3. Recreate the Binky
If you think your child will still need something to soothe them when they get rid of the pacifier, give them a new “soother” like a stuffed animal. You could take them to a Build A Bear store to put the pacifier inside of their new stuffed animal. Or if you’re a good seamstress, undo the seam on a teddy bear, let the child put the binky inside their stuffed animal and sew it back up. You could explain to the child that the binky is like the teddy bear’s heart and helps keep them alive. Let your child keep the stuffed animal as their soother for bed time, nap time, or any time they need to feel better.
