[quote=Anonymous]My son is nearly 3.5 and still has his for sleeping. We tried right when he turned 2 to get rid of it and he would absolutely not take naps and would fall asleep at night but then wake up screaming and not even know why. For hours. I asked myself why I was doing it and whether whatever reason (because I felt some kind of social pressure?  We'd been to the dentist at 18 months and they had no problem) was worth it and the answer was NO way.  Near age 3 we had a new baby and have recently become finally potty trained.  He still loves the pacifier and I think that if a kid uses it for comfort it's fine. If you decide it needs to go for some reason (and other parents telling you to grow a pair is not a good reason) then it can be done. But from a parent of a child a year old and still using one it is not the end of the world.  If my dentist tells me it has to go we'll cut off the ends of them or give them to the binkie fairy. Otherwise I'm not worried about it. FWIW my son talks more than any other 3 year old I know. I wouldn't call him gifted but the pacifier certainly hasn't hindered language development.  [/quote]
