Pacifirer?

y do people give pacifires to kids that r like 3 n 4 years old? that is rediculous!! my mother gave me a pacifire till i was 2 years old and now i have buck teeth because of it. i saw a lil girl in the store a few days ago n she had to have been atleast 5-6 n she had a pacifire stuck in her mouth. it can be so easily prevented. ofcourse when they r babies its a good way of comfort but after about 6-8 months its time to stop. y would u need to give a pacifire to a toddler? better yet a kid 5 years old!!

Pacifirer?
First, learn to spell before you decide to say something bad about someone else. Second, have a kid and then find out just how hard they are to take away. When you give something to a baby, as a comfort thing, you can't expect just to be able to take it away. Kids will do it when they are ready. If you have buck teeth, you might have had them without ever having a pacifier. My oldest son had a pacifier until he was 4 and has no sign of it now. My middle child had his until he was 3 and no sign of it now. My youngest didn't take a pacifier.





I am a good mom. I am a good mom that picks her battles. I can tell you I see a lot of misbehaved children without pacifiers. If your indication of a good mom is taking a pacifier away then good luck. My children are well behaved and when we went to a new dentist, he couldn't tell my kids had pacifiers. So, if my child isn't misbehaving and causing trouble in the world then mind your business.





Also, if you could read you would see that my kids no longer have the pacifiers. I even had one child without one. I am not a die hard pacifier person but I also don't get offended when someone else's child has one.





I can tell you what makes me sick, is when I see a 16 year having a baby. On top of that, getting married and months later deciding she wants to be with a different man. On top of that, doesn't have enough money do get a divorce and wants an easy way out. Tell me, what part of that has displays a good mom?
Reply:I totally agree. Both of my kids have never taken to having a pacifier and my youngest 9 months only gets one when she is teeting cause she can bite it and that is it. Over 2 is too old, actually over one. All mums who let them have them past then RIP THEM OUT OF THERE MOUTHS AND BURN THEM, they are no longer babies and do not need the comfort or bucked teeth!
Reply:no way my daughter used one till about 1 1/2 and dropped it like a bad habit. my son never used one at all. There would be no way i would do it. But i see it all the time I guess it is easier to give it to the child than deal with the whining.\ for most parents anymore.
Reply:my son won['t even take a pacifer ( thank the lord ) but it irks me when 4/5 year olds are sucking on them and whats worse is that their parents are still pushing them around in strollers ! they have 2 legs, let them walk !!!!!!!!!! i think that if their feet can reach the ground while in the stroller, they have definitely outgrown it !
Reply:I totally agree with you! I can't stand seeing them walking around with one in their mouth. I really feel the problem these days is parent's abuse them! It all depends on how you use them, you can't let it substitute it for you. Or just to shut them up. My son didn't have a care for one anymore after 4mo old. I never used it very often and when I did use it I used it for the right reason's. My son is now 13mo and when he see's kids his age or older with one he stares in bewilderment and just want's to rip it out of the kids mouth! It really just looks ridiculous and I'd be embarrassed as a parent.
Reply:Just my opinion:


a pacifier should be used to do just that: pacifiy. Some babies just have that ferocious need to suck. My baby was that way, but notice I say BABY. My rule was if she is happy and otherwise content or distracted she shouldn't need to be pacified. When she was starting to get tired or overtired or cranky sure I'd pop it in and she'd suck suck suck and calm right down. Then when she was crawling then walking the rule was no pacifier while up and around. Then it was just at nap and bedtime. Then just bed. Then at 2 I told her the pacifier was needed by another baby and we had to put it in a package and mail it (she was obsessed with the mail/mail man then) and off it went. The 1st nap was rough without it but lots of reminders and a good cry got her thru nap. That night was a little better and the next day it was forgotten. It was hard but it was more important to me that it was time for it to be gone. I was the parent, I parented. It wasn't easy but parenting shouldn't be easy. The parent needs to be the one to say when the pacifier goes and I agree that 3 or 4 is too old for a pacifier.
Reply:You have to choose you battles wisely %26amp; some parents feel that this one is not worth arguing about. The only harm in it is *potential* dental problems %26amp; that does not happen with every child. Each parent has to weigh the benefits the child gets from the comforting against the potential risks %26amp; decide for themselves on something relatively harmless like this.
Reply:I don't know. I think a pacifier at that age is grouse!! You see 4 year olds walking around and they drop it, then pick it up and put it straight back in their mouths EWWW!!


My twins had one but both gave them always well before the was 6 months old. Even as babies they was never allowed to take them outside of the house.


My bestie has a 5 nearly 6 year old daughter who uses a pacifier all the time. She is in school now and as soon as she gets home it is in her mouth. When she comes to stay with us she isn't allowed to have one. And never even asks for one. I think at home it is her way of getting attention (she has 3 younger siblings).


I feel if your older child wants one, give it to them at home, don't let them take it out in public.
Reply:"so what, ur gonna let ur kids push u around because is something their used to?" Exactly right. There are going to be a thousand little conflicts like the pacifier conflict. Might as well be consistent. If you give in more than 10% of the time, the kid will always fight you.
Reply:yes i agree babys were not born with 1 in his/her mouth so they carnt need it or miss it if they have never had 1. so why do parents give children a pacifier then complain they wont give it up, just dont give them it in the first place then you wont have that problem
