Taylie has been pretty good about only using a binky to sleep, but she decided that she was wanting to have it all of the time. We thought that maybe we could try to wean her from it all together. The only idea that I had besides quitting it cold turkey, was to put it somewhere undesirable so if she wanted it that bad, she could have it but it wouldn't be any fun. So I took a shoelace and tied it to her dresser away from all of her toys so all she could do was sit and suck on it. I figured that she would get bored and that would be discouraging. It wasn't. She was perfectly happy to sit on her floor and suck her binky. It didn't take long for her to figure out to grab a book and take it with her so she could "read" while enjoying her binky.
then I thought that if I put it in an even more undesirable position, that may deter her from the habit, and as you can see it didn't.
