My son has one, I will take it off him between 12-18 months. The "Dummy fairy" will come to get it and leave him a present.

I hope I won't have to fight my son for his, but he does get testy when he wants to sleep and he's tired and he doesn't have it. At one point it was like a magic wand, you give him the pacifer and he just lays down and cuddles his pillow.

I have three kids and all of them used a pacifier. The two older ones stopped using one before they were a year old. Our youngest didn't stop before she was almost three.

My mom did not want my twins to use a pacifier. She says it affects the growth and alignment of the teeth so I opted not to. I always beleived that moms know best

My mom told me that one day when I was really young, she was doing laundry and I was sitting on the dryer as she was putting clothes into the washing machine. My pacifier fell out of my mouth into the washing machine. Rather than digging it out, my mom told me it was "all gone" and I guess I must have believed her... that was the last time i used one.

My DS used a pacifier until he was 2. DD refuses to use one. She prefers her thumb or my boob.

We used a pacifier for DD since she was born, but on her seventh month, we decided to wean her from it. We were expecting sleepless nights and crying, but lo and behold, she slept as if she never got to use a pacifier in her life! It's like as if nothing happened. We just got very lucky with such a good baby.
