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 just 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?

Latching is not possible to overfeed because baby requires quite a bit of effort for them to get milk from the boobs. They are v smart and are able to suckle to drink or don't drink Nipple confusion is also quite nonsense (according to a LC) - they will know that the pacifier is not going to be giving them milk and will spit it out if they are really v hungry.my boy had normal nipple, pacifier, nipple shield, bottle - no confusion
