my husband has gone backwards

Ok so my almost 2 year old has never been a pacifier girl although when she was little we really wish she would have been :) but she has been a bottle girl.  she loves her bottle especially when trying to go to sleep.  I know you are suppose to take it away around 1 or so but she loves it and we let our son keep his till he was about 2 and he was fine.  Let me just say first that my daughter knows how to drink from a cup just to get that out of the way.  Ok so here is where my husband going backwards comes in.  My daughter had recently gotten a baby doll that had a pacifier and she was starting to put it her mouth and would carry it around in her mouth.  so my husband got the idea to buy her one yesterday and she has had it in her mouth.  I am not sure how i feel about this.  She doesn't suck on it but just keeps it in her mouth and will chew on it too. I know her teeth are bothering her and it seems to make her feel better and it's not like she has to have it in her mouth because if she doesn't see it she doesn't care but when she sees it she wants it. so I don't know.  last night she went to bed without a bottle but had the pacifier in her mouth which eventally fell out and she slept great. I guess we'll see how this goes did we just exchange one vice for another?
