Aw mama, ganyan din ang nangyari sa amin with our eldest, napakahirap talaga i-wean off lalo na kung comfort item na siya! A few of us tried the gradual approach like limiting paci lang sa bedtime and nap time, then slowly reducing even that, kaya mas manageable para sa baby. One of my mum friends swears by replacing it with something else comforting like a stuffed toy or soft blanket, pero kailangan talaga ng patience kasi may adjustment period sila. Nakita namin na pag bigla-bigla lang kinuha, mas lalo lang naiyak at tumagal mas matagal ang proseso, kaya unti-unti talaga ang way to go para sa peace of mind ninyo both. You got this, mamsh, it's just a phase!
