Hello, We went through the same thing with our daughter earlier this year, only difference is she was 2 years old, which was a little harder because she had been used to it for so long. we asked her pediatrician also, and he said that the best way is to go cold turkey. Trust me i completely understand your suffering as i was almost in the same situation, i spend the entire day with her. What helped us was (and dont laugh) is scratching, while she was falling asleep we would gently rub her back or leg and it kind of replaced the pacifier. It takes a while for them to get used to it, but in the end, you will be happy. Good luck and do try your best to nap or just relax while she is napping, i know it is difficult to say. good luck again

Hi JMP, We just got back from Rome last week, i have to agree it is a wonderful city. I would also think that staying in an appartment or B&B would be more suitable for a family, as it may be more convinient & comfortable to make some meals or pack some sandwiches for the day. Dont bother going to the expensive, designer shoppinf streets unless you are willing to spend a fortune. We saw a wonderful street called the Vie Ottaviano (near the vatican), there were so many clothing stores that were just wonderful bargain deals. If you are looking for designers, then you can head to the via condotti. As for the tours, we did not buy any, we just baught the entrance tickets to the vatican online (to avoid the cues), baught a book about the vatican, and toured it ourselves. As for the Colosseo, we baught a tour, it was a great tour; it covered some restricted areas (underground dungeons & upper floors), really worth it, the standard entrance to the colosseo is around 13 or 15 euros, the tour was around 22 euros, but wrth every penny, especially when you go to the upper floors, and see everything. If you plan to buy the tours online, buy them from the respective websites for each tour or entracnce ticket so that you wouldn'y end up paying an additional charge to that seller. We stayed just near to the vatican, the Saint Peters was beautiful to see, roaming the streets was wonderful, and commuting to the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Piazza Del Popolo and Trevi Fountain was very easy. There is also something called the roma Pass, which entitles you to 3 days public transport and 2 museum or archological sites entrances for free. You can check out the roma pass webpage to see a list of places you can visit, it costs aroud 25 euros per person. I am sure you will love it...It is a very romantic city and yet, very family friendly (we travelled with our toddler, and it was a joy). Hope you enjoy your trip.
