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.

There is nothing wrong with pacifier if it keeps baby calm UNLESS your baby have other methods to calm themselves then by all means stop...if you choose a good pacifier built for the growing teeth/mouth it should not have any adverse affect. My son was on AVENT pacifiers until he was in Pri 5...he used it only for sleeping and it calms him down. His teeth are growing nicely, no problems with speech, etc...just dont over think everything...go with your gut feel...
