With my first, I took it away at 18 months. I slowly started to wean him from it and he only had it at nap time and bed time. Then at around 18 months, I had him throw them in the garbage and that was it. It was hard. Very hard. He cried at nap time and bed time for a good 3-5 days. "Nuky, nuky, nuky." I was very tempted to give it to him because he was soooo sad and I felt like a terrible mom. My husband even tried to convince me to give it to him. But I stuck to my guns and I held strong. That's the key. It will be very hard for a few days but they do learn how to sleep without it. You just have to keep telling yourself, they will be just fine.

Allison still has hers. She gets it in the car and at bed/nap time. Occasionally if she is really upset we will give it to her.
Actually, when she goes to sleep we give her two. One to hold and one to put in her mouth. She rotates them and it saved us from getting up when she would lose one in the crib.
Orignially we were going to try and break her at 12 months, then after vacation, then at 18 months. I think we will wait until 2 though. The car one will go away when we turn her around to forward facing. We may pull the second one from bedtime soon. Who knows...
