Bye Bye Paci Bye Bye

Dylan was not a paci taker or a thumb sucker, and Natalie loves her paci.  However, I was not loving getting up every hour to put it back in her mouth.  She only needed it to go to sleep when she slept in our room, but for some reason when we put her in her bed, she all of a sudden needed it all night.  I read up on it online and everyone said it was better to take it away before 6 months.  After debating it, I pulled the trigger.  I have to admit the first few nights were hard. She would be awake for an hour wanting her paci.  I just kept going in her room every 5-10 minutes to soothe her.  Now, 6 days later, it's getting easier.  I think she still wants it and she has even found her thumb at times, but I don't want her doing that either as I was a thumb sucker and I know the damage it does. Natalie, you will thank me later but at the moment, I seem cruel.  I wish you could have found your paci on your own without making me because I know how much you love your paci.
