Attitude change?

Has anyone gotten rid of the paci and noticed a HUGE change in your baby’s attitude and how he acts? We have been 1 week without the paci and he has been a lot more angrier and not as happy seeming as before. Not sure if it’s related to getting rid of the paci but it seemed to have started after we did that. Maybe it’s the terrible twos happening earlier. 😫 (he is 18 months)
