| ok this is going to sound odd, my daugher is 81/2 months old and just now wanting a bink. She's got 4 teeth and still working on more. She's getting her teeth in very fast, or so i'm told. But i noticed she was sucking on her fingers a lot, and that something my husband and i both don't want her doing. So i handed her a bink to see what she would do with it. She plopped it in her mouth and went on her merry way. She hated the bink when she was just born and would not take it. I tried all sorts of them and she never would take one, but now she is. Has anyone else had this happen or is my daughter just weird. Should i continue to give her the bink, or let her suck on her fingers? Any advice would ge great |

| I can't tell you if you should or shouldn't. My daughter still uses her binky, she mostly chews on it (teething) and sucks on it when she is tired. I look at it this way, I can one day take the binky away, I can not take away her fingers, lol. I am sure in the future I might have a hard time breaking this habit, but for now it makes her happy. |

| My son is about the same age as your daughter. He took a pacifier when he was tired for the first three months of his life and that was it. In the past month, I introduced teething pacificiers to him and he fell in love. He rarely sucked them just chewed all over them and cried if it fell out and he couldn't get to it. I told a few of my friends with older kids and they advised me NOT to give him a paci... they said it's one of the toughtest habits to break in babies/toddlers and I'm lucky that he isn't "addicted" to them yet. So I'm taking their advice and not giving them to him again. I'm hoping it's good advice :). |

| My daughter is 10 months old and she refused to take a pacifier, until she started teething. Now all she does with one is chew on it, especially the plastic / hard part. She doesn't take one all the time, just when she wants it to chew on and doesn't want to chew on her teething toys. I think it just helps them with the teething pain. |
