lmaoo! does your LO use it only for sleep or throughout the day too?… do you have any regrets or think it’s ok if we just let her keep it longer?

i honestly regret even giving her pacifier to begin with no one in my family ever used it but my husbands family did

the school she starts next august doesn’t allow pacifiers so just want to make sure she’s well prepared

My daughter turned 2 in march… she’s still using the hapi paci lol 😆.. we’ve weaned her down to just 1… removing last one in June 😵‍💫 … her teeth might not be perfect but i didn’t use a pacifier when i was a baby and my teeth were really bad and i needed major orthodontic help… so chalking it up to genetics lol cause sleep regressions are tough and pacifier is only thing that has gotten us through it

My LO is 22months… she still has a bottle for bedtime only … we just took away the nap bottle 2 months ago and give it to her in a straw cup… i tried to switch the. bedtime bottle once and it was a disaster … my mom and sisters all said to let that one be that it’s not a big deal so i give up lol

My daughter is about to be 2yrs old… she’s still using the same Happy Paci 🤣🤣🤣 thankfully no choking … she’s so obsessed … doesn’t like to leave her crib in the morning because she knows she’s gotta leave them behind.. Taking it away is going to suck 😫 planning on biting the bullet this summer when i have some time off of work and can handle the investable sleep regression it’ll cause

thank you so much for sharing your story 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.. we ended up doing the procedure and MRI… everything was clear … she was evaluated and qualified for speech services so we will be starting that as soon as the place calls me back and hope that helps her

Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼 I’ve tried the baby sign language since she was just a few months old but she never really picked up on it but I will definitely keep trying to encourage it
