Adeline,
When you start with the weaning of pacifier, you have to endure. Not only you, but the ppl around Kim too. It's cruel but is easier to wean off before the toddlers turn 2. After age of 2, it is very difficult to wean.
Trial and error to see which is the most comfortable method for Kim. For a start, you can remove the pacifier after she falls asleep at night. Then slowly to the MIA pacifier.
For Jolene, we let her threw away her own pacifier, and when she asked for it, we asked if she threw away, she nodded her head and hence gotta accept the fact.
For Jaslyn, I didn't give her warning cos I was fedup with her biting for the pacifier. My mum kept buying new ones for her, and within days she bited off the sucking part. So, I was angry and I decided this "new" suckless pacifier was for her (see pic). She held to this suckless pacifier for the starting few days, before she decided this suckless pacifier had no use to her, and she threw away herself. She's already 3 weeks off pacifier and not a word was mentioned from her.
But if you decide to go for the hard method, let her scream/fuss whatever, then you have to be firmed. Endure to her nonsenses and it should be over in another few days time. No see no "giam", so pacifier must be out of sight from Kim. Good luck! Kim can do it!
Selina,
No wonder din hear from you recently.
Dun worry, who knows w/o planning, you may conceive w/o stress
Waiting for your good news ya!
Vivian,
Agreed! Out of sight out of mind!
I gotta admit, it's a breeze for me too, though for the 1st few nights, I had to wake up to comfort her and gave her milk.
Jaslyn now going for her next step on toilet training. Last week, she finally opened her golden mouth to tell us when she wannted to pee. But now, I bring her to toilet till I fedup!! **Argh** She insists me to bring and not daddy!! 气死我了! All "shit job" kena me!
Jasmine,
Wean off midnight feed is not something to worry. If Alvis wants it, just give him lor. Jaslyn or even Jolene will occasionally wake up asking for milk, I will give them.
Minor accidents sometimes are unavoidable, just gotta be more careful. Sometimes I also forgot to trim their fingernails =P
