Hey mamas, I've weaned my 3 MO off the paci 100%. We are on day 4 today. He slept the best last night, from 7pm - 4am, nice big feed, back down till 7:20am. He was waking every hour last week for the paci and I couldn't take it anymore.

My question is, he still is quite inconsolable in the car seat. We went to a restaurant last night very close to our house and normally if you would start crying I would just give him the pacifier and rock the car seat and he would be pretty content but I didn't bring the pacifier with me and I ended up having to strap him into the carrier walking around the restaurant for a little bit until he fell asleep.

Do any of you moms have experience with removing the pacifier for better sleep but just using it maybe for public outings in order to keep them a little, with all that extra stimulation?
