I've decided that when it comes to pacifiers, potty training, "healthy" diets, etc, I can't worry more about it than the parents do. I'm not going to waste my energy to stress over things if they don't.
I have one that I keep here for her and it's in a drawer in the naproom. Out of sight, out of mind. I had one mom before that her son would bite the tips off of his. When he started doing that, I said no more here at all. I am not having him choke. She was mad and let him have it at home. I thought she was nuts
