is this a prop??
« on: November 16, 2006, 17:30:11 PM »
My ds is 3 and a half months old.  He is a really good sleeper.  He goes to sleep by himself.  he usually take the paci to sleep, once he is asleep, or almost asleep he spits it out.  He can fall asleep without it but he likes to sleep wiht it, and it takes a lot less time.  Once he drops it he can go 4 hours or at night sometimes 6-8 hours.  If he wakes up during the night, he usually either goes back to sleep by himself, or want to suck on the paci 2 or 3 times, then goe to sleep.  Is this a prop, and is it bad what he is doing.  He is never put to sleep by being rocked and i never let him cio, so is what im doing ok or is it wrong? Thanks for your help!!! Christie

i dont think its a prop, ´cause you say he spits it out. If it was a prop he would cry whenever the paci fell down, and he would wake up constantly for it during the nigth, so nope i dont think you have a problem there.

I also agree with Esther - my DD does the same thing, and I have used the paci to eliminate night feedings and minimize wakings. As long as he is not needed it every 20 min, you should be good and your using it as a tool.
