Use a pacifier or no ?

I used to say I would not give my baby a pacifier but changed my mind really quickly. Whenever my little one is fussy I just offer a pacifier and she gets calm, on car rides, to fall asleep etc, it’s basically a self-soothing tool. I feel like there’s more pros than cons with offering one. My baby isn’t overly obsessed with it, so whenever she gets calm/fall asleep she’ll just spit out, I would say if you’re worried about baby getting to dependent on it try to slowly take it away when baby starts to get bigger.

I started off not giving baby a dummy she was fine without one, but finally decided to give it a try at 4w. Baby just wouldn’t settle when we put her in the car seat, so introduced the dummy and she took to it straight away. It’s not something we want to heavily rely on but it helps baby self soothe and she’s a lot more content with it. As long as baby’s happy it’s up to you if you want to give it x

My first didn't want one, but now I have newborn twin girls, I am 100% pushing it. It helps self soothing and helps settle a crying baby!
