How can I break my 3 y/o son from a pacifier?
Answers:
I had the same problem with my daughter but she sucked on it all the time until she was about 3 or so. I tool her to the dentist and they said that she was starting to get an over bit, so when I went home that day I tried my best to explain to her that it was going to mess her teeth up. well she was not having that story, I took them and put them in the trash right in front of her. The first night or two she cried but after that she was just fine and now has beautiful teeth. I look back now at the pictures and wish I would have done it along time ago cause she looked redicules. good luck

Take it away and don't give it back. He will cry for it, but don't give it back. It's the only way. He is waaaaay too old for a pacifier.
You could go cold turkey and just not let him have it, that will = several nights of screaming and crying but he will get over it.
Or you could just 'spoil' the milk a little bit and make it taste bad, poke a little hole in it and fill it with tabasco or rice wine vinigar... which will produce crying.
He is old enough to under stand you, I would just explain that he is a 'big boy now' and not a baby anymore and you want HIM to throw all his pacifyers in the trash...
That way, he will know they are gone... and you will not be tempted to give them back.
Buy him a teddy bear to replace the pacifyer.
Edit: Do NOT play baby games with a 3 year old, he is still a kid, a todler at that. Also, if you start talking to a 3 year old like an idiot your going to end up with a child with speech problems.
You ask the dumbest questions! Stupid idiot you are! Your freakin' stalking me!!!!!!!!!!!
