Do you use a soother/pacifier with you baby?  Yes or No.
What age did she/he start?
What age did she/he stop?

I use a pacifier to soothe my little one or to help him fall asleep, sometimes he spits it out after he falls asleep.  He didn't take it right away.  I think around 1 month he did and he's 4 months and still using it.  I was against using it but it does help calm him as I found out sometimes he just wants to suck.

My first used the soother all the time upto 9 months, then he gave it up.  He would not take it anymore....nor would he sleep well. Eventually, he started to sleep well.

My second uses her soother all the time.  I tok it away at 11 1/2 months and only give it to her at naps and bedtime.  If she finds it....she know what to do with it.  She turns 1 next week and goes to Daycare shortly after that, and I didn't want the other kids touching it all day.  After some time -6 months, a year...whenever she is ready we will elimiate it totally.

Any tips on eliminting it are appreciated!

My first daughter used one right away and continued with it until she was 2 years old (although just at nap and bedtimes after age 1 or when she was sick). One night she asked to sleep with mommy in her bed, we were in a new house and my husband was on nights so I agreed but only if she didnt use her soother. I hid it and after 3 days of her not asking for it again I threw it out.

My second daughter refused to take one.

Its funny how they can be so different sometimes.

My kids naturally developed a self-pacifying tool: their fingers!  My eldest found her thumb from a few wks from birth, and my youngest found his pointy finger.  The middle child didn't need anything - duh! but thanks. She was the most manageable infant I had. I introduced the silicon pacifiers to all 3 when they were a few weeks old but they simply REFUSED. What the hell???  What will I do when you start that uncontrollable fuss, I would ask them.  But as it turned out nature has something else in mind.
