The lactation nurse said no pacifiers til 4 weeks but sometimes all she wants to do is suck and not eat so she gets mad and screams (in between feedings) but ever since I gave in and gave her one her latch has gotten stronger. Like she doesn't let go after 2 sucks. So idk to stop giving it to her or to let her keep using it 😳
Her helmet she got so she can be safe (as she told me) when she rides her bike and scooter lol
So my baby is 8 weeks old and is thriving with weight gain each doctors visit. So here is my question: around 4-5 hours at night for sleep she wakes up every night and sucks on her thumb. (She finally this week likes it to soothe her during nap times) her eyes are still closed and she moves around and sucks it. I wake her to feed her. My question is should I just let it go? And see if she is just soothing herself to sleep? I don't want her to stave by morning if she sleep a couple of more hours. What would you guys do?
So lemme get this straight ML is made at @aliciaandray because she referred to her n her dude as colored?????? Yet she has a different shade as well so she in the coloring box too so what's the problem did she call y'all kids colored or anything??? I'm confused as to y so many ppl care low key
My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤
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

The pacifier is an imitation of what nature gave to us "BREASTS"
Babies suck for comfort and in no way are you spoiling your baby. At this stage you are building trust and a bond. Let her suckle away.

@arivera64, yeah I feel like with out it it would have taken forever for her latch to develop

And you CAN use a pacifier. Just use the same one. It's best usually to wait so they don't get nipple confusion and disrupt how she latches to your breast, but some babies don't get affected. Mine never did

If it helped her get better at sucking then maybe u should use it....

Im proud of you! Our bodies were made to do this, but that doesn't mean we know how or that it comes without hardships. Im really pro breastfeeding and i try to encourage new moms who are trying not to give up. It's hard at first, but if you can get through the first week, you can get thru a yr or more. My little guy is 2 and we're still nursing

I never gave my son a pacifier... It helps make your milk come in faster the more baby sucks. You got this mama!
