First I would try to limit it during the day and once he has cut back on using it cut a small hole in the tip he'll get sick of it. If you have them lying around the house make sure you find them all cuz if he's chewing on one with a hole then finds a good one you are going to have a hard time getting it away good luck it may be easier than you think

I don't know how you can let your son eat poo. GOD blessed your son. Why don't you see what your son dislike and you put it on the pacifier? For example, fish liver oil. Some kids don’t like it because of the smell. If your son doesn’t like it, you can spread it on his pacifier.
You know what you child doesn't like. Hope you find a way. GOD bless

My son had his until he was three. He got really attached to it when I took him off the bottle. It's just a security thing. To get him off of it I talked to him and told him that he was a big boy now and that another little boy younger than him needed it to make him feel better. Then I had him put it in a baggie, (he needs to do it himself to give him the feeling that he's doing something good) and I told him that I would send it to that little boy. We had a few weeks of rough sleep, but he never asked for it again. It's worth a try.

i had this same problem, cut off the tip of the pacifier, he wont like it because there is no suction, he might be pissed for a while but he still has his pacifier, also when trying to wien him only give it to him for bed then slowly start taking that away.

They sell something you can put on their thumbs to help them stop sucking their thumbs; try that on the pacifier. Only offer it at night, then less and less. We also have to remember, things like this are only phases. It will not last forever. Good luck.

When my oldest was almost 2, she was still attached to her pacifier (binky). My husband was more determined to get her off of it than I was (maybe I was the one attached?), so he just threw them all out one day, and told her they were gone. When she'd ask for one, we'd tell her "BIG girls don't use pacifiers, and you're a big girl now!"
Good luck! Potty training is just around the corner! =)

Why would you take that baby's pacifier from him? I could see if he was five and going to school. Trust me, let that baby be a baby as long as you can. Soon, he'll be grown up and won't need you like he does now, and you'll miss it.

I would like to help you, but I'm working on the same thing with my daughter. She's 3 and I told her that we would start by having the "paci" for naps and bedtime only. So far so good.

I had the same problem. We had to take our sons off him for "Santa Claus" or else he couldn't possibly bring any gifts on Christmas morning.
