It's not hard to help your baby quit the pacifier, these tips are quick to take a small book and write it down!
Stopping a pacifier requires the same process as weaning, and after understanding the "optimal withdrawal period", it is also necessary to master the correct methods so that it can be smooth and not harmful to the baby.
1) Find out the "real role" of the pacifier
It is basic to quit the pacifier smoothly and not let the baby become overly dependent. If your baby is under 6 months old, it's a great time.
First of all, we must clarify a truth, the pacifier is to help the baby ease the mood, not for the adult to save trouble, so parents do not develop the baby's habit of plugging the pacifier when crying, many times the baby's bad habits are promoted by the parents.
2) Not generating an excessive sense of dependence is the foundation
Sugar moms recommend that you give the nipple to the baby at the interval between feeding or feeding twice to ensure that the baby is not hungry. In addition, if the baby sleeps with a pacifier and the nipple falls out but he does not cry, he does not have to put the pacifier back.
If your baby's need for a pacifier is not very strong, then teething will begin after 4 months and you can also switch to teething gel for him. The purpose of this is to reduce the baby's excessive dependence during the use of pacifiers, and it is easier to quit in the future.
3) Let your baby choose how and when to quit
If, unfortunately, your baby has been using a pacifier until after the age of 2, then the rough way of forcibly taking away or smearing bitter melon juice is not advisable. At this time, you can learn a little from Chen Yihan's way, make an appointment with the baby, and quit the pacifier in a way that the baby can accept.
Note that before the time to quit the pacifier comes, it is necessary to gradually reduce the number of uses, so that the baby has the process of adaptation in his heart. Before quitting, take your child to pick a toy he likes very much to distract himself, and the process of quitting the pacifier will be much smoother.
Candy Mom has something to say:
Every step of the baby's growth will be rewarded, of course, but also to give up some things, this is the real growth.
