Our daughter simply didn't accept pacifiers as long as she was breastfed. We weaned her in steps (first during the day, then in the evenings, and finally.during the night - pretty much the day it completely stopped, she suddenly became interested in pacifiers. She's now 17 months old already, and we try to avoid giving her one while we are playing etc. simply because she is essentially mute with a pacifier, and we feel that it hinders her language development when she's discouraged to speak (so far only in her funny made up language) due to the pacifier. In some situations though, they are pretty life saving (or rather eardrum saving)
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
