On Becoming Baby Wise: Book II (Parenting Your Pretoddler Five to Fifteen Months) says that at the age of six months and when baby has started on solids that they don't need the pacifier anymore, their non-nutritive sucking is diminished . They suggest slowly taking it away starting one nap at a time then during night time sleep. The younger you take it the better. They also give you a tip that can help make things easier. You can pierce a hole in the pacifier nipple with a needle and that releases the vacuum bubble, which makes the pacifier enjoyable, so when the bubble is gone the pleasure is decreased which causes baby to wean himself!
