Seeing two year olds and even one year old toddlers with passifiers in their mouths are my greatest pet peeve. To me a plug should be taken away not later than six months. How old do you feel a baby should be when passifier is removed?

My 2 1/2 yr old grandson still has his. I thought I'd buy him a new one when he starts school. My view? Don't give them the damn things in the first place. I hate them too.

For the first 18 mos. it's fine. It might be our only link to sanity during the teething times. By about 2 years old, the plug should be for sleep time only. If your child asks for it, just say "Yes, if you're going for a nap now". (usually they will say no, unless they're tired). At 3 years old, it's time to start telling your child "it's lost, we'll look for it later" etc.

I say they should be at least 2 year old or when they can talk because they cry a lot without it

Whenever the kid feels ready, sheesh- have a little sympathy their still eating milk at that point.
But thumb suckers creep me out.

I took them at 2 months for both my kids.
Both are fine.
