Advice for weaning off the pacifier?

Please no judgement 🙈

My son is 3 and a half and still uses a pacifier to sleep at night. We’ve tried everything we can think of this past year to wean him off, but we just can’t get him to quit! The last round of trying you would have thought we cut his arm off he was crying so hard! He was up the ENTIRE night crying. Never fell asleep at all.

We’ve tried books, bribing, cold turkey, slowly weaning him off, sneaking it out at night... we’re at a loss. But clearly it has to be done at some point.

Any advice? Or is he just really not ready for this yet?

Signed, a desperate (pacifier hating) mom.
