Bankys

I blogged about pacifiers a while back. Did anyone see The View today? They talked about this for awhile. Many different opinions all prompted by a picture of Tom Cruises's daughter with Katie Holmes sporting a Banky. She is about to turn five. They seemed to want to focus on how strong the sucking instinct is with an infant and if you take the banky away too soon, they will turn to something else to satisfy this, usually the finger.

I know this didn't happen with mine. Now the one that never took to the pacifier but started immediately in with her finger was a different story as the finger IS attached. This went on for some time so I guess with her she really needed that but I didn't see any ill effects with the others and they gave up the pacifier at 4 months.
