Breastfeeding and pacifiers
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
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 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
Thanks I really want to give him one I was just scared of throwing off his breastfeeding but that makes me feel better
when did breastfeeding mamas introduce the paci if at all? is there a special kind of pacifier you use?

this girl just implied if you give your baby a pacifier that means you’re a bad mom bc you’re “plugging them up & not finding out what’s wrong with them” mind you, this girl doesn’t even have any kids. Karter takes a pacifier when he goes to sleep & as soon as it falls out (which it always does) i take it away. other than that i KNOW what’s wrong w/ him. he only cries when he’s bored or hungry. so🤷🏻♀️ before you judge other mothers for their mothering how about you have some kids yourself first the...
