Weaning off pacifier

I started giving my boy pacifier quite early, at about 3weeks old. I was stress about the crying and felt very lost, hence i resort to giving pacifier to “calm him down”. Though my LO is nt very dependent on the pacifier but at times I can see that he wants something to suck (even though he is not crying for it). Sometimes he needs it to sleep, but sometimes he is ok without. How can I wean him off the pacifier and not affect his sleep.

I started 2 weeks for my newborn coz we couldn't take his crying murder... he only used it when trying to sleep. After fall into deep sleep, he will spit out... then one fine day not even 9 mths, he never look for pacifier anymore. Recently at 13 mths, we gave him suck a bit b4 sleep coz of his night terror. He found comfort in it. Same situation, deep sleep spit out.. we had also tried at times not to give pacifier.. so really depends on his mood. But I would say mine is not addicted.
