Introducing pacifier to a newborn. Yay or nay?

Wait until breastfeeding has been established. This could take days or weeks. Give the pacifier when the bottle or both breasts are drained, if your baby still wants to suck. Using pacifiers only at sleep times avoids many of the problems linked to its use. Also, don’t hold the pacifier down in the baby’s mouth to help her nod off. If the baby pops it out, which they always do, don’t pop it back in if they aren’t crying for it.
