I took my dcb off his paci at 2. Never had one here at all.
They still gave it to him at home for another year
After the 1st week I didn't have any problems with him asking for it. The first week was tough, especially at nap, I won't lie. He was a stubborn kid and would cry almost all the way through nap the first day.
Each day got a little easier, by the end of the week he cried for 5 mins then was out like a light. He slept better too because he wasn''t looking for the thing if he woke.
