Sooner or later, the time to let go of the pacifier will arrive. When this happens, a lot of babies struggle with it because they are very attached to it. Sometimes kids as old as 3 and 4 years still love the pacifier. This also happens when parents fail to break the habit at the right time. The age between 1.5 to 2 years is ideal for the baby to lose his/her pacifier. During this time, distracting the baby is one way to break the habit. Try going for longer periods without having to use the pacifier. Give their favourite foods, watch TV or play games during bedtime or after they wake up when the need for the pacifier arises.
