My son had his binky til he was three. We were so glad when he went to nursery school and gave it up.Nothing worse than steppin on and breaking the only one in the house at 10pm and having to get in the car and go buy a new one.
both my kids, as soon as the first tooth started “showing” the binky “went missing”. The hubby felt sorry 4 them but I wouldn’t give in to the crying or his “pleading” (whining). It lasted a few days but now in their 20’s and both have perfect straight teeth.
The oldest granddaughter had one for awhile. One day her mother and my wife were discussing taking it away from her while we were all shopping. I just asked the granddaughter if she would give it to me, and that I wouldn’t be giving it back. She handed it to me and never ask for another one. I think she was close to 1 at the time.
My mom just started cutting the tip of the pacifier down slowly until it was gone. I guess my sisters used the same tactic, neither of my kids used one.
First child: pacifier touches floor; into the sink, add soap, hot water, dry with clean paper towel. Second child: pacifier falls amidst dog hairs on carpet; wipe on shirttail, back in the mouth.
Because she drew them, and no doubt, embellished what her family said and did. It’s the artwork and storyline that is copyrighted. Just like “Little House on the Prairie” was based on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s life and the events of her friends and family happened; because she wrote them down and book company published them, they are also copyrighted. That means no one can use the material in any other fashion without the author’s permission. It protects the author’s rights to their body of work. Anyone who infringes on those rights can be prosecuted for theft. Teachers and other instructors may use small parts of an author’s work for educational purposes, but they can’t copy the whole thing and use it in class. If they wish to do that, they have to purchase a book for each child to use.

My little sister would let our dog suck on it, then back in her mouth. She survived!

My mom said they tried a pacifier with me, but I spat it out of the crib.

Tried pacifiers with both my kids. They both spat them out of the crib so they only tried them thrice: first, last and only time.
