But fast forward to the last few days. She found one the other day, and instead of her usual reaction, she looked at it cross eyed, THEN stuck it in her mouth and starting sucking away! She was sort of in awe of this weird sucking devise. It was quite funny actually, she would suck on it for a few minutes, pull it out, look at it, put it back in, suck suck suck, pull it out, examine it, put it back in, suck suck suck. We were all laughing because she looks so different with a binky in her mouth. It reminds me so much of Kay (she was a total binky addict and you will never get me to say how long she had that thing!). Then today, I walked out of the shower, walked in the play room, and there she was sucking away! I went to put her down for a nap and she fell asleep with it in her mouth. This is not my child!
Do you think it is crazy if I give her a binky at this point? If we've gone 7.5 months without one, why start now right? I know how bad the habit is....its like kicking crack! So I should just gather them all up and throw them away? Right?!

I can't tell you what you should do, but I can tell you that at 8 months old London decided he loved the paci. He hated it as a baby and just like you I tried to force it on him. HAHA. He is now 18 months old and ummmm still sleep with one. He is an amazing sleeper so I am in no rush to take it away, but don't tell him dentist that hahaha. Good Luck!
mmm I think you hould be fine giving it to her, at this point it seems like she thinks of it more as a toy than an actual soother, not only that this is the time of some major teething.. so this could help her with comfort.
but I say no biggie, she may not even stay interested that long anyway, seeing that she never really was. It could just be a phase. =)
You said it yourself how bad of a habit it is to kick. I vote don't let her start now. But my baby broke herself of the paci at 6 months and I'm ever so glad I don't have to deal with it later on.
