I read/heard a month. I gave my daughter one at a little over three weeks. I noticed she always wanted to suck on things even when not hungry. She would suck on her own hands and peoples fingers. I had not had any breastfeeding problems so I gave it a try. She is very happy with her paci and still feeds very well.
thanks @everyone ! My baby seems to want to bf allll the time so Im thinking maybe she just wants to suck? Shes 8 days old now. I might wait another week though
My girl is 3 1/2 wks and I broke down and face her one just before 2 wks. My lactation nurse said its best to wait 3 wks but its rare babies to get nipple confusion with pacifiers.
I gave my son one right away, he preferrs his hands tho, doesnt really like his bink all that much. My boobs make a better binki than anything tho... cept he pukes a lot lol
Im waiting till about 6 weeks. I have flat nipples and we still.struggle a bit at getting a proper latch going. Once I feel comfortable with the latch ill give him one
My daughter was in the NICU and they gave her a paci as soon as the cord was cut in the operating room. I think it's fine and the nipple on the paci is so different from bottles because nothing comes out of them.
