What age do you start pacifiers?

Question

I just had my baby and we read that you shouldn’t introduce anything but boob for at least a month. I can’t breastfeed so we are bottle feeding, which then leads us to believe we can also do a paci this young (1 week) as well. Thoughts? Too young to give it to her?

Answer

My kids got pacifiers in the hospital, they are formula fed as well

Answer

My kids never took them. They tried to give my son one in the hospital at 3 days old, but he wouldn't have it.

Answer

3-4 months is the earliest each of my kids would take one over a bottle.

Answer

From birth. Breastfed baby for a year.

Answer

We EBF and traditionally we've started around 2 to 3 weeks. The first few weeks for us, our littles haven't been super fussy to need one before then. We will play it by ear with baby 3.
