How To Get Rid of The Bink?

 My husband is home with the kids today, while I’m at work at the radio station, and this is the fun picture he sent me. 

Evidently she needs safety glasses today to hang with Dad and brother, but really the bink?

Clair is cute as a bug, however this bink in her mouth ALL day thing has got to stop. She is fourteen months now, and we didn’t have this issue with our son.

I’m pretty sure she isn’t talking due to the bink in her mouth 24/7.

We need to be better about taking it away, but I swear she finds one under the couch or in a toy box when we do, gross right?

I’ve done some reading and this is what I’ve found from the Mayo Clinic site:

Depending on your child’s age, consider these techniques to wean your child from the pacifier:

• Younger infants. Swaddling, rocking, singing, playing soft music and infant massage can be effective alternatives to pacifier use.
• Older infants and toddlers. Activities, toys or other objects of affection, such as a blanket with satin edging, might help distract your child from his or her desire for the pacifier.
• Toddlers and older children. Consider holding a special ceremony to bury or otherwise discard the pacifier — or allow your child to trade in his or her pacifier for a special book or toy. Your child’s dentist might also be able to help your child stop using the pacifier by explaining the potential impact of prolonged pacifier use on his or her teeth.

Do any of you Mom’s out there have any suggestions or advice as to what’s worked for you?

I appreciate any feedback.
