I'm going to pick up that book to read it.

This worked like a charm for Andrew. He was 2 years 8 months when we did this. It may work better to wean off naptime first and then bedtime. It might be too much to try and get rid of the binkie at both times.<br /><br />PS. Andrew did find a binkie that Santa left behind and started using itAndrew, Zachary and Will's Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284118651302295902noreply@blogger.com
