Loosing the Pacifier

My son is 10 months old and he has started teething, Robert only uses the pacifier during naps and at bedtime. Can anyone suggest a gentle way to break him of it all together? I'd like for it to be gone before his first tooth comes in.

Replace the pacifier with something else that will occupy him at the time he would normally have his pacifier. Like a special blanket or stuffed animal. Most of the time a pacifier is all about security.

Thanks so much. I'll give your idea a try.
