ALSOOOOO, he’s potty trained completely during the day time but at night when it’s bed time he still uses pull ups because if not he has accidents so if you have any advice on that I’d appreciate it so much.
My 2 yr is still on his binky he’ll be 3 in March and everybody is always talking crap to me about him still having it. He was broke before but found one at my moms and he picked it up again and I didn’t break him from it last time so I’m struggling on how to break him from it now. Any tips would be wonderful.

I did the binky fairy we talked about how she was growing up and the it was time for the binky fairy to come and that she would come get the binkys and leave a surprise. My daughter was excited and rounded up her binkys with help lol and left them out and the binky fairy came and left a coupon for her to go to the store and get a big girl toy

I cut the top ! Gave it to him and he was upset for a little bit about it being broken. Tried to use it and it just didn’t work it took a few days but it worked 
Get him up two hours at night to teach him to go potty at nighttime too. Stop giving him liquids before bedtime take him potty before bed. Just take the binky away yes he’ll have meltdowns but it’ll stop after a few days. Just throw it away cut it nipples off etc I agree he doesn’t need a binky anymore it’s bad for his teeth
Just throw it away. If he finds another one, throw that away too. He’ll get used to being without it
i told my son about the “binky fairy” i explained to him there was a lot of babies that were being born that needed them. i had him help put the binky’s in a little baggie and told him to find a special place to put them so the binky fairy could find them and take them to all the little babies and that he would get a little reward for helping her. he did it, still had a hard time afterwards without one but he did it.

Binky is something they grow out of. Dont stress over what other people say. I got mine to put them somewhere safe …under the pillow…when they were playing or going out. It was there for them at bedtime . They throw them away eventually and the dentist assured me sucking a thumb is more harmful to teeth. Both of mine had them for years and both have perfectly straight teeth
Nighttime toilet training is again something that happens when they are ready. Im not a believer in waking them or limiting fluids . Toilet before bed and pull ups. Stressing won’t make it happen any faster and will upset both of you
I started by limiting my daughter to only getting it at nap time & bed time. Once she finally lost her last one I just didn’t buy her anymore. At first she would suck on the safety outlet covers 
but eventually she just stopped. As for wetting the bed you can try cutting drinks off 2 hrs before bed & just making sure he goes right before bed.
Just take it. When my twins were about 2, we decided to take them away. We went through the house, cut the nipples off of all of them and tossed them. The first night, the youngest had a fit at bed time, the oldest didn’t. Come morning, we discovered the oldest found one that she had shoved beside her bed. We tore the house apart… she had them stashed everywhere. Found them all. Bed time again, the younger twin was fine that night, the older one threw a fit. By night number 3, they were both broken.

I would go cold turkey, but with the help of the “binky fairy”. If he keeps finding new ones, just throw them away. It’s easier said than done but it’ll be worth it in the end. 
I slowly cut the nipple off. Every day or two I’d take a little bit more off. After a couple weeks (or less I don’t remember) she one night just cuddled with it because she couldn’t suck it. Then the next night she just gave it to me. It was no tears and blew my expectations. My daughter was 2.5 and very dependent on it for sleeping
Just take it away or If you want to make it a big thing then say you’re giving them to the children that are more in need of dummies. One day my daughter just gave it up at 6 months old, you give her one now she just plays with it.

I told my kids that when they turned 3 they were too big for a paci, they threw them away on their 3rd birthday. All 4 of mine wore a pull up to bed until they were 4. There is nothing wrong with that, some kids just can’t hold their pee all night and waking them up is sometimes hard on them.

Throw them all every last one in the trash then take that trash out never buy one again. It’ll be a rough week but after a week or 2 it’ll be calmish lol
Cold turkey. My daughter is the same age (well be 3 in March as well). Took the binky away last month. Took a week off her constantly asking and being upset without it at night and naps. After that she’s been fine. Potty training the night time may take time and it’s ok. Don’t stress over that. He will get there
He will drop it … you don’t see adult walking around with smothers… pretty sure mine was 3 when she stopped … tell them to give their opinions to someone else.

Just take it away cold turkey. And for the other thing, get up about 2 times through the night & let him go pee.

Tough it out throw them ALL away. Rough couple of days but they do forget about it. If I have another kid I may never even start the binky thing.
Just take it away…I know, easier said than done. But literally…take it away. You’re gonna deal with crying and fussing for a while but they will learn that there is no more binky.

Just take it away and don’t give it back. It might be a rough few days, but you will both survive.
POTTY TIP: for my daughter we cut off drinks an hour before bed. potty at drink cut off, potty before bed, potty at midnight, potty at 7am. if still having accidents I would do 2 nightly wake up potties
My son was 3 when he dropped his. I was tired of peoples comments and just took it. -.- I think it’s better to let them do it on their own though

Start by taking it during the day and only giving it to him at night and then one day he’ll just wake up without it not needing it also tell those people to mind their own business, nicely.
We cut paci during the day and only had it at bed time and then we did a count down to paci going away. And then I just made them all disappear. It is harder on you than it is them.
The night time potty he just might not be ready yet. He is still a little young and still learning to know when to pee while they are asleep. Don’t rush give it time…mine were around 4 before they got the hang at night.
My daughter had hers till she was 5 and when she started preschool she threw it away

My kids quit the paci on their own all around 6 months… so no advice there. But my som just turned 4 yeasterday and still uses a pull up at night… thats normal
This was me with my kiddo- same age and everything. I gave him one weeks notice and I took it away. He was old enough to understand. It was miserable for the first week or so but we held strong.
He’s TWO. It’s amazing that he’s potty trained at all. And he will give up his bunny when he’s good and ready. When anyone has the nerve to ask or comment stare at them in silence and then say “why do you think it’s any of your concern?” And then wait in silence for the answer. You’re the momma and you’re in charge of letting him have whatever he needs to comfort himself.

Just throw them all in the trash
Mom of 2 grandma of 5, all binky babies, my advice they won’t take it to college with them. He will give it up. 2 is young, lots of security issues at 2. Let him enjoy his binky. 
Give to santa for the baby reindeers
The binky we told our kids that Santa needed it for all the new babies and we put it in a box to Santa and mailed it off. Worked amazingly. As for the pull-up at night that’s normal at his age my 3 year old is still in one at night. Sometimes she wakes up dry other times she doesn’t. But when they wake up dry for a while they are ready for panties full time. Also if you cut off drinks after dinner it will help him not wet his pull-up so much at night.
My daughter’s binky got lost and never found it again
My daughter was almost 3.5 yrs old when i finally broke her of the binky I told her that the momma bird took it to her baby birds (in reality my husband ran it over with the lawnmower by accident) she thought it was awesome that the baby birdies needed it I dunno that’s an idea the potty training thing is tough u could always try waking them to use the potty but then risk them not going back to bed I say leave him in pull ups until he has complete bladder control honestly its not going to hurt him don’t listen to other people ur the mom and at the end of the day im sure ur doing an amazing job don’t best urself up over it
Just stop giving it to them
