Re: I don't know how to train my son to get rid of the pacifier.

My son is near thirteen month old now. He can fall sleep by his own
with a pacifier and a night-light. Now a friend told me if a baby
sleep under a light, his vision would be spoiled. But if I turn off
the light and take away the pacifier, he wakes up more times than
normal and becomes very fussy. I think I must train him to change his
habits, but I can't bear his cry over an hour at midnight. I don't
know how to do the training.

There was a study a couple of years ago, that did cause some concerns
about allowing children to sleep with a nightlight, however there
were some concerns about the design of the study. So no-one is certain
whether there is a real concern or not.

It's fine for you to decide to change your kid's habits, but I wouldn't
do both at once. But its just as fine to leave them.

FWIW, my kids still have light in their rooms - from an open door into
a lighted hallway - and they are long past the baby stage.
