Question Breastfeeding Moms: So my son is 4 days old; he is doing well at latching and eating (until he falls asleep). When I lay him down to sleep after diaper change, feeding and burping he is looking suck on something. In the hospital they gave him a pacifier without me know. Which I know creates confusion but that's the only way he calms down if he's not directly on the boob.
Any suggestions on what to do so hes not using me as a pacifier but he also not wanting to pacifier.

Just keep putting him on the breast. They use the breast as a paci, comfort, feeding, warmth, illness, etc.

I dont want to start that habit. My toddler did great without a pacifier.

All my kids have breastfed and used paci, none ever got nipple confusion. Your safe to use paci don’t worry.

Some babies need to suck. My last 1 is the only one who needs to. He started of with a binky. Now he sucks on 2 fingers. It is what it is. I fight that later on. He also was never confused.
