A. Stop giving pacifier when the baby is awake and distract her with other toys or other activities. You can even go for baby wearing to keep her comfy and feel secured. Restrict the pacifier to only naps and bed time. Once she us OK with it then gradually remove it during her naps and find some other means to put her to sleep like a mild lullaby or rocking your sleep or something else. Once she is used to it stop it during bed times. This may not be as easy as I have said. You may have to handle lot of crankiness and uncontrollable crying etc., on any case don't give back the pacifier after the baby has cried then she will get a cue she can get the pacifier through crying. Be stern and expect some bad days full of crankiness but the end results will be good. Best if luck to u.
