Literal Panic Stations

[dlsafrica]

I am so dependent on my pacifier when I sleep (it keeps my airway open or I can sink into sleep paralysis and oxygen starvation) that I literally panicked the other night when I couldn't find it. I think I went one night without it, but that's not at all by choice. It's (as in anything, as long as it doesn't harm others) almost reassuring when it's something one depends on.

I'm not physically dependent on my dummy like you are, but I still hate it when I wake up and it's gone - usually it's still in my mouth, occasionally it's under the pillow & I remember it's there, but sometimes it's just gone.  Then I just have to find it, and it usually involves Mummy waking up too, even when I'm trying to search quietly.  Sometimes it's on the floor, sometimes I'm lying on it, sometimes Mummy's lying on it...

I used to have a string, but didn't like it

Emotionsl too, yes.   - besides, it's (very annoyingly) incredibly difficult to swear with a pacifier in one's mouth

Babies have it attached to their clothes 

Older babies have it strapped around head (Gag)

I recommend getting a paci clip and clip it to your shirt (or onesie ?).That way you'll always be able to find it!
