Transitioning off of / Replacing the Binkie or Pacifier
2nd Jun 2017
Question: I just bought your brick chewie for my son, who chews up all his clothing! But I'm wondering - I'm having a terrible time getting my 2 year old daughter to give up her binkie - do you think that one of your chewies would work to replace them too? Have they ever been used in this way? Thanks so much!

Great question! People of all ages use our chews for all kinds of reasons. Transitioning off of a binkie isn’t one of the main uses, but we’ve definitely had some people tell use they use our chews for exactly that reason. So I’d say it’s worth a shot.
Out of all of our sensory replacements for pacifiers, I’d recommend our Baby Grabber for that. Specifically choose one of the soft versions from the pull-down menu on that page (it comes in soft and firm).
The extension part of the Baby Grabber is probably the closest in shape to a binkie, and as one of our softest chews, it’s probably the closest in terms of feel too. It also has a loop that’s easy for little hands to hold.
I hope this helps some! If you have any other questions, just let us know :)
