In January she got RSV, then ear infections, then thrush, then more ear infections and during her times of sickness, MoMo brought her comfort (and in all honesty it brought Steve and me a little peace and quiet). When she was sick, we let her have MoMo whenever she wanted and because of this she has once again become addicted to MoMo.
So today I decided that it was time to break our cycle of dependence and Eliza became an unwilling participant in MoMo rehab. I have decided that she can have MoMo at nap time and bed time . . . . I didn't think she (or I) was ready for cold turkey. She did pretty well this morning, she did ask for Mo a few times but I was tough and didn't crack. When I put her down for her nap, she was pretty excited when she realized that there was a MoMo in her bed. I anticipate that the road to becoming MoMo free may be trying at times but I know we can make it through this . . . . at least I hope we can.
Sleepy girl + MoMo reunion = a few quiet moments for Mom
Do you take out of town patients for MoMo Rehab? Nat Nat definetly needs to give up the Pon. I hope we can find one to match her wedding dress. You might want to cut a small hole in her momo.. it wont work and she might lose interest.. worked for nicole.. Nat Nat not so much
ReplyDeleteShe is too cute in that picture! We were lucky that Spencer never liked his passy, so we never had to break him of it. As a speech pathologist I was very conflicted even giving him one in the first place. I think as long as she is MoMo free by 2 she will be fine.
ReplyDeleteI spent many a nights cursing the fact that Norah would not use a paci, but thankfully it is one less thing to deal with now. Eliza is still probably too young to understand the concept, but I know a few people who have had some success getting their kid to mail all their pacifiers to 'babies who need them.'
