We always take the Binkie away from the kids at 6 months…during the day, and then 12 months at night. Of course going along with the youngest child, Brecken's has got pushed back. We moved into my parents house when he turned one, and I didn't want them to have to deal with a crying baby at night and naps, so I held off tell we moved. Well, we moved in December and Brecken has been sick 2 out of the 3 weeks we have been here. So, I waited tell this last week to get rid of the binkie, but lets be honest, it was just excuses for me to enjoy a good nice rest, and nap time. I was not looking forward to doing this. Friday night I had Dean, with Brecken's help cut his Binkie nipple off. I then let him carry them around the house and hold them the rest of the night. He learned that when he put it in his mouth it would fall out, so he went and threw them in the garbage. I think that helped a lot, because he realized they were broken and wouldn't work anymore. He waved goodbye to me when I put him in bed, and went to bed so well. The next day I reminded him about the binkie's and let him hold them again so he remembered they wouldn't work and he took his nap great. So, so far so good. Let's hope it keeps up, and that he won't get sick anytime soon.
