Breakthrough

We have had a few changes in our house the past couple of weeks. Camdyn's fist tooth broke through and with it came runny nose, a little fever, lots of tylenol and tons of crying. I also have cut her off completely from nursing (not that any of you care, but it is a bit of a milestone for us). I think she has cried for two days straight. Nap time and bed time are the worst. But this is where the breakthrough comes in, tonight she went to sleep with minimal tears and no nursing! YAY for me!
Another new thing, she suddenly wants a binki! what the...? I could never get her to take one when she was a little baby and now she likes, and it helps her fall asleep. So my question is for all of you experienced mothers who read this, should I put the kibosh on that too, because won't I just be going through this same thing in a few months trying to break her of that? Let me know what you think.

That makes me sad that she doesn't get ninners anymore. Poor little girl! She probably wants to suck, seems like someone else I knew sucked her thumb for quite a while, way past 11 months.:)
I liked the update but let's get honest, I NEED PICTURES!

I didn't take Kaja's pacifier away until she was 2 years. Even then, I would just let her have it at nap time and bed time, not during the day. Then I just weaned her of it.

Ok, not a good question to ask your big sister. Mary-Kate still needs her binki to go to bed at night. That is the only time she gets it. She is almost 3. So, I say let her have it. Mary-Kates teeth are very straight and if it helps her sleep let her have it.

Girl-if she likes the binky give it to her. Addie was over two when I got rid of hers and it was really no big deal. I say if it helps you and her than do it! You are a great Mom and I am sure you will make the right decision!
