Confessions of a Paciholic

We were both addicted… I loved having an easy fix to a fussy baby and a sure fire way to get her to sleep and she just plain loved it… and then two weeks ago happened. She started habitually waking up at 2:19am on.the.dot…. and out popped the paci, which started the frantic search, which lead to the freaking out, which prompted the crying, which woke up the mommy, who put the pacifier back in... and this cycle repeated for 2 hours, for almost a week.

So, on Sunday night during one of these cycles in the early evening I decided to call it quits… cold turkey… good bye pacifier. And guess what? We’ve have the best two nights of sleep in three months!!!! She’s finally finding her hand/thumb (one arm out of the swaddle).

Self-soothing for the win! J

Adios cute wubanub at night time… you might still be useful to us at church or the gym nursery as a soother for sweet K, but your services at night are done!

Thanks for the reminder sweet Khloe, that sometimes mama has got to get out of the way and let you/help you discover new things on your own. 

Love,

Mama Vog
