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

Ok so I was very skeptical about this product initially. My daughter could NOT sleep without her binky and when I tried cutting it, she lost. her. mind. Kept crying and saying it was “broken”. So for a few days prior to giving her these new binkies, I told her a fairy would be taking hers to babies that need them and she would get new ones. I eventually put the new ones in her crib and took all the old out. She noticed obviously but didn’t fuss much and I reiterated where they went and why. I gave her two of them at a time ( 1-2, then 2-3, then 3-4 and finally 5) each time it changed she used the bigger of the two but when all she had was #5, she realized it wasn’t satisfying. She set it on her nightstand AND WENT TO SLEEP. ZERO crying or fuss and the binkies are gone. I’m telling you if you’re skeptical just try it, this works!!!!!!

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.

My son (2years 9 months) wasn’t even close to give up his binky during the night and day nap. From the beginning we used orthodontic pacifier for him. When I saw this set I decided to give it a try because the binky situation was getting out of control (he would wake up in the middle of the night several times because he lost his pacifier somewhere in the bed during the sleep).So we actually got through all 5 stages. I kept each stage a bit longer than recommended. ( instead of 1-2 nights, I kept 3-4) stage 4 was present for 4 nights. The last one though, as soon as my son saw the 5 stage, he gave me a suspicious look and said that he doesn’t want it anymore. And just like that he is no longer sleeps with his binky.Numbers on the binky can also help to entertain with some stories, such as “pacifier is growing, from 1 to 2, from 2 to 3 etc. My son couldn’t wait to see pacifier’s new “birthday”. Just like that, with no tears, no hard feelings, and no psychological trauma - my son, who was sooo in love with his binky, turn his back on it once it turned five!Will recommend for weaning from orthodontic pacifier.

I bought this with low expectations because my daughter was using the itzy ritzy pacifiers which were in the least likely to work category, but I was amazed by the results! She is 20 months and was still sleeping with a pacifier every night, when we attempted to take it before buying this system we were dealing with hours of screaming and tears. We used each stage for 2-3 days and by the last stage she was totally done with the pacifier. It’s been over a month and she never asked for the pacifier again! I will be recommending this to every parent I know

Why did you pick this product vs others?:100% works. My 2 year old son was using mam pacifiers. I switched him to this pacifier weaning system and he was weaned from it in a week. He has officially been off the pacifier for 5 days and I am so happy for this product. I never thought this day would come. Definitely buy it!

Worked well to wean off pacifier. Did not need all of them to do so.

I wanted to love these as my almost two year old still loves her pacifier but it just didn’t work for us. If this pacifier is the nipple shape of the pacifier they already use, they will probably love it but since my toddler has a different nipple shape she wouldn’t even touch it. I feel like it could be very beneficial though, just didn’t work for us! I love most of Fridas products still!
