Are pacifiers bad for babies? Or is there a certain time to stop giving it to them?

I wouldn't just give it to them. If they do fine without one, don't introduce it. It can be one of the hardest things to get rid of

It's up to you personally. I'm not giving my daughter one I rather not start a habit then to break on. & I hate extra grown babies (2 to 3+) with them in their mouth.

I was mad when drs put one in baby's mouth when he was born and didn't even ask me

One*

my son had one then he stopped using it on his own at 4 months. then a friend of mine her daughter is 2 and still has one. so I guess it's up to you

I won't give my baby one. It was so so painful on me and my daughter to break her of them. I don't want that again

@mariedior, when my son was born he was constantly making a sucking motion with his mouth, at first I thought he was hungry so I'd try to get him to latch, I was completely against giving him one until I realized that he just wanted something to suck on, I guess he sucked his thumb before he was born and that's what he wanted something to suck on. He's 9 months old now and only uses it to sleep with.
