Ending the Pacifier

• It really annoys me when I see kids that can talk clearly, and still suck on a pacifier.
  
• I guess the same could be said about nursing, but I feel nursing is natural. It still gives your child antibodies to fight off colds.
• I got rid of the pacifiers as soon as my kids started throwing them out of their crib. I saw it as a sign that they were done with them.
  
• The same goes with potty training. If a kid starts to wiggle and be difficult with getting their diaper changed, they are probably ready to start potty training.
  
• I don't go by an age with these things. I simply try to read my child's cues.
