The dummy helps the kid to calm down and to fall asleep quickly. But long sucking can cause violation of a bite, a delay of speech development and the need for it decreases over time, turning enthusiasm for a pacifier into bad habit. Parting with a dummy at many kids takes place hardly and if in the afternoon the child still can switch to more interesting classes, then for the period of falling asleep he demands a dummy more and more persistently.
Instruction
1. If all of you decided to separate the child from a favourite dummy, it is not necessary to recede. Having given in on complaints of the kid, you at a distant day will be able to repeat attempt. Pasting of a pacifier bitter substances – a stress for the child, is better not to resort to such method. It is simple to select a dummy and not to show it any more - a task for strong nerves. Try to pick up less painful options, but be ready that process will be hard.
2. Begin with a daytime sleep. Just do not give to the child a pacifier until he asks – perhaps, he also will forget about it. Stroke the baby if he worries, sing to him songs, rock to sleep on hands. When he weans to demand a pacifier in the afternoon, it is possible to start breaking from sucking at night.
3. Try to replace a pacifier with a toy. Distract the child the fairy tale, lullabies. The grown-up kid can be disaccustomed by means of beliefs that he already rather big and can do without dummy. Solemnly "present" a pacifier to a doggie or to other child is younger than yours. It is impossible to shame and deride – you do not do to the child of a psychological injury. Inventive mothers suggest to dig together a pacifier in a flowerpot and to daily water it, telling that the tree covered with nipples will grow soon. Only you watch that your child did not dig out it independently. Respond to requirements of a pacifier that it sprouts in the earth – until the tree "grows", the need for sucking gradually will begin to die away. It is possible also to try to cut off a dummy gradually – it will be inconvenient to child to suck it, and he will refuse it through some time. Only you watch that he did not bite off from it pieces and did not choke on them.
4. If during breaking the kid got sick, the nipple can be returned – the stress can aggravate a disease state. Besides, it happens that breaking does not yield result more than 2-3 weeks – the child is capricious, cries, sleeps badly. In this case the dummy should be returned for a while too – all children different, and it is possible, yours was not ready to parting.
