Hi mummies .. my boy is 9 weeks old and im training him to sleep through the night. Past 2 nights, he ate at ard 1am and slept till abt 7am. However, he did wake up abt 2 or 3 times in the middle of the night and we just gave him the pacifier (he didnt slp with pacifier after the feed) and he did not protest for milk, continued to sleep. Is it ok for us to use pacifier to lengthen his sleep this way?

Poor baby. Got starved. New parents need to get educated about sleep training and stop setting unrealistic expectations. My MIL taught me cruel methods like letting the baby cry to sleep, don't feed the baby immediately cause need to let him wait, put him on the belly till he's tired and will fall asleep. A load of uneducated advice. It is not right to let your baby think that the pacifier is the answer to his hunger. One day, he will just suckle and stop asking for food.

No shaming? Look at your choice of words. There's shaming connotation in them for sure. Just because you may have read more articles about parenthood doesn't make you more knowledgeable and gives you the right to put people down. Stop feeling that you are the only one who know how to care for a baby!
