At 20 mos Baby Girl still loves her Binky. I get crap from her teacher about her still using it but I really don't have the heart to take it away. Within the last two weeks she has learned the word "Binky" and now knows how to verbalize her need for it. She says "The Binky" and repeats it 3 times. It's very cute except when you are in the pediatrician a office waiting for your doctor, who told you to get of it at 10 mos. For an hour I had to keep her entertained without it. She mentioned it a few times and I hoped that wouldn't be the moment he walked in! Luckily, our secret is safe for now!
