Since this blog serves as a baby book/record for P&F, I thought I should mark a big milestone: As of 19 months, we are officially pacifier free. For the past few months, they'd only had their pacifiers at home during naps and bedtime, and occasionally in the car. But, our pediatrician and dentist recommended getting rid of them to help with speech, drooling, etc. I was nervous about it, but I'm happy to say that it went much better than expected.
We simply snipped the ends of their paci's for a few nights, rendering them somewhat useless. After a few nights, P&F easily forgot about them at bedtime and during their naps. The only downside to this is that Fletch is waking up earlier in the AM, but this could be due to an overall sleep regression, and not just because of the pacifiers.
So, my little babies are becoming big kids. Another milestone conquered.
