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.
Feel good about pacifier weaning!
