Turned out, I didn't need braces later, either. I'm not that messed up as a person, either. ;)*https://www.blogger.com/profile/06484208765656281917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368950140329799225.post-15748125402355908952010-07-26T20:03:51.403-06:002010-07-26T20:03:51.403-06:00My oldest who took a binky till he was 3.5yo was m...My oldest who took a binky till he was 3.5yo was much easier to get back to sleep at night than my youngest who refused the binky and instead insists on drinking milk to get back to sleep at 3.5yo (and still going strong). So, based on my two kids alone, I much prefer the binky!Nemmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850829659556753929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368950140329799225.post-64448611405436329002010-07-26T09:28:08.842-06:002010-07-26T09:28:08.842-06:00You have to do what works for you!

But she would have nothing to do with it.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14309279105003884685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368950140329799225.post-27972422777374728942010-07-25T22:37:44.106-06:002010-07-25T22:37:44.106-06:00(oh and I say from what I hear because none of my ...(oh and I say from what I hear because none of my children have ever taken a binky, no matter how hard we tried to push it, so I don't actually know if it's any easier)JennaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10724959154514125980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368950140329799225.post-54902493466138841492010-07-25T22:37:07.442-06:002010-07-25T22:37:07.442-06:00From what I hear, it's easier to take away the...From what I hear, it's easier to take away the binky than something else they suck on, say, a thumb. My 2nd child was about 2 when he started sucking on his forefinger and rubbing his neck with his other hand at the same time (and I swear he did it just to make us mad because he heard us talking about how our kids didn't have habits like that the day before). He is now almost six and I still have to tell him to stop at least 3 times a day. The dentist says it's ruining his teeth, but there's not a lot I can do. Wait for kindergarten and all the social pressure (okay, the teasing and name-calling and therefore hurt feelings of my sweet, sensitive boy) and maybe he'll stop then?JennaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10724959154514125980noreply@blogger.com
