"I've always rec that parents ditch the 
pacifier between 5-7 mo."

If you look at chart for ages of SIDS, it's not high until 1 month (which 
means they don't need it day one, and of course if they have a real 
nipple....) but then by 7 months the rate is quite low. Not to encourage 
the paci, but it's likely safe enough (just my conjecture) to drop it by 
then. Maybe daytime & monitored sleep practice to become more accustomed to 
no paci.
