My daycare kids are off bottles and pacifiers well before parents are ready to wean off.

Babies are 100% on sippy cups at 10 to 11 months old.
I take pacifiers away at the same time as I take away the bottle. They cannot keep their pacis with them, pacis stay in bed for naptime only.

I had one dcg 19 mo. I had completely weaned her off her paci at 11 mo.I saw the family at the store dcg had paci in her mouth. Dcm stuttered out well she just got up from a nap. Yeah right!!

It's just like Daycare said if you allow it then it is an option, as soon as you take away that option its not an expectation anymore.
