Weaning off pacifier

I started giving my boy pacifier quite early, at about 3weeks old. I was stress about the crying and felt very lost, hence i resort to giving pacifier to “calm him down”. Though my LO is nt very dependent on the pacifier but at times I can see that he wants something to suck (even though he is not crying for it). Sometimes he needs it to sleep, but sometimes he is ok without. How can I wean him off the pacifier and not affect his sleep.

I introduce quite early too..arnd 1 week too.. i felt like pacifier is a life saviour, same like above mommy , my lo is not dependant on it but i at times feel bad giving my lo pacifier. If you really want to wean of, you can try giving vinegar . But do note that pacifier doesnt really affect on latching , in fact some lactation consultant use pacifier to correct baby latching . You can slowly wean off when baby start to grow teeth coz prolong using pacifier can cause teeth slanting and other problem.
