Title: Pacifers
Post by: LaKecias on November 30, 2014, 10:45:38 am
What do you think the cut off age should be for toddlers to stop using them.

It depends when they use it. If its only at bedtime/naptime I don't think there's an age limit but I don't think a three year old should be running around in public with one.

I don't think there is a standard age.  My one daughter slept with one until she was almost 3' my other daughter stopped a little after she turned 1.

It would just depend on the toddler.  My son quit breastfeeding at 5 months but the pacifier and bottle where the hardest to wing them from I have seen people use them to long and it affects them latter.  For instance a friend of mine has a 13 year old daughter who still sucks her thumb.  I thought when my son was no longer on the bottle and eating regular food they should be off the pacifiers.
