'Goodbye, Paci!' Board Book

My toddler actually handed the paci bag to me himself after we did the song a few times—I didn’t expect that. The book’s gradual storyline made the whole thing feel less like a battle and more like a little ritual we now do every night.

The interactive song is what got us through the hardest nights—my daughter would ask for it by humming the tune before bed. Having the little paci bag to physically put her pacifiers in made the whole process feel like a ceremony she was actually proud of.

My toddler actually reached for the paci bag herself on night three, which shocked me. The interactive song is catchy enough that I don't mind singing it on repeat, and the gradual approach felt way less stressful than going cold turkey. Two weeks in and the pacifier's been gone for good.
