The best Children's Duck Books: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Thanks! Google had the meaning from different cultures but I didn't know yours. 🤣 Plus, recollections of this childhood favorite book really got me confused.

My LO loves ducks and we got “No more Pacifier Duck” book for her. The duck gives up daytime pacifiers and then nighttime pacifiers. We’ve weaned daytime so far and she gets it.

We set a limit of my daughter only using it in her room when she was like 18 months or maybe a little earlier. So she would want to hang out and read books for 10 minutes after we went in to change her diaper, but that was it outside of bedtime and naps. We told her the boundary and made sure to enforce it (so if we walked downstairs with the pacifier in her mouth, we marched right back up), so it worked well. She understood the limit and got used to it pretty quickly.

We also got this book below, which started with a similar rule and then went to no pacifier. When she was like 22 months, my daughter broke a tooth and the dentist had her quit cold turkey. It was emotional but went surprisingly well, we lucked out. And then she talked about how the pacifiers were all gone and how we threw them in the garbage. She would bring them up to ask about them for months, but she wasn’t too sad, fortunately.

No More Pacifier, Duck (Hello Genius) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/1479557935/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_KBB8FKQZ1KAF2ZDSH65Q

Nice, I knew FFA kids who bred and competed with their chickens. I always thought of chickens being chunky white birds, but some of the breeds have beautiful plumage.

Ducks always make me think A Story About Ping I loved it as a child.

No, sometimes make way, but not give way. For example, in the title of this classic children's book. I think using give way in the sense that we use yield would sound peculiar. When it's not used to mean collapse, it always has some of that sense of failure or defeat.

HI! First, sorry if this is long winded! We just got rid of the pacifier for our two year old over the Thanksgiving holiday. Like you, she was only a night time user. But, it was her security, and she always had to have 3 in her crib when she fell asleep (one in mouth, one in each hand). I was worried about going cold turkey for the same reason, especially cus' it was WWIII when her pacifiers fell out of the crib in the middle of the night! We went with the Paci Fairy idea. I also got a couple books which we read for about 2 weeks before D-day. Basically, we talked about how we had to give the pacifiers away to the Paci Fairy, and she would in turn give her a present. That night we gathered all the pacifiers, put it in an envelope and wrote a note to the fairy and left it outside the door. I gave her a new teddy bear to snuggle and in the morning she woke up and found her present outside. She did surprisingly well with it all; she didn't even cry when I left her room that night. There wasn't even a lot of crying in the night. We did get up maybe 4-5 times the first night to settle her, 2 times for the next two nights, and then shes been back to sleeping through the night ever since. The nap has definitely been harder than night time. I actually threw all the pacifiers away to not allow myself to give in if things were tough. I think the books were the most helpful. Especially this one, cus' the duck is alsoa bedtime exclusive user. I also go the Bea Gives Up Her Pacifier one, but I didn't like how they tell the toddler to think about food when you miss your pacifier... seemed to send a weird message. GOOD LUCK!

The story was already chronicled in a Mo Willems book!

All explained in one of the best tech manuals ever: The Story about Ping. Explained so clearly it is like reading a children's book!
