LOL!!!!Yes, 96 months old seems a bit old for a pacifier to me.
I would say the sooner the better based on the impact on oral health. Age 3 would be the outside high end IMHO.

My youngest used to suck on her right hand ring finger and middle finger both at the same time. She had sensitive skin so her two fingers got all red and cracked from the moisture and chaffing. When she was about two we took her fingers out of her mouth and showed her what she was doing to her fingers by comparing them to her left hand and that she was really hurting her fingers by doing that. So she looked at those two fingers for about a minute or so and immediately stuck her thumb in her mouth. Something we had never seen her do before. Luckily she tired of it within about a month and gave it up completely. During that time we never saw her put those two fingers in her mouth again and that was the end of it completely.Our girls didn't suck their thumbs or fingers either.
Oh boy, another parent overdoing just a "little"..no limit setting, can't imagine what this parent has in store for them for the "Fun TEENAGE" high school years.......2 1/2 would be a reasonable age to stop.My friends daughter still has one aged 8 and i said i thought that in the nicest way possible it was slightly ridiculous that she still had one. She disagreed however and said that a lot of her other friend’s children had them until at least 8?
