Will your baby take a binky?

Question

For various reasons I’m trying to get my EBF baby to take a binky and she wants nothing to do with it. I’m super frustrated because she just wants to use my boob as her pacifier all day and I don’t have time to have her on my boob all day like I did with my first 
Any tips on how to get a baby to take a binky?

Answer

My son likes the MAM brand best. We gave him one when he was almost a week old. He seemed to take it naturally. We are breast feeding but now he also gets bottles of expressed breast milk at night. Haven’t had any issues with confusion. I think the best you can do is offer it and see if he takes it.

Answer

My first daughter never took a pacifier, she was breast fed then bottle fed. Baby #2 also has no desire for a pacifier. I don’t push it though, it’s a habit I won’t have to worry about breaking.

My kids only would use the Phillips Avent green ones the hospital gives

Answer

My son will only take a tommee tippee closer to nature pacifier

Answer

My first baby would NOT take one. We wasted money on all the different brands and she refused. We also had a very difficult time getting her to take a bottle. My son on the other hand, will take any brand of pacifier and had his first bottle the other day with no hesitation. Every kid is different!

Answer

My daughter will take a mam pacifier but only for a few seconds.  She would rather suck her fingers.  Could you help your baby find their fingers?

Answer

Another vote for MAM both bf babies have taken them x

Answer

Mine son is EBF and he'll only take the avent brand. He makes faces and spits out all of the other ones I've tried.
