XP from July 11-going cold turkey w/ pacifier?

Good morning ladies. I am mostly a lurker these days as I spend most of my time on August 13 prepping for LO #2 but I wanted to ask you ladies a question about pacifiers because our LO's are around the same age. DS is 20 months old and admittedly we have waited too long to take away his pacifier. He only has it at night in his crib but I have been resisting taking it away because he sleeps 14 hours per night. Any tips/tricks on getting rid of it? We plan to go cold turkey and not look back. Any advice is much appreciated, thanks!

    I am doing this now with my daughter.  She also was only using it at night but I just felt it was time to get rid of it.  We have done it cold turkey which involves a bit of sleep training (which we've done before).  The first night, she

    We're doing this right now with DD, too.  She was also only using it at night and for naps.  We took it away altogether last Sunday night.

    She went to sleep okay without it, and our bigger struggle was when she would wake up in the midd

    D was about 19 months when I put him to bed w/o his 'plug' - When he asked for it I said, "oh no, it is lost! Mommy will go look for it you lay down."

    He did and went to sleep after just a few minutes. Then again my kid is pretty easy going. He d

    We went cold turkey at about 22 months. She had pretty much only ever had it at nap and bedtime. My mom was babysitting and couldn't find one when she put DD down for the night, and she said she could tell A was looking for something, but she just said th

    We took the nuk from both of our girls at 15 months, cold turkey. At that point they only had it in the crib/long car trips. It went differently for each of them.

    DD1 we took hers then because we were due with #2 in a few months and I wanted it g

    I've heard a lot of people putting a pin sized hole in the pacifier, then it doesn't suck the same.  They still get the pacifier but it doesn't satisfy them the way it once did and they wean almost immediately.
