time 4 month old daughter, she said you know your a big girl why dont you let Baby Claire have your pacie. And made a real big deal out of passing it one to the baby. It worked for her. Godd luck.
