by 9 months you should be able to cut the middle of the night feedings. Try offering a sip of water (from a sip cup, not a bottle) in the middle of the night, rubbing his back, and then leaving (or get a partner to do this if he is attached to breastfeeding all nigth)

have you tried a variety of pacifiiers as some children will only take certain kinds. for example, my daughter only likes the MAM pacifiers.
