we used them for the first couple months for a bunch of reasons eg SIDS prevention, calming when being placed in the pram, but she’s not fussed anymore. she actually makes a face like 😖 when she feels the silicone in her mouth and spits it out

I did with all 3 of my girls. My oldest was the hardest to wean. That is only because her twin sisters were born when she was 15mnths. I had her off the paci and my mom helped us thr week before twins came and week after. She gave my oldest a paci. So.

My kids both didn’t get into them after they were introduced- they were also breast fed and so I don’t think pacifiers appealed to them- my youngest son kinda chewed on the side of one for awhile but it was a early teething thing so I just got him a chewy when I noticed.

I don’t see why not if the baby wants one. My first loved his dummy and second refused it completely. Why would the husband be against it? Any logical reason?

We never used one and it's fine.

We never used one. Frankly didn't want to use one and both girls are fine.

I did for one month and then removed it. He doesn’t suck his thumb and he doesn’t want one!! Someone I know uses it with their baby and their teeth/jaw don’t look so good (going on for 14 months). We didn’t care to use one for SIDS bc we had the owlet sock.

Prevents SIDs and it helps with sleep. I only use it to get them to sleep or when they’re sick or teething through the day. It helps her stay calm and helps her not nurse to sleep.

Pacifiers are a great option. It depends on the baby though. Mine won’t really take it. Very rarely but when he does it’s such a relief because it soothes him.
