I think Eva maybe having "withdrawals" from her binky as she has been extra cranky, but then again, that just maybe another Tantrauma...Which, while not as bad since the 4th of July weekend, still make our ears bleed and grind our teeth.
But, the big news is the Binkies Begone! Now, we next need to work on Eva's security blanket. Visions of Linus dance through my head.

How did she convince them to thrown them away???? Micah is soooo addicted to his; I can't imagine convincing him to give it up at this point.
We somehow managed to wean all the girls off of them at 4 or 5 months with very little fanfare. Sometimes I wish they still had them when they are cranky at night but I guess it's best. On the other hand, being in the midst of teething, I wish I had a special blanket to hide under!!!
You guys are just plain mean. But you're right to do this.
I still have a binky. I call him "Fred". m.
Can Aunty come to my house? I've tried to get Lila to give it up a few times but I cave every single time. Congrats to all of you on banishing the binky!
Please don't take your baby's security blanket away. These transition items are really important for a sense of security in a big, scary world. She will one day decide she doesn't need it - my son put his away in the linen cupboard when he was about six or so, and my other three kids have all parted from theirs at similar times (thought my daughter Ruby kept her lambskin and teddy in her bed till she was about 13 - she's now 18 and I think she sometimes sneaks the teddy in her bed! Ruby is a strong capable, high achieving young woman. Transition objects have 'super powers', they make our kids feel safe. Childhood is already so short, don't rush her through it. The fact that she can self-soothe with something as innocuous as a blanket is a great thing. Wishing you much love and luck on your parenting journey. Michelle x
