Re: binkes
We just cut down to bedtime and car rides if she wants it then. I guess at some point we'll have to get rid of it all together but for now it keeps her asleep and that matters more

Yes, I did that with my son and it worked and no cox socie . I dont think a 6 month old understands all gone.

I guess the earliar the better...meaning its probably easier to do it earliar. For the past few months we have only been giving it to Ava for naps and bedtime. I think I read a couple weeks back about someone cutting the tip of the nipple off of the pacifier and then the kid just rejected it on his own.

I did that but Sammy was over one and understood.

Not at all! Gabriella never had one and Gianni had one very limitedly until 4 months.

Re: binkes
I'm thinking the same thing too. I want Peyton to get rid of it soon. She'll be 6 months this month and I'm thinking it is time.
I personally think the binkie is more for me than her. I find that it calms her (or me  ) when she's restless.
Let me know how it goes with you.

Re: binkes
We were pretty much through with the binkie and then teething started. We gave it back to her to help her sleep and it worked. Now I will wait for a few more teeth to come in and then I will get rid of them, hopefully by 1 year.
