    Actually, I do put them away when the child gets here in the morning. They really don't need to walk around with it all day like the parents probably let them. But once naptime comes and they are used to having a binky, I give it to them.

    There IS a limit, however. I probably wouldn't want them to have it much past 14 months or so. I've never had to deal with that, but I think I'd suggest it to the parent once they hit that age.
    i agree - i've said before if a parent wants their kid drinking mt. dew from a bottle when they're 3 - i'm not gonna make my days hell trying to fight it. they're just going to go home and erase any work i've done, anyway. same with the paci. it's not worth the fight - you're not going to win.

    my son never took a paci, but my daughter was off the bottle at 1 and i started taking her paci around the same time. she rarely ever had it at home, but i'd leave it in her cubby and let the teacher know just incase she had a fit. i didn't wanna be the parent "oh, she wants US to do all the work, blah blah."

    but yeah as a provider - whatever. i guess i'm jaded - but i'm not going to do something the parents aren't willing to do. my sanity is more important.

      I never give pacifiers to any of the kiddies. If their parents want to use a "baby cork" let 'em. Walk in my door.... no paci.... not an issue.
