Has anyone experienced low milk supply due to using a pacifier? (Not bottles)

Question

Answer

I have nurses three babies but for some reason the last time I just could not produce. I tried absolutely everything I could find. Food, drink, supplements, extra pumping...nothing helped. I eventually had no choice but to supplement (then I got pregnant 😬) and had completely stopped nursing around 7 months. I also had a horrible yeast infection for months that we could not get to go away for anything (sanitized  everything, ointments, medication, gentian violet, new bras and pads all day). I finally cleared up a month or two after he stopped nursing. I never gave my older two formula so it was a huge hurdle for me. Then I felt like I starved him for mo this because he wasn’t getting enough. I do not believe “your body makes what babies needs” when it comes to supply. Some women have too much milk while others struggle to have enough. I’ve never had issues with binkis being an issue while BF though.

Answer

It could very well be because he isn't nursing as much as he would had he not had it? Breast fed babies tend to eat more frequently then formula fed babies .. no judgement I've done it both ways and that's what my experience and research shows maybe offer to feed him more often worth a shot ?

Answer

I never went through that because my son refused to use a binky.

Answer

How does that work exactly? My son only takes the Paci when he isn’t sleeping well.
