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?

please stay away from giving a pacifier, and instead breastfeed your baby instead! your baby is too small so please keep feeding on demand. i know it will be really difficult, but at this age, i breastfed my babies almost all the time. they would barely take an hour's break and ask for a feed again. so do it. rest well and eat well and keep feeding. it's something you will have to go through for 6 months, but please don't get your baby in the habit of a pacifier.
