Binkie Boot Camp

One of my new year's resolutions is to try to get Carlie off her binkie, or at least during the day. When Cohen was little, he also had one but as soon as he started getting teeth, he basically took himself off it. For him, we battled his bottle for along time. He got down to having it just before bed, but it sure was a challenge. With Carlie, as soon as she had her 1st birthday we just went cold turkey and moved onto a sippy cup. Although she was not near attached to it as her brother. Her thing, her "b".
This week we have let her have it at bedtime and nap time only. She asks, begs and cries throughout the day, but each day it has gotten a little better. I'm fine with her still having it to sleep but the goal is for her not to want/ have it during the rest of the time. So far, so good though. We will see how this week goes and hopefully even get her away from it all the time. Thanks Miss Kim for helping us during the day also with this. Next up, potty training!
