When did you introduce a pacifier to your breastfeeding newborn?

Question

Answer

Whenever you want to. My first had a paci from the start, as did my second and third. My first didn't like it so at 3 months we rid the house of them. My second though was hooked and we took his finally away (lastly at night) at 2 years old. My third didn't love his at first, but he's a fan now at 5 months.

I breastfed all three of my kids exclusively. I've never found a paci instructive or disruptive to that relationship. You are the Mom. You make that choice.

Answer

Right away .... BUT only if she couldn't be pacified through another means or by sucking on my finger

Answer

2 weeks or a bit more.

Answer

2 weeks, because I had to leave him with my mom for an hour for a dentist appointment and didn't want him to have a bottle yet. He's 7 weeks and still breastfeeding like a champ. He'll also take a bottle of pumped milk from his dad!

Answer

The nurse at the hospital gave my daughter from the start but we never had nipple confusion.
