So I've been breastfeeding off and on and she latched within minutes after birth right away correctly , she does better with the left over the right, she literally kept sucking just to suck and one nurse in recovery said its not advised for her to have a pacifier but I told the nurse in my regular room I don't see an issue with it she sucks her hand and everyone's fingers too 😂 what do you guys think? Once she got the pacifier she was like👼
Give her one if that's what you feel comfortable with. Nothing wrong with allowing her to use a pacifier! Lol your child.
Well, I'm not a nurse, but I've had 4 babies and Breast fed them all. Two were thumb suckers and 2 took pacifiers. I don't see the problem if she is latching properly and eating well. Babies like to suck. They will find something to suck on whether it be a thumb, fingers or a pacifier! You're doing great mommy. Congrats and Enjoy your baby!

I hate doing this to her but I really don't want her to suck her fingers. She sucks the middle and index finger. She refuses any pacifier I give her. She already has one tooth at the bottom and I don't want her to be sucking them when the top ones come in. The doctor said it's a phase and it'll pass but I'm afraid she won't and spoil her teeth. Did any of your kids just stopped by themselves or did you have to do this?
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
I don't want my baby sucking on a pacifier! Any ways around that?🤔🤔

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
I gave one to my son while breastfeeding and it didn't affect him latching or anything. He also did fantastic going from a bottle (when I wasn't there) back to the boob with no issues at all
