Yesterday evening (Sunday), my mum's ex neighbour in Jurong came to visit her. She saw Amanda sucking on the pacifier and took it out from her mouth and pretended to throw it out of the window and told Amanda that her pacifier was taken away by the birds. That evening, when Amanda was asked where her pacifier was, she would give you a "no more" gesture with her hands. She gave the auntie an angry look when she was trying to sleep that evening but my mum managed to pat her to sleep in her arms. The auntie advised to wean off early and she had done so successfully with her two grandchildren. They would make noise intially and it will take like about a week for them to kick the habit.
I decided to give it a try as I find that Amanda seems to be more addicted to her pacifier these days. That night, she fussed around and wanted her pacifier but I told her "auntie threw it away remember? The bird bird took it away" She cried and screamed pitifully and keep saying "neh neh" for 1 hour! Daddy could even hear her cries downstairs even though I have closed all the windows. However, I managed to get her to sleep as she cried to bed. Who knows, in the middle of night she woke up again crying and screaming away for her pacifier. She cried so pitifully that I cried along with her. I could not bear to continue hearing her cry anymore and asked Daddy to give the pacifier to her.
Haizz really don't know what to do. Maybe next time I have to use the "chilli" method liao.
