When did baby stop using a pacifier?

Question

My guy only uses them for naps and going to sleep for the night. I'm wondering when to fade it out.
Should I start with not using for naps and then taking away nighttime or should I cold turkey all together?

Answer

Before baby is 2, earlier is better. It is good that it is only before naps and bed but it can cause dental problems as they get older.

Answer

I waited for an opportunity to turf it. My son threw his behind the dresser and I said I couldn't find it. He fussed for 20 min and that was it. 
At this point I had also said naps and bedtime only. I started that when he was about 1. He went to my mom's some weekends and he got it 24/7 there which made things difficult come Monday morning but overall not a big deal.

Answer

My girl stopped on her own at 9 months I used it for whenever she wanted it then one day she would push it away and I knew she did not want it anymore if she did take it she would wait until I walked away and tossed it across the room and laughed 😆

Answer

My first son was 3, second never really used it, and 3rd was around 6-7 months

Answer

We tossed them when our daughter was 15 months.

Answer

Our dog kept stealing them and chewing them up. At about a year old the dog chewed what we thought was her last one but for a few months after she would pop up with a pacifier she found that she stashed somewhere. Eventually all of those the dog ate too. Then she just laughed at the silly dog who ate her binkies and that was that. No tears.

Answer

My son is 15 months and uses at nap and night still

Answer

Take it cold turkey as soon as you can

Answer

We stopped at 9 months. When he threw his first fit and threw binky across the room. I was like, we are done!

Answer

our LO used hers for way longer then we would’ve preferred (long story)... but she really only used it for sleeping and when she was upset for comfort. I was dreading getting her off of it because I know soothers are the hardest thing to get a child off of. We ended up just taking it away from her cold turkey, and it’s like it never even existed! She was so good about it. She didn’t whine or cry for it when we’d put her to sleep. On the occasional times she would ask for it we wouldn’t say “no” or anything like that, we would just change the topic. (“what’s on the tv?” “Where’s your toys?” etc..). She stopped asking for it in less than a week.
