When I took Landen's away he was getting his top teeth and I think it made him forget about it better.Irelan Family Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10008852649192862400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4717368833114451838.post-39737720393350322172008-08-30T09:48:00.000-07:002008-08-30T09:48:00.000-07:00My advice is this...if you are not ready and he is...My advice is this...if you are not ready and he is not ready, give it some time. Blaise and Violet both had them. I just took blaise's away and told him it was all gone. He was fine and not even a tear. Violet on the otherhand still wants something to help her sleep. I took it away over a year ago and she still has a hard time going to sleep. I even tried giving it back to her. She had no idea what is was by then and there was no hope. It is just their personalities. Good luck and if you go for it--know that we have all been there (sometimes it is harder for the mommies)! You may be surprised at how easy it is.mandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687631252495988021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4717368833114451838.post-15531970510534329282008-08-29T11:58:00.000-07:002008-08-29T11:58:00.000-07:00Thanks everyone!!!

Give him all the binkies and walk with him to the trash can and let him do the work~ Landon has actually thrown away 1 of them himself, but I've been telling him that if he loses the 2 he has now he's not getting anymore! Another thing that's making it difficult for us is GRAMMA! She likes to give them to him! Good luck! If you find something that works send the advice on over! heheAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4717368833114451838.post-51851375667481655482008-08-28T12:38:00.000-07:002008-08-28T12:38:00.000-07:00when I was little my mom told me she cut the end o...when I was little my mom told me she cut the end off all the binks and called them broken.

We had him throw them in a public trashcan and say good-bye. Then we took him to WalMart and told him to pick something that he wanted to sleep with instead of the binky. Binkies were for little boys and he was a BIG boy now. He picked a stuffed horse and it worked. He still sleeps with that horse and he's almost eight!Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04554314908015066118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4717368833114451838.post-57212456715303312662008-08-27T22:11:00.000-07:002008-08-27T22:11:00.000-07:00Landen was 18 or 19 months when we took the binky ...Landen was 18 or 19 months when we took the binky away. At first we started only having in at nap time, bed time, or when he got hurt. Then we went cold turkey and just stoped giving them to him. It has been a few months now and he doesn't ask for them. Before we did that I was going to try the attaching it to a balloon and telling him that we were sending them to the binkt fairy so she could give them to a new baby who need them thing I think I seen it in Parents Magazine.Irelan Family Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10008852649192862400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4717368833114451838.post-67855757894063839082008-08-27T09:02:00.000-07:002008-08-27T09:02:00.000-07:00My Jackson who is now 9 was a total binky baby.

So on Christmas eve we got a plate and collected all the binkys and said our last goodbyes and in the morning he has lots of presents and he never mentioned wanting a binky again. I know that Christmas is a ways off but maybe you could do the binky fairy, I saw it on supernanny?? Good luck :)The Cundick Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12172907546729048044noreply@blogger.com
