The fact that you'll soon have a new baby in the house will be an excellent opportunity to reframe the pacifier as a Baby Thing, but I completely understand if you'd rather have the pacifier problem over and done
with before the new baby arrives and you run the risk of sibling
jealousy / regression.
However, there are also the cases where circumstances ended up
with an actor's big break vanishing at the drop of a hat, like the actor who was cut from the cast of «Bonanza»
before his first episode even finished filming due to Michael Landon's
jealousy.
