Weaning from Finger Sucking

When I had Kye I offered him a paci before he was even 14 days old. I was a true first time mom. I knew nothing about parenting and was totally and completely guessing my way through every decision I made. He quickly became attached to the pacifier and was a "paci baby." It was a sleep prop for him and I had a hardcore love/hate relationship with the thing. However, when it came time to wean from the pacifier, it was a smooth transition for us. ( Weaning from the Pacifier ) Even though I knew I'd handle the pacifier differently with future children, I still planned to use them as I did not want a finger sucker. Then Britt came along. I introduced the pacifier with her at times when Babywise recommends it (as a tool for sleep training rather than a prop). She just didn't take to it very well. She would suck it super super hard and it'd leave a big mark on her face and she'd spit it out. As soon as she weaned from swaddling, her fingers went in her mouth....
