Pacifier Addiction?
This is a blog I’m sure, lots of parents will relate too!
Every
transitional period in a young child’s life can be pretty traumatic, for both
parent and child. I hope this book will make life just a little easier for the
40% Yes 40%! Of toddlers who have “Pacifier Addiction”!
Most
children are introduced to the pacifier pretty soon after birth. Then normally
the weaning process begins at between 1 and 2 years of age.
By that age, babies have been weaned from breast feeding, bottle feeding or both, weaned from liquids to solids etc. So in fact, weaning shouldn't be anything new for a child right? However, through all these transitional periods, there's always been one constant - yes, the pacifier!
I’m not a Doctor or a Dentist Just a Parent
Joey
came into our care at just 20 months old. As new Foster Parents (never having
children of our own) we fell in love instantly. Joey was addicted to his
pacifier. We decided to wait until he was 2 years old to wean him from the
habit, giving him chance to settle in, feel comfortable, and with the least
amount of stress.
Firstly
we decided on losing it. Not a chance, he cried, screamed, wouldn’t go to sleep
and basically I didn’t have the heart to keep it up.
Then my sister recommended playing a game of leaving the
pacifier outside for Mama Chip Monk as she needed a pacifier for her little
baby Chippy. Well, Joey decided that if Chippy wanted a pacifier then his Mama
should just go to the store and buy him one!
My Sister did admit later, that she used this method on her daughter but with raccoons. Danielle is now 27 years old and apparently has and intense hatred of raccoons, she just can't remember why!
Joey would not part with his pacifier, the only time it actually came out of his mouth was when he was eating. Every time I tried to take it away, or pretend to lose it, he screamed and cried, wouldn't sleep. I was at my wits end.
Then a friend suggested poling a hole in his existing pacifier, as this renders the pacifier unsatisfying for the child. I tried it and it worked. Within a few days Joey actually weaned himself, just put it aside one day and that was that!
Do Not Snip Holes in Pacifiers
Then a couple of years later, purely by chance, I came across an article about this "do it yourself" pacifier weaning method. Apparently snipping holes or altering your child's pacifier in any way can be pretty dangerous.
The pacifier loses it's integrity and slivers of silicon can become in-bedded in the child's gums, or bits can break off and even create a choking hazard!
The pacifier loses it's integrity and slivers of silicon can become in-bedded in the child's gums, or bits can break off and even create a choking hazard!
I was pretty horrified!
So I decided to develop a pacifier weaning system, based on a regular pacifier but with a manufactured hole, still works the same but totally safe.
Hence "Ditch The Dummy" was born - a one step pacifier weaning system. Simply exchange your child's existing pacifier with "Ditch The Dummy" and let your child wean themselves and at their own pace.

Pacifier Weaning Tips - Do Not Alter Your Child's Pacifier For Weaning Purposes
Does This Really Look Like a Good Idea?
For decades, parents have been snipping holes in their children's pacifiers for weaning purposes. Don't get me wrong, it does work, however slivers of silicon can become in-bedded in the child's gums or worse, create a choking hazard.
There really hasn't been many alternatives out there to help parents with this daunting transitional task, and when you consider, aproximately 40% of children become highly addicted to their pacifiers, this is a pretty huge parental problem.
There are products available, such as books, and toys also a 5 step weaning system, which is basically 5 pacifiers reducing in size, which I'm sure works very well, but with a price range of $20 - $30, it's expensive for the average parent.
I'm not a doctor or a dentist, but I am a parent, and I do know extended pacifier use can damage teeth, gums and speech development, and there is a need for a simple in-expensive Pacifier Weaning System, hence "Ditch The Dummy" was born!
"Ditch The Dummy" is the only one step pacifier weaning system available today. Created on the concept of the "do it yourself method" It's a regular pacifier, but with a manufactured hole, still works the same, but safe.
The One Step Method - Simply exchange your child's existing pacifier for "Ditch The Dummy." The manufactured hole renders the pacifier unsatisfying for the child, eventually setting the pacifier aside themselves, on their own terms and pace. Normally within a few days, don't lose faith if it takes a little longer with your child, remember, it's at their own pace.
The main thing to remember is to remove all regular pacifiers from the house, if your child find's one (which happened to me) then your back to square one!
Ditch The Dummy is available for purchase at www.ditchthedummy.com for Just $6.95 plus s&h.

Florida Mompreneur - Creator of "Ditch the Dummy" Pacifier Weaning System
Florida Mompreneur
Creates a Brand New Pacifier Weaning System
Ditch
the Dummy!
The Only One Step Pacifier Weaning System
Florida Mom Penny Angela recognized a gap in the baby
market when trying to wean her 2 year son Joey off his pacifier.
Penny Says: “Joey would not part with his pacifier, the
only time it actually came out of his mouth was when he was eating, every time
I tried to take it away, or pretend to
lose it, he screamed and cried, wouldn’t sleep, I was at my wits end.
Then a friend suggested poking a hole in his existing
pacifier, as this renders the pacifier unsatisfying for the child. I tried it
and it worked, within a few days Joey actually weaned himself, just put it
aside one day and that was that!
Then, purely by chance,
I came across an article about this “do it yourself” pacifier weaning
method, apparently it can be pretty dangerous, the pacifier loses its integrity
and slivers of silicon can become in-bedded in the child’s gums, or bits can
break off and even create a choking hazard!
I was pretty horrified, but knowing this method does work,
I decided to create a pacifier weaning system along those lines, but with a
manufactured hole, still work’s the same, but it’s totally safe.
I searched the web for similar products, the only tangible
pacifier weaning system I found (besides books) was a set of 5 pacifiers
reducing in size, this looked great, and I’m sure it works, but priced between
$20 and $30 depending on who’s website you place your order, it’s pretty
expensive for the average parent. I wanted to be able to retail my product for
less than $10 including shipping.
I originally came up with the name “Binky Stop” but after
research, found the word ‘Binky’ was trademarked already and trying to use the
name in any shape or form would result in a cease and desist letter from the
company’s law team! So were most pacifier related catchy names. I was born in
England, we call pacifiers ‘Dummies’ and so ‘Ditch the Dummy’ was born.
Then the work began. Patenting a product firstly is a must,
Ditch the Dummy is now patent pending.
I didn’t even know what a CAD Drawing was until an American
manufacturer explained, getting a CAD (3 D computer drawing) is the first step,
okay not very difficult or expensive, just searched for CAD companies on the internet,
and picked one.
Then submitting to manufacturers, firstly I approached
American companies. The first looked great; they were already making a child’s
product, but when they eventually returned my call, explained they were not
open to more business. Another came back with a quote of $7.00 per unit for a
5,000 minimum order, but the cost would go down to around $5.00 for 20,000
units and without packaging (I was hoping to sell these for less than that, not
to mention didn’t have a spare $35,000).
Another wanted $10,000 for tooling then $4 per unit, again
without packaging, but he did have a friend who would package the product, I
didn’t pursue for how much per unit the friend would charge, I’d basically had
it!
I began to search for an American Company that sourced
China Manufacturers, basically a middle man, found quite a few of those, but
they all seemed to require paying before they actually did anything, and this was $1,000’s of dollars (before you
even got a quote!)
Then by chance I came across a company who would do all the
leg work with China, got me a fantastic quote, including packaging and all for
just 10% of the order cost, which was to be paid after production and the
product was on the ship!
I found another company on the web called “Mentor.com” this
site is worth its weight in gold, and it’s free, I found my perfect mentor
Anthony, he helped with our website – he basically built it! Now he’s onboard
with marketing tips and best practices.
I went to Fiverr.com for my logo, this is a great site for
any kind of artwork, logo’s or basically anything you may need for a business,
and yes, prices do start at just $5, found a great guy in India who came up
with the perfect logo, my husband created the packaging artwork on photo shop,
job done!”
Penny’s product is now on the ship, due to arrive in Miami the
first week in September 2016. The website www.ditchthedummy.com is
now open for pre-orders for just $6.95 plus shipping.

Yep, this is what we also got with our little adopted son Joey when we decided it was time to "Ditch the Dummy"!
Joey came into our care at just 20 months old and yes, he was addicted to his Binky. We tried all of the above, nothing worked!
Then we heard of snipping a hole in one of Joey's existing pacifiers from a family friend, this renders the pacifier unsatisfying for the child, we tried it, and yes it worked, within a couple of days Joey set aside his binky himself and quickly forgot about it.
However, I came across an article on this "do it yourself" method and was horrified to learn that altering an existing pacifier could be extremely dangerous, slivers of silicon can become in-bedded in your child's gums or pieces can even break off and become a choking hazard, and parents have been using this method for decades!
