Every night when i put my son to sleep, i automatically give him his soother and I rely on it periodically through the day. It was about this age that Angel gave up her soother (because she got a head cold and couldn't breathe through her nose, hence couldn't suck on the soother and breathe. So she was just done) and I made sure not to offer it to her again. It has been bothering me, this dependency on the soother. I have tried not to give it to him in the day, but it just makes him so much happier. and then he gets it every night. I have emotional baggage with thumb-sucking, so it was my happier alternative beacause it can be taken away.
Tonight, i decided to fight with Monster and not give him his soother to go to sleep with. He didn't care. Went to sleep without his soother and without a fight. So who is dependant on the soother? Looks like it was me... huh.. who'd a thunk?
I am not saying I won't be using it for daytime peace, but nice to know he doesn't NEED it to sleep...
