Angelica @ 4 months & 1 day.

=)



DAY 1.
[16.03.12]


Hubby decided it was time to wean Angel off her pacifier.

Tossed and turned.

Screamed and wailed.

Cried and whined.

ALMOST THE ENTIRE NIGHT!

*sighs*

(As anticipated anyway..)



DAY 2.

I googled about weaning off pacifiers.

And one article said about cutting off the teat of the pacifier.

Told hubby about it.

So hubby took Angel's old pacifier and cut the teat infront of her.

And Angel was watching it being cut with a wide-eyed-what-the-heck-are-you-doing expression.



Then we passed the cut up pacifier to her and she looked at it in bewilderment.

Before (very surprisingly) throwing it to me.

Then I gave it back to her and asked her to throw it in the dustbin.

AND SHE REALLY DID!

Without hesitation!



But in the end she still cried for it at night.
ZZZZZzzzz...



DAY 3, 4 & 5.

Same as days 1 & 2.

So very sleep deprived!

(Zombie mode the entire days.)


But much improvement, as she only cried once or twice instead of every so often.



DAY 6.
[21.03.11]

She finally fell asleep at night and didn't wake up once to ask for it.

And have not asked for it since then.

=)




One note of advise if you're planning to wean your child off pacifiers:

PATIENCE AND PERSERVERANCE!

=)

Good luck!
