I don't allow pacifiers past the age of one here anymore. Too many hazards with teething children in my opinion.

I have one little girl that would come in with it in her mouth and once her parents left, she'd hand it to me to put in her bag. I would tell her parents this and they just shrugged me off and would walk in the door at night and pop it back into her mouth.

I think you need to do what makes you feel comfortable while the child is in your care. The parents will realize that if he can go hours at your house without it, he'll be just fine at their house without it.
