Hi mummy, I’ve been facing the same problem as you since my son is week 2. He doesn’t cry every hour but would not sleep in the day and wants someone beside him 24/7. If not, he’ll start bawling and trust me it’s a nightmare. If we’re lucky he gets an hour nap in the day and some cat naps here and there. Only the nanny would be able to pacify him. I introduced the pacifier to him at week 2 thinking this would be a foolproof method to calm him down but it turns out he doesn’t really like it! 🤔
He’s still having this issue now at week 4.
If you can hold it out I’d recommend not introducing it if you can. But if not, perhaps you can introduce at week 2 when he’s established a breastfeeding schedule so he doesn’t get nipple confusion. If you’re nit breastfeeding I guess we have no problem! You must also remember your sanity is equally important and if pacifier is the way to go then so be it.
Happy mommy = happy baby!
