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.
Background. A pacifier is a form of an artificial nipple on which the baby or child sucks. Fluids do no pass through the pacifier, rather, the action of sucking on the nipple is thought to soothe or calm the baby, quieting the baby, and even alleviating the burning and itching of the gums during teething.
