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.

My girl was addicted to her pacifier and I decided to wean her off when she was at age of 4/ 5.Just had to let her cry her hearts out for a few nights to a week especially before bedtime and at times in the middle of the night.It turned out fine after that and it was a success.Heartbreaking process but had to bite the bullet to see through it.
