Cut the ends of the binky smaller day by day. It’ll make it easier on you and her than just straight up taking it away.
I threw the pacifiers away 
bring them to the potty every hour and a half.
With my youngest, who is also attached to the pacifier, I limit the usage of it to help break the cycle.
He only gets it if he’s struggling to settle in bed but it’s removed once he’s asleep and he’s now sleeping through without it. It’s out of sight before he wakes up each morning.
As for potty training, I’ve always let my children tell me when they are ready and there’s nothing wrong with that. Eldest was fully trained at 2, middle child at 4, youngest is 3 now and only starting to use the potty.
Don’t put pressure on yourself, she’s still young

That’s too many big changes at once. If she’s not ready for potty then she won’t because she’s not ready. Ages are guidelines and not everyone has to do things by a certain age . I d try to do binky first then potty. They both take time to do so pick one and then look up tips or methods online . Good luck.

The binky I took all of them and we put them in a bag together and I said we were sending them off to a baby that needs them since she’s a big girl now and the potty training thing they will pick up when they are ready I tried forcing it for 6+ months stressing about it just for me to give up and within a week I caught her up in the bathroom using it by herself and that was the last day we wore diapers

Start with the binky 1st. That is a comfort to her and may send her back to wetting in her pants if you take it later. You can’t put a child through too many changes at the same time. Tackle the binky, then move on to the potty training.
Make the potty fun. They have little ones that do music and stuff when you flush it. Just encourage her to go when you go. Give a reward when she sits. When she goes, give a different reward like a little m&m and be super excited and happy. Clap etc. she’ll go when she’s ready ultimately. For pacifiers I dunno. My daughter weened herself.
Binky: we collected them put them in a bag and she “paid” for a stuffies at checkout with them.
Potty training: we started by taking her potty every 10 minutes, then every 15, then every 30 etc. once you switch to underwear never switch back. Treat when successful potty. We did a lot of fake tattoos. When she started to not have accidents she got a sticker which led to a bigger prize after so many accident free days.

I have all boys I potty trained them my letting them go around with just a shirt on at home they were all potty trained within a couple of weeks as for the binky I just got rid of them.
My nieces had a binkie fairy come pick up their binkies when they turned 3 years old. The binky fairy took their binkies to babies who needed them.

Chop the nipple off the binky. It’s no longer a soother for them, but it a chore and soon to be forgotten.

I bought my son big boy underwear with Spiderman on them. Told them he can wear big boy underwear. Let him play out in the backyard in the grass. He peed himself. Didn’t like the sensation running down his legs. Told me. I changed him into new underwear. Brought him in the yard to play. Peed again. Didn’t like the hot pee running down his leg. POTTY TRAINED IN ONE DAY. This method works. He was 3 and fully potty trained in one day.

My daughter was so attached to her sucky, we got her a new baby and told her she’s too old for a sucky. She asked for it sometimes, but told everyone “My mommy just take my sucky away” 
But I agree with the above comment, work on one at a time. First the sucky then the potty training.
We started with a potty chart, and each time she went potty she got a sticker. Eventually I told her if she continued using the potty, I’d get her a new something like a baby or a present! She did all summer on the potty, shes 3 and a half and is day trained now.

I potty trained my kids before taking binky away. It was kinda odd but it worked for us. They had a soother while potty trained. They’re adjusted just fine. But that was 15 years ago.
Take the binkie… she will cry about it sure she will have a fit but if you let her have it it’s going to seriously mess up her teeth.

Potty train at 4…much easier, spend the week at home.
Binky….start only at night, then naps only, and it broke, time to be a big girl. No binky, and have a piece of chocolate w breakfast. You can’t go back to diapers, pull ups, or binkys once you set the rules

I threw the binkies out on their 1st bday. We made a big deal out of it. Bottles had been gone. Lol
For potty training, take her with you. A graphic as it may be, it’s new for her so show her. Take her every time you go. Get her her iwn lil potty so she can sit while you sit. Show her how to wipe, flush & wash her hands. Flushing can be scary so Wave bye bye. Also, ecplain what it is. “It’s the stuff your tummy said can’t stay so it has to go.” Stuff like that. No diapers. Use pull ups during the & good nights at night. Start letting her see what underwear she can get when she stops using pull ups. Any kind she wants, who cares if they have Batman. Hype it up & keep it up every single day. Including at the sitters, grandparents, etc. Everybody has to be on the same page. She’ll get there.

I told my stubborn oldest son at age 3 that the President of the USA stopped making big diapers, that the diaper wearing age had been changed. Told him I was sorry, it sucked, there was nothing I could do, but he’d have to use the toilet from now on. Said if he needed help or pointers I’d help him out figuring out the toilet ‘thing’. Then I kind of shrugged it off. Didn’t have to do anything after that, he just started using the toilet. Actually shocked me that it worked. So I did the same to my younger kid when he reached age 2 1/2. His big brother commiserated with him entirely, told him “Yeah it totally sucks when that happens, but nothing we can do about it. I’ll help you out, though, cuz I had to do this too.”
Might work with the pacifier, too. Say the Queen of Some Made Up Country is banning them because…make up some story…binkies gave the Queen giant clunky rabbit teeth or something. Show daughter a pre selected photo of a character/someone with horrible huge teeth. The Queen says all binkies should be stomped on and thrown away in an ice cream shop faaaar from home. Then let the child stomp the binkie, then drive to a far away ice cream place to throw it away, get kid ice cream. Make it a noble cause, then a quest, so they WANT to do it.

When my daughter was about 18 months I told her she was a big girl and big girls don’t drink out of bottles and dont use binkies. She never used them again. As far as potty training we just started her sitting on the potty as much as possible when she was 2. We would praise her when she used the potty. She was potty trained in about 2 weeks.
She will give them up when she is ready. My daughter used a pacifier until she was about 2 1/2 and she threw it out of her crib - I picked it up and washed it off and gave it back to her - she again threw it out - that was it. No more pacifier for her. Potty training was easy - she hated being wet - - - -
My son lost his binkie when checking the mail when he was younger and I just never bought another one. It was hell for 3 days but after that he didn’t even remember it. I naked trained my son it’s what worked for him I had him sit on the potty every 15 mins even if he didn’t have to go and when he did go he got candy he was potty trained in 3 months and night time training I did at his own time by 3 he was fully day and night time potty trained.
I’m personally letting my daughter self Wean from her fuffy bcux my neices and nephews self weained . My one niece would just hold hers to comfort her . Some adults still suck their thimbs so I don’t think I’m going to press the issue over her fuffy . Unless we get to like 10 
but my daughter is almost 11 weeks . But all 3 of my god children who I was around a lot before I had my own baby. Self weaned around 11/12 months . And my neiece stopped around 3 needing to hold it .
If you cut a tiny hole in the binky it will mess up the way the binky is supposed to suck and she will lose interest! I did that and my son was over the binky in 2 days!

I did both in the same week ditched nappies and threw dummy in the bin. The dummy was harder then the potty training because she was so ready I was just being lazy. The dummy she got over in a few nights.
Don’t press for the potty. Don’t even mention it. Eventually she will be ready and do it herself. As for the pacifier, you can do something special to say goodbye, and then just stand strong. It took 2 nights of waking to cry for it before my son was done.

You’re going to have to bite the bullet and just throw the Binkley away. She’s way to old for it and it’s going to mess up her teeth if it hasn’t already. She will be cranky for awhile but she will get over it. As for potty training, reward her every time she goes potty. That’s what we had to do with my nephew. I highly doubt she is scared of it.
I started potty training my son was he was 20 months by 22 months he was completely potty trained. I bought him Batman (DC & Marvel) chonez & told him Batman doesn’t like to be pee’d on so don’t pee on batman. I would also put Cheerios in the potty & had him shoot at them when he pee’d. I made it a little game. I would also give him surprises when he would go. Maybe a fruit cup, popsicle, sticker. Whatever I had in my cupboards lol I also made up a song when he would go potty & we would sing it every time. Worked like a charm. You also gotta be consistent with her. Take her everytime you go or every half hour. The main key is patience. Don’t ever get mad at her if she has an accident. Good luck momma! I hope my tips help you out. I know it’s going to be different with a girl but some I’m hoping are able to help you Also I never put my son in pull ups. It’s just like a diaper. As far as her having a buddy (binkie) my son never had one. But I saw someone tell there kid that they are for babies & she’s a big girl now. So tie her buddy to a balloon & let her hold it then when she lets go her buddy will go with the balloon. Tell her to say goodbye to her buddy it’s going to heaven with the angels. Or whatever it is you believe you can come up with your own. You got this momma!!
My daughter was about 18 months old and had bitten through her pacifier (her comfort item too), it was barley hanging on. I ripped it off, handed back to her and told her it was broken. Told her it needed to be thrown away because it was broken, she threw it away and never asked for another one. My son did the same thing when he turned about 18 months….I have one son left who just turned 1, we will see how it goes with him down the road.
When it came time for potty training, she would always follow me and sit on her own little one at about 2 years old so by time she was ready she wasn’t nervous or scared. We also have a potty book that we read to her while she was on the potty, it’s a “flap” book from USBOURNE.
Following, I will be going through this soon enough. Only mine is almost two and a boy
I cut the tips off them all and it was no more…they made her mad and I said the didn’t have anymore at the store…it’s habit. 2 days and she was over it
Mine were both 2yrs 3 months when trained. My son had a pair of jocks with a motor bike on the front. Told him I’d bin them if he wet them. It worked but I’m a bad mother. Daughter was night trained before day. But she had the problem with the dummy/pacifier/plug. Every time I took it off her she had another one hidden. So we agreed to give it to Santa if she got a bike. Day after Christmas she asked if she could give her bike back. She was almost 3. Potty training is pretty much when the child is ready. They’ll know.
I threw my daughters binky out the window and that was that, she cried but I didn’t give in.

Potty training has always been pretty easy for my kids
My niece was terrified of the potty. Everyone blew her off but my mom. My mom was hurt at the time and had a hospital bed and port a pot. When my niece would come, she would go to the corner and go potty in her diaper. My mom caught on fast and asked her what was she doing and she would say don’t worry about it Mommom. My mom was like nope come here what’s going on. She finally said she was terrified of the potty because her Dad had dropped her in his toliet and she got wet. She thought she was falling thru everything from then on. So my mom would hold her over her port a pot and my niece could hold on to the side bars. She then told the whole family she could only use Mommoms potty. Mom had to tell everyone All you need to do is hold her and let her know she is safe. She would use my mom’s and her mom’s and never at her Dad’s. Thank Goodness she was mostly with us and her mom. And when my niece was at her Dad’s on the weekends he would call my mom and bring her to our house. Finally my mom was like you need to apologize and try again you can’t just bring her here, she won’t get it. My mom was able to get a potty chair to put on top of his and she felt safe. As for the Binkie/Pacifier she let us know when she was done. She was more into being able to look around and not have anything in front her. So she would throw it. I at first would wash it and give it back only for her to throw it again and that’s when she said I don’t like it when I move my head all around I want to see what’s going on and when I look down I can’t see anything but it. So I am done. And that was that. Good luck stay strong you got this

Look in the farmers almanac and it will tell you the dates and times to stop with the pacifier and potty train. I did it with my son and he never asked for his pacifier again and was potty trained in a day
Potty training takes consistency. Ask them to “try” every 15 minutes (literally set a timer)
A big reason they don’t wanna go is cause they hate stopping what they’re doing to go try. This way they’re stopping anyway so they eventually just start going.
Pacifier… cold turkey. Just have them be gone one day. There will be possibly a few days of crying and complaining and begging for it. This will be harder on you than her. Stay strong and don’t give in. If you give in you’re teaching her that flipping out and throwing a tantrum gets her what she wants.
Stick to your word… in both areas. Be strong. Stay consistent. Offer rewards for positively making strides in the right direction.
Make a huge deal when she “goes” in the potty. (We had mini m&ms on hand for this sole purpose and we would have a dance party)
Maybe offer a big girl toy like a new Barbie or something in place of the binkie. That should’ve been taken away at age 1 
We just got my grandson a cool little potty seat that goes on top of the toilet. It’s the perfect size for his little bum:smiling_face_with_three_hearts: we have a lot of fun with the potty training. We act as if it’s a game and praise him for how many times he can go potty throughout the day. Maybe try stickers on a piece of paper and put it on the fridge, as a reward thing but the binky I have no advice, he stopped that before he turned 2. He’ll be 3 in September 
There’s a video of super nanny with nanny Jo, and it’s about the binky fairy… I let my daughter watch it and it was gone in a day. Probably a video for potty training with nanny Jo as well.
My daughter had zero interest in using the potty (she was 2 going on 3) . We tried everything. Eventually we gave up because we were told that pushing too hard will cause them to be more resistanc. So we left it alone. One day, when she was 3 1/2. She asked to use the potty and that was it. She decided when she wanted to and has been ever since. There was no fighting or arguing about her using it.
As for the binky I wish I could help. My daughter is now almost 4 and uses it at bed time only.

2 points from me here as followed
- Bin every dummy she’s got in front of her DO NOT BUY ANYMORE
- DO NOT FORCE POTTY TRAINING

Cut holes in the binky. I was the mean mom who just made them throw them away and cry for many nights at bedtime. I also laid next to their bed as they cried and cried with them lol.
Let her have her binkie! The world is scary enough. No reason to deprive her of something that makes her feel better.
For the pacifier just straight up take it way and don’t give in. For potty training take pull ups and diapers away during the day unless your going out and night time and just take her to the potty or have a potty sitting out where she spends the most time
My son when we stared potty training would only poop on the potty and would scream if we put him on to pee so we got some books and a music box and he would start the music box while I would read to him. We also did a sticker chart and a treasure box with stickers and cars and lollipops. I can’t help with the binki as I never had this issue but my friend told her daughter the binki fairy will come to visit and take her binki to a baby who needs it and replace it with a big girl toy. It helped

I threw all of the binkies away and did it cold turkey it’ll be a few days of hell but she’ll get over it. As for the potty I’d slowly get her used to sitting there. Let her come in with you and flush and wash her hands when you’re done. Then let her sit on it when she’s ready.
Just take the Binkie when she is a sleep. And tell her that they disappear once she is of age. And say with surprise. And say we got to make a cake because she out grew her binkie. And let her help you make a cake. To celebrate
