My friend absolutely raved about the cut method, and all of the psychology behind it. She found it on www.bye-bye-binky.com which is great that it was free. Desperate with nothing to lose, I tried it. OMGosh... worked beautifully for my son with NO tantrums, not even one! Thank you God. Five days later he did not want anything to do with his binky. Highly recommended! I am also interested in others experiences.... Bella I was having major problems with my son’s binky use; well actually it was more like an addiction!

My son was fairly easy to transition early on to only taking a binky at nap and night night time. One day I decided it was time, for no special reason, and took all of them away and stored them in a safe place out of sight except for one. The one we kept mysteriously had a run in with a pair of scissors and had the tip cut off. I placed it back in his bed right where he left it and when he laid down for a nap he reached for it, popped it in and quickly realized that something was wrong. With the tip cut off, he could not form the necessary suction to make the thing effective. He took it out a couple of times and eyed it curiously before trying it again. after a day and a half he completely gave up on it as it was "broken". I had an "in-tact" binky on standby in case he had a total melt down, but he, luckily for me, just decided "oh well, it's broken and I'd rather not use it that use it like it is." My mom had told me that's how she did it and I thought that there was no way this would work, but she was right...... Don't tell her I said that. Good Luck. We went binkyless at 1.5yoa.

Good Luck.

The parents took the child to Build a Bear and the child got to pick out a bear, and the child put the binky inside the bear. I thought that was a neat idea.

We did it the "cold turkey" way. I thought it would be horrible, but it wasn't. He cried at night for it, but that was it and trust me...he was OBSESSED with it. He was at the point where he would have one in his mouth and holding another one. It was actually a little sad taking it away from him. Ha. My daughter is now 14 months old and she loves to have one too (not as much though) and I've been thinking about taking it away from her early. There is a part of me though that doesn't mind her having it until she's 2. It's kinda cute. :) We took our son’s binky away on his 2nd birthday. We did it the “cold turkey” way.
