We just got rid of my son's pacifier at 18 months (he's 20 months now). You don't realize it but sometimes it's harder for the parents to get rid of the pacifier because they've relied on it so much to calm him down. That's what we went through. So instead of breaking down and giving it to him, we threw them away that way we wouldn't be tempted to give it to him. It was rough, but now we are pacifier free and it's great. The longer you wait, the harder it will be for you and him. Good luck and be strong!
