Hi A.,
When my daughter was a little over a year old I limited the pacifier to her bed. When she was about 2 1/2 years old we got rid of it completely. After about a week of asking for it and crying about it. We actually threw it away because it had a hole in it. So when she asked for it I reminded her how she helped to throw it away. Then we snuggled for a while until she calmed down.
I thought it was a painful process for me. I hated seeing my baby unhappy but I knew it was best in the long run.
