The Pacifier


We have been told many many times the pacifier could solve the problems of a fussy baby...I don't believe this but there is some pressure from the relatives who have experience in "bottle babies"...

We have deliberately delayed the introduction of pacifiers to DS - to avoid nipple confusion - until 6 weeks (as recommended by some lactation consultants who really support breastfeeding) when proper latching-on has been established...

but...after several attempts...

...DS doesn't like the dummy at all - just blow it away.


I don't mind this - as research has shown that the pacifier is associated with early weaning of breastmilk. I don't want this.
