Newborn and pacifier

Do you use one? How often do you give it to them?

All the time? Just at night?

Re: Newborn and pacifier

Miranda actually used a pacifier in the hospital once I had felt comfortable with her latching.

Then once we were home she really wouldn't take it and now that she is almost 3 months old she takes it again and I let her have it whenever which isn't all the often. I try to put her to sleep with it though because of the whole decreasing SIDS theory.

Yes we use one and he uses it to fall asleep mostly and once he's asleep it falls out of his mouth. They didn't give my son a pacifier in the hospital so we started giving it to him when we came home.

Both of my kids never took them. They really don't need them either so it works for me.

Re: Newborn and pacifier

my daughter only uses it to go to sleep at nite

Re: Newborn and pacifier

I use it to comfort Jack when he is crying. He ***** on it for a bit and then it usually falls out of his mouth.

I can't wait for him to find his thumb.
