My NB is less than 2 weeks old currently on both breastfeeding and bottle feed. In the night she wakes up nearly every hour looking for my nipple jst for comfort. My confinement nanny says to use pacifier but somehow I don't feel too comfortable with starting a pacifier so young at her age. Does it matter how old a baby starts sucking on a pacifier?

Please ignore your confinement nanny! I've heard so many bad stories about their advice. Go with your instinct. At 2 weeks old, it's not unusual that baby wants to latch all of the time. It's for food and comfort, which you should give.
