Hi! My child is 2.5 years old and refuses to quit the pacifier. Any tips on how to slowly wean off it and will it affect her teeth/bite? Thank you!

Pacifier use beyond age 3 can start to affect teeth and bite. Try limiting it to bedtime only, then gradually shorten the time. Positive encouragement, comfort toys, or small rewards can help with weaning.
