I can barely understand the point of pacis all day long...IME (that is, with dcks only 'cause my DD never used one) they quickly learn to clamp their gums down around it and cry anyway, soooo....what's the point?
I take the paci away except for naptime within just a few weeks of an infant being here. Most recent infant I had, she barely even fussed about it and went happily about her business--a couple times at pick-up mom would spot that dcg didn't have a paci in her mouth and practically flip out: "Oh no, dcg, where's your paci?! Quick, we need a paci Miss Silver!" and I would calmly tell her that the paci is in the diaper bag like always. DCG wouldn't even be fussing and mom would be flipping out. I think it ends up being more for the parent than for the kid.
