Frida Baby Silicone Paci Weaning System, BPA Free, Latex Free

I was so anxious about weaning my 23 month old off the pacifier. He has used it religiously for sleep for his whole life. It’s really been his only comfort as he normally doesn’t care for rocking or loveys. He’s always slept with two pacifiers because he wants one in his mouth and one in his hand. We didn’t fully follow the directions because the pacis he always used were a totally different kind than these are and we gave two at a time. Shockingly, it worked great! He used all of them. He cried for only a few minutes when we got to #3 and #4. No crying for #5, he mostly wanted to hold it in his hand. After a few nights we took it away with no problem. I expected hours of crying for many nights and he barely cried at all. I am so pleasantly surprised at how well this worked for our paci obsessed boy! Would definitely recommend.

I bought these as a last resort before taking the paci from my three year old cold turkey and they worked SO WELL! My son has only used the paci for sleeping since he was 1 but was very attached to it and would ask for it constantly. We took longer to go through the “steps” and let him keep each one for about a week. It still only took a month and he is completely done with pacis! And the transition to each new one was a lot smoother than I expected. I honestly didn’t think these would work for him and I’m so relieved that they did.

I'm gonna be honest, I really was not sure about these. I have a three year old and a one and a half year old. My three year old was ATTACHED to her binky. I tried many different things from the binky fairy to cutting the tips of the binky off to cold turkeying it. Nothing worked with my three year old, and with it being hard to get her off of it, it made it that much more difficult with my one and a half year old. The first thing I did was get them binkies that had more of an alike shape to these weaning ones. I knew if I tried switching from their mam binkies, it never would have worked. The hardest out of all the numbers wasn't even them, it was switching to the binky with an alike nipple. I switched each one while they were asleep, so it was already in their mouths when they woke up. My daughter was very upset about the change in nipple shape, I mean screaming, crying, calling out for her old binky. Without even thinking, I somehow came up with the story that binky was going through growth spurts like she does. With that, she decided to give the new shape a try. I kept them on that binky for two weeks before trying the weaning kit. When I switched to number one, both didn't even notice at first until midday I heard my daughter holler, "binky changed colors!!" I got all excited for her and said, "Oh my gosh! Binky had another growth spurt!!" It kept the experience optimistic for her and something to look forward to. We kept them on number one for two weeks and then I made the change to number two. It was the same experience again, they did not notice until about midday and then I'd hear the excited, "Binky changed colors again!! Yay!!" However, I made the switch every three days instead to avoid them getting too used to that number. As we got to number 3, I noticed both my kids barely asking for binky. It was really only desired for sleep time and if they were super upset. They even would fall asleep for nap time without them. My one and a half year old gave binky up at number 4, saying, "Eww!!" when I tried to give him binky. I still switched binky to number 5 for both, so to my daughter it appeared that both were still having growth spurts. Switching to 5 for my three year old was hard, but it was a bittersweet moment. She came to me in the middle of the night upset that she couldn't hold binky in her mouth anymore. I told her that binky was finally all grown up, and we should celebrate. The next day we had cookies in celebration. She still asked for binky for a couple of days, and we allowed her to carry number 5 around to reassure her that binky was all grown up. Eventually (within two days), she stopped asking for it and I discreetly put it away for good. She did not ask about binky again until a week later. I reminded her that binky was all grown up and off to bigger and more exciting things in life. That answer seemed to please her and she has been good for a month now. I never thought we would get her weaned off, but honestly these worked magic, especially with our fun little story to them. I will forever recommend these to anybody.

We had delayed weaning my son from his binky due to so many life changes back to back. So we found him still attached to it at 3 years old. He used to cry if he lost it during the night and would absolutely not sleep without it. However my husband noticed that he started only using it at the beginning of the night, so we knew he was ready to sleep without it. I had told him that his binky was about to go through some changes now that he’s older. I explained how it’ll get smaller and the numbers will get bigger. He was actually super excited about his new binkies. That first night he did great, but he fought us the following night and nap time, begging for his old one. We held the boundary and he was kinda grumpy for a few days. But then he started insisting we give him the next number binky. He had asked for number 4 one night and he’s not mentioned it again since. So we went from meltdown to binky free in less than a week! These definitely work if you can hold your ground!

If you have a Paci Addict read this carefully... BUY 👏🏻 THIS 👏🏻 WEANING 👏🏻 SYSTEM 👏🏻 I cannot LOVE this product enough! It was literally a game changer for us. My LO was born prematurely resulting in NICU time. Now my original birth plan obviously didn’t include this and my care plan was strictly NO PACIFIERS! 🙅🏼‍♀️ However, when your child is in the NICU you do have to leave occasionally to eat & shower etc. so while I was gone she needed to “pacify” herself. After a discussion with her care team it was decided that a pacifier would be a positive for her, so I consented to allowing the staff to giving her one as needed. As her 1st year progressed she had multiple surgeries and drs appts so the paci became a staple in her comforting & soothing routine. Every test, blood draw, surgery, hospital stay, you name it, she had 3 at all times! One to use and one for each hand! Fast forward 3 years and they’re effecting the symmetry of her teeth and her bite so they’ve got to go! As attached as she was, it was no surprise that every effort I made ended in screaming, crying and stressed to the max. Given her reasoning for being so attached to them I knew going cold turkey could be traumatic doing more harm than good emotionally if I were to just make her safety net disappear one day. So I started digging even deeper into SAFE weaning methods, each one failing. I had read that snipping the ends of pacifiers gradually had worked for many mamas however that just didn’t sit right with me as cutting the paci disrupts the integrity of silicone posing a health and safety risk for your baby. So I wanted to find something equivalent to that method only safer! Just when I was about to say “screw it, I’ll just start saving now for braces” I stumbled across this product and figured for $20 I wouldn’t be too heartbroken if it didn’t work.... YALL!!! She didn’t even complete the steps before she was making the decision on her own to not need her “Pie” (that’s what she called them 🥰) I honestly couldn’t believe what was happening! I waited a few months to write a review to make sure it stuck and it has! Every once in awhile she’ll ask for a paci and we just remind her she’s a big girl now and doesn’t need them anymore and she’s totally fine and accepting of that answer and just continues on with what she was doing previously! I truly believe it’s because this weaning system made it her choice to not want them thus giving her the power of the decision and not feeling like something was just taken from her.

Our 2 1/2 year old began getting more attached to his binky instead of less attached so I decided it was time to intervene. I decided to give these a try and was shocked how quickly it worked. We only made it to step 1 when he decided he didn’t want it. He knew right away something wasn’t right but moved on quickly. If your like me & know your child will cry and cry for their binky and don’t have the heart to take it from them i really recommend trying these! I felt better about it because it was his decision if he wanted it or not. Only reason im giving 4 stars and not 5 is because they’re basically just binkys that are cut shorter and shorter so for the price im sure you could make your own at home. Although this option is probably safer but wanted to note that anyways. We’re now on day 3 of no binky and he stopped asking for it all together. I’m shocked because 500 times a day he would beg me for his regular one before giving him this instead. If you’re on the fence just go for it! Much cheaper than braces in the long run.

I think this method works but I dont see any difference to manually cutting your existing pacis. We ended up not using past the first stage because my son was not attached to these new pacis so in the end I just had to cut his actually pacis that he is attached to and was always using. That worked as well and he was done with his pacis in 2 days.

Worked better than expected for us and our two year old! He was a Tommee Tippie pacifier user and switched to these without any issue. We had already weaned back to only giving a pacifier at naps and overnight. With these, he began losing interest at stage 2 and was basically done with binkies by stage 4. It took about a week and caused far less fuss than expected. Very happy with the system.

Super Produkt. Uns hat geholfen in 5 Tage das Schnuller weg zu lassen.

Ça a totalement fonctionné sur mon fils de 17 mois pour l'arrêt définitif de la tutute en 10 jours. Tous les 2 jours je passais à l'étape suivante. 2 jours de tutute numéro 5, j'ai essayé la 1ere sieste sans rien : un succès ! J'ai donc tenté toute une nuit sans tutute : un succès également !!! Ça fait maintenant 5 jours consécutifs qu'il n'a pas eu une seule tutute en bouche. Je suis ravie et je recommande ce kit 🤩 dommage qu'il ne soit pas assez connu en France.

This was super. It was a very low effort way to get my 20 month old off the dummy. There was a small bit of fuss when switching from one to the next but no tears, just a little confusion. It took us 10 days in total to completely wean our dummy obsessed LO off. I’ve recommended this to all my friends with babies

Worked with my toddler

Just sharing my experience with this product. It may not be the same for everyone but worth a try. Upon the advice of my SIL, I had reluctantly got my son onto the pacifier since he had a short NICU stay after birth (my other kids didn't take pacifier). When he turned 2 years old, I could see his upper front teeth getting damaged due to the pacifier usage. Day and night. My first attempt using this product was at his age of 2, but he threw massive fits (including banging his head on mine or the walls), so I couldn't continue then. However, at the age of 2.5, I tried it again after speaking to him that the pacifier is not a good thing and is meant for little babies. It's been 3 days now and we've used only the first pacifier marked 1. My son has already given up using it during the day and last night (the 3rd night of using this), we didn't use any pacifier even from the weaning set. Although he asked for it once, but with cuddles and rocking he quickly calmed down and went back to sleep. So, for us it worked when the timing was right. Thank you Frida Baby.
