As soon as possible! In fact, after a few month, try to take it away, since pacifiers are know to cause tooth problems. We stopped giving our daughter a pacifier after around 3 months old.

when they start walking, or attempting to walk. I think it should be no later than a year.

Dear dramaqn,
There is no set time to take it away...every child is different. Some need the extra security it brings. So if you feel you need to take it away make sure you offer another form of security. It's safe to say by the time they start school they won't be using it. A very nice idea when the time is right is to gather them all up and tie some big balloons to them. Tell your child that the babies up in heaven need them now and let the child set them free.
Sue....good luck
