This book smooths the way and makes giving up the pacifier a positive experience for all. Instead of saying that pacifiers are "bad," the focus is on minimizing stress and drama, dealing with feelings of frustrations, and finding fun things to do without a pacifier. Little ones relate to the simple words and warm, true-to-life illustrations. Tips from specialists give Mom and Dad the reassurance they need.
