My baby doesn’t like pacifier

My daughter is 5 months old now, I have been trying to give her pacifier but she doesn’t like it at all. I am just worried there is no thing to comfort her when she cry hard in the future. (So far breastfeeding can calm her down, but I am planning to stop my breastmilk soon)

My is now 18 months, she has rejected when she was a newborn, till now she never used a pacifier before. She was a DL baby up to 15 months. She DL to sleep/nap till 12 months, then I use straw cup to let her drink fresh milk before putting her to nap in the afternoon. I started giving her soft toys to let her cuddle to sleep/nap. When she was 17 months, she started to enjoy bedtime story before she nap/sleep. So far no issue along the way as she grow without pacifier till now 18 months.

You are most welcome, hopes the sharing able to help you and your LO :) You can get a lullaby music machine and place besides your LO’s cot/bed. My girl has been listening since newborn, now she will request us to play for her to sleep.. Initially we also gave her small pillow to cuddle so that she will feel secure, yet the size won’t be able to cause her suffocation. Only after she was around 1year old then only we gave her soft toys to cuddle to sleep. Now she also will look for the soft toys when she wanna sleep. I think you are doing fine :) You are just preparing the best you could for your LO :)
