I had a really hard time getting my daughter loose from her pacifier. Hell, she was almost out of pull-ups and STILL had it. Her dad was the source though. I'd throw them away, he'd buy more. Finally I just put hot sauce on em and she got the picture. I don't even want to go through that with this lil one, though. I don't want him (hopefully) to have one period. Did you go binkie-less with your first? How'd that go?
