Working‑Parent Quick Wins

• Make it sleep‑only first; daytime use fades next.
• Start a 7‑night chart with small rewards.
• Prep caregivers: same rules at daycare and home.
• Keep pacifiers out of sight; offer comfort baskets (books, plush, water).
• If setbacks happen, reset calmly and continue.

FAQs

• What if my child refuses sleep without it? Phase shorter use (insert after they’re drowsy), then remove earlier each night.
• Biting on the pacifier? It’s a sign to replace and accelerate weaning.
