Is it teething or too much depend on pacifier?She used to fall asleep on her own days or nights till 6 months.

on her own and hardly being cranky. After 6.5 months till now (7.5 months), she has been acting cranky almost everyday and through the day. I know she had been teething and I've already seen two buds under her upper gum cutting out. However, I expect her crankiness would be gone away after those two teething cutting out, but it has not. She didn't take any teether but taking her pacifier to relive her teething pain. She refused other form of teethers. She used to fall asleep on her own, but today couldn't without pacifer. My question is if she develop dependency to pacifier already? or it just means new other teeth are cutting out soon and she still has pain? If she is still in teeting pain, I will let her take the pacifier, if not I rather try to limit her pacifier use of break that habit soon. How do I know? (PS, she still chews on her tiny finger sometimes.)

She could be getting additional teeth as well...





I think that for a child as young as yours, the pacifier is comforting for them to suck on. I wouldn't take it away, especially if they are teething.





Don't worry about getting rid of it until they are at least 1 year old...mine was 3 when she got rid of hers and it was fairly easy.
Reply:don't break the "habit" too soon. You may end up with a thumb sucker. If the pacifier brings her sore gums comfort, then let her use it. But be the keeper of the pacifier.


My daughter was s"hooked" on her "sucker' until one day when she was trying to say something (maybe 2 years old) and I could not understand her. I said" baby, I cannot understand you with the sucker in your moth, Do you want to throw it away?


She agreed and put it in the trash can herself. We had one tough night, but when we reminded her that she decided to toss it out, she was like" oh......that's right...." and she went to sleep.
Reply:I went through the same thing and my daughter couldn't sleep after that without the pacifier! It's fine now, but try to break her from it soon. I finally had to just take my daughter's away and let her cry herself to sleep. After about 2 or 3 days, she was fine! GL
