Pacifier be gone, one quick trick, one day, no tears, gauranteed!

     When i first had my daughter the plan was "NO PACIFIER"!, even though my mother had bought a few of them, I had them out for display, but not to use.  Eventually she ended up with it, because i absolutely did not want her sucking her thumb, i felt it was an even trade. I still feel the same, you can take the pacifier, you cannot take the thumb.

  There is nothing worse then your infant, or now toddler waking up in the middle of the night because they have lost their pacifier, and then later for milk and so on, all night. I have dealt with this for 3 years and my frustration really began when i got pregnant with my son. I kept thinking i will never get sleep now, because my 15 month old was still waking up for what she called her " roro" aka pacifier. I was livid bending over looking under her crib eight months pregnant and so on. Of course i never showed her the aggravation, after all it was I who gave it to her.
 
  As she got older i noticed she wanted to keep it in her mouth all the time, my rule was after breakfast it went in the freezer, in a freezer bag. She would always grab a chair and get it out herself, even when i told her no. It is an addictive habit, and a very difficult one to break. Even through-out the day, if she lost it all HELL broke lose. I would scramble to find it, at times because the tears were just to much to deal, including the newborn tears.

  So eventually, I got the nerve to take it away cold turkey. After all i did not want her to be 3 with her "roro". I lasted about 2 days, that night I brought all of them out and gave them all to her. You should have seen her face light up. She started jumping with joy, told me i was the best mama ever. I felt terrible for taking her "roro" from her in the first place, after all, you wouldn't take a security blanket away from a baby would you, and that is what her pacifier is to her, a security item.

  I was desperate now, her birthday had passed, and now she was 3 with  her "roro", and at higher risk for her teeth messing up because of it.  I tried  soy sauce, bad tasting spices, nothing that was hot though that is never a good idea! Now she was 37mths, even worse with the pacifier, she still wanted it, everywhere we went, i didn't want people to see that i still let her have it i felt like i was a bad mom.

  I was putting some aloe on a burn I had, and I accidentally got some in my mouth.  Aloe is one of the worst things I have ever tasted in my life, its terrible!!!! and its so strong that even a little drop is enough to make you wanna wash your mouth out.  So there you have it ALOE is the trick i said to myself. There is no way she will want her precious "roro" if it has ALOE on it.
 
  Here's how you do it...
  First i would make sure that the aloe plant is an organic one, you can get some at whole foods.  

  Cut a piece off, id say and least two inches, and peel back the top layer.

    Cut the extra skin off, rinse the aloe.   Collect all of the pacifiers in the house, car, diaper bags, etc make  sure you get them all or the process will take longer then a day. After you have them all, take the aloe  piece you cut off and rub it generously all over the pacifiers, all of them.  Put the aloe in a freezer bag, to keep it    fresh and store it in the freezer, out of reach of children. When your child asks for their pacifier, give it to      them. Now is the time to act "dumb" when they take it right out, say whats wrong baby? They will expect     you to wash it, so get the aloe from the freezer, run warm water over a piece of the exposed area and rub      it all over again, and again, as many times they ask you. If they want another, give it to them, just make sure   its one you put aloe on already, the taste will stay as long as you don't really wash it.                                   

REPEAT     THE     PROCESS     ALL     DAY                               by bed time they will absolutely not want the pacifier at all!                                                         no tears, no yelling, no screaming, the decision becomes theirs. They don't want it,

because it taste bad...

They may ask for it a few following days, my daughter didn't, some children ARE different but this is the easiest way, to rid the dam thing from your life.   

If you want  to prepare your child before taking their pacifier, I have a great, and fun idea on how to do it, by a bit of story telling, and make believe. 

hope this helps.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

About myself

Hello, first i would like to say thank you for taking your time to look at my page...

 I am Evealushion; I come from a large family of eight, spanning 20 years from eldest to youngest which I am. I’m an only parent of 2 beautiful children, my daughter is three and my son is one.  I devote all my time to enriching their lives with a fun, and loving atmosphere. They are my universe. My heart has never felt such an incredibly amazing feeling of love, and sense of protection, its infectious, the love that emits from my soul. Everything else in my life has been and is inferior compared to the contentment and PRIDE they bestow upon me every day.

 Okay, okay i know u get it, i love my children, theirs’ so many other wonderful words to use to describe it though. 

I love design all aspects of it, it flows through my veins.

 I can remember drawing my first blueprint as if it were yesterday; i was in 6th grade, and my father sat next to me at the kitchen table, helping me measure out the spaces. A few months later following the New Year, there was an accident at work, he never came home. We were going to have family night at the movies, I was 12.

 I love rocks all different kinds, i don’t know what it is about them but i like to collect them. You can never, not ever find the same rock twice; maybe that’s why i love them so much. In sorts it’s like people, you will never find another you, and nor will there ever be another you, fascinating. We are all individually perfect with all of the flaws and blemishes we have.

I strive to make every day better than the previous one...and in the cases when i feel down and just don’t want to face another day, as an only parent in all its trials and tribulations, i still get out of bed, draw the curtains, make the beds, and find something extra fun to do that day, even if it’s going for a walk with chalk in hand to draw the same flower after flower on the asphalt. Simple is fun, and it offers plenty of giggles to cheer those lonely thought out of my head.

                The important aspect in life is to not count your blessing by things u own or things u don’t have, but to embrace what u do have, and to realize at the end of the day the material matter we surround ourselves with doesn’t really matter, it’s the people we surround ourselves with! Though sometimes we can’t always decide who is going to be in the circle of our lives...    :)

As far as GOD goes, I believe there is a superior being, my daughter says “God is a girl and a boy because there are both here on earth”, again she is 3, very insightful.
