Most experts recommend waiting until about the four-week mark before offering your baby a pacifier. There is a concern that introducing a pacifier too soon could interfere with an infant's breastfeeding latch, cause nipple confusion, or even cause a mother's milk supply to drop because the baby is sucking at the breast less.

It really depends on your baby. Because mine never wanted the pacifier after 1 month. And my thinking was I should have introduced it earlier. but some babies take it with no issue.

Hi mummy, try to wait for one month so that baby can get use to latching first. Otherwise might cause nipple confusion.

Whenever your baby needs to be soothed, usually go according to the age recommendation on the pacifier purchased

If you are breastfeeding, best to wait for a month before giving baby the pacifier.

Best to wait till at least a month, based on guidelines I found on a medical site.

As early as you want. I've seen some people giving as early as days old
