For moms who got their babies used to the pacifier, got any tips for me? My older two didn’t want…

I just offered it. He wanted to use me as a pacifier so I figured maybe he'd take one. He ended up self weaning at like 4 months from it.

Can I ask why you want to use one.? They gave my daughter one in th2r nicu (against my wishes) and trying to take her off of it was hell.!

I tried giving my son a pacifier when he was awake and it never worked he only ever took it after he fell asleep.

We use mam brand it’s the only bottle/paci my son will take. He’s not huge on his paci so fingers crossed it’s not terrible to wean him when the time comes. But it did help in the beginning .

My daughter took one right away to calm her down. We took her off of it when she was 3. My son never took one at all and just used me as a pacifier

I don’t think there’s really anything you can do but offer it and see what baby does. My daughter took one here and there but then at 5 months started sucking on 2 fingers and continued to do that until we weaned her when she was 3. She has an overbite because of it. My son has absolutely refused pacifiers from the beginning. We tried all the different kinds. He just wants mommy. When he’s with the sitter he sucks on his thumb (sooo cute).

In my experience, either they like it or they don't. I'm so sick of moms bashing pacifiers though and bragging about not using them. PACIFIERS PREVENT SIDS so no I don't commend you for not using them lmao.

Thanks each and all of you ladies 🤗

Try different kinds some babies like different kinds I bought a couple different brands and wine I found out which one he loved the most I bought a lot of those. And it’s also hard for them keep it in for a while at least with my son. And my daughter. I gave up super fast with my daughter but now it puts my son to sleep without being on the boob. But at about a year he will no longer have one

Try different kinds but my baby ONLY like the nuk ones that the hospital has if you don't have one. She wouldn't take any other one. And pacificiers help prevent SIDS and ear infections for those moms so against it. They are helpful. And it not always hard to ween your child off it in. My daughter just stopped using hers on her own about a month ago. She got tired of it i guess and starting biting it til it tore then she threw it away lol

Why? Why do you want to get your baby addicted to sucking on a piece of plastic? A habit youll have to break them of down the road.
