Hey all you breastfeeding mamas are you giving your baby a pacifier? I'm scared to give mine one because I read it can mess up their latch

I gave my daughter one (she's 3) almost from the beginning and she never had latch issues.

Thanks I really want to give him one I was just scared of throwing off his breastfeeding but that makes me feel better

We use one here and there and it hasn't caused any issues.

My daughter is a week old and I had to start giving her one at 3 days old cause she was using my breast like a binki. I was afraid she wouldn't breast feed well either but have had no problems!

It depends on the baby. You can't predict I gave one to all my kids never had an issue. But this baby omg. I gave him one even though the hospital recommended not to. I thought well this is not my first and I have done it with my other kids(5) so gave him one. On day two he would not latch on and it was horrible. I almost gave in to giving him formula. I have now taken away the paci and I don't know if I will give it back. He is 10 days old today. I think I'm too tired to count lol

I gave my son one after a few days and breastfed him for a year. Never had any issues.

Both mine would have issues latching after using a paci, but only for the first few days of their lives. Once they were about a week old and had got the hang of bfing, they did just fine with them. Maybe try it and see, if they have any trouble latching at the next feeding wait a bit longer

It's recommended to wait 2 weeks before giving a pacifier to avoid latch issues. But like other people have said every baby is different :)

I was wondering the same thing and what brands they recommended?

My first was a breast baby and hated the paci
My second son is a breast baby and loves his paci and he has a great latch

I tried to give both my kids one but neither of them took to it. I'm actually kinda glad because we didn't have to go thru any attachment issues. That being said, they are both severely attached to their blankies tho lol!

We started this baby at 1 week and he hasn't had any issues. I started dd at 4 days but she was never a big fan

We've had the best luck with mam with both kids

I offer it occasionally but she really isn't interested in it. She's nursed like a champ since the beginning.

My kids all had them after being born and no latch or nipple confusion issues!

We have used from day one. I think it's a positive thing cause it helps calm baby!!
