That is a basic summary. If you are one who wants to use a pacifier but also wants to prevent your child from getting addicted to it, I would recommend reading Hogg's suggestions. For that reason, I will list page numbers I found helpful for pacifier use, and you can read her words first hand. This information is found in Secrets of the Baby Whisperer by Tracy Hogg.

My daughter always seem to wake up at 5:30. I leave her in her crib to talk and try and pacify with a pacifer and try and to prolong her to start her day closer to 7.

My 13 week old daughter is thankfully sleeping through the night (7pm-7am). Unfortunately, her parents are not!! We get up on average 4-5 times per night to put her paci back in her mouth. I am getting less sleep now than I did during the beginning weeks. Help! Should we make her quit cold turkey? And if so, how??? I read Hogg's book and Babywise but still don't know what the most affective approach is!
unfortunately, I don't have any experience with pacifiers so I don't know what is best.
I do know a lot of moms take away the pacifier at the age of your baby, and they seem to do it cold turkey. It will require CIO while she learns to soothe herself rather than rely on the pacifier.
You might be interested in seeing the Babywise group on Babycenter.com. There are moms there who have been through taking the paci away that might be able to help.
