When to stop the pacifier. Dr. Lisa Dana. Pacifiers are popular soothers for infants, but after age one, they can do more harm than good. I tell parents to get rid of the pacifier at 9 months of age. If they keep it after 9 months of age, they will probably have it until age 2 or 3.
Pacifiers collect dirt and germs from your child's mouth and the floor when he drops them, but regular cleaning can keep those things at bay. Parents magazine recommends sterilizing a new pacifier with boiling water before giving it to your child. You should also boil any pacifier your child used while sick. 1  Fill a pot halfway with tap water. 2  Allow the water to come to a full boil. 3  Drop the pacifiers into the water one at a time.  Boil the pacifiers for five to 10 minutes, then remove the pot from the 1  stove. Pour the water into the sink and take the pacifiers out of the  pot.
