Pacifier Clips



We just added the cutest pacifier clips to our e-store! Please check out our new selection of pacifier clips and let us know what you think!

While we're on the subject of pacifiers, I'd like to share my tip for weaning your child off the pacifier when he or she is ready:
Both of my boys were obsessed with their "na-na's." If the pacifier was'nt in their mouths, they were sure to be holding one in their hands. The worst part is, is that they would lose their pacifiers at night. And, me being the sucker mommy that I am, I would get up every night to get them a new pacifier. Some nights, I would get up 2-3 times! In January, I decided it was time to get rid of the pacifiers. Not only was I tired of getting up every night, but I was afraid of what the doctor would say if we went in for their 2 year check-up and they still had their pacifiers. Long story short, we decided to quit cold turkey. At the suggestion of a friend, we had our ceremonial binky burial at teddy crafters (similar to build-a- bear). We took the boys in, let them pick out a bear to stuff and gave them a couple last sucks. When we went to stuff our teddy bears, we had the boys' put their pacifiers inside the bears before they were sown up. After that, whenever they would ask for their pacifiers, we would give them the teddy bears instead. It was definately tough the first couple of days, but I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised at how much easier it was than I had initally thought. And now, the boys have been "sober" for 3 months!
