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?

I am not for the pacifier so I didn't give. People can advise you for all they want on giving this lah.. doing that lah... but if you had in mind already not to intro pacifier..then stick to it. if u had plan to intro later, then do it later. Just feed her on demand as she might be going through a growth spurt. My baby girl went thru a growth spurt when she was abt 3 weeks old. She drank a lot a lot and nonstop during that particular week for for abt 4 to 5 days.

I gave my LO the MAM starter silicone pacifier as young as few days old and she has shown no sign of nipple confusion between pacifier, bottle feeding and DL. My LO is able to differentiate between these 3 items as she will spit out the pacifier when she's hungry! And she knows the pacifier will not be giving her any milk that she needs. Also, when I switch between bottle feeding and DL as early as when she's few weeks old, she is able to differentiate as well. Hope this helps!
