I didn't actively choose to not let him have a paci, we were just never given one and never really thought to buy one. He does fine without--sometimes sucks his thumb/fingers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808899 Sat, 25 May 2013 12:59:48 +0000 sslm 808899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. We tried at 3 weeks and now at 5 we keep trying but she isn't interested! Only my boob will do. Ack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808884 Sat, 25 May 2013 12:48:24 +0000 Weagle 808884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. She did on occasion form 2-4 weeks, but not since then. She loves playing with them, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808865 Sat, 25 May 2013 12:34:19 +0000 NovBaby1112 808865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, wants nothing to do with it, she prefers the real thing lol. We gave up trying around 5 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808848 Sat, 25 May 2013 12:20:27 +0000 Andrea 808848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No she won't take one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808834 Sat, 25 May 2013 12:10:05 +0000 ALV91711 808834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started to try around six weeks, he is now 9 weeks. It took about a week to find one he liked but he will rarely take it. Mostly only at bedtime but he needs help keeping it in his mouth. The rest of the time when we try he coughs and shoves it out of his mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808833 Sat, 25 May 2013 12:09:18 +0000 runsyellowlites 808833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She did... started at 2 weeks b/c we couldn't comfort nurse. She weaned herself at 7 months &amp; we just comfort nurse whenever she wants now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808820 Sat, 25 May 2013 11:58:24 +0000 meganmp 808820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried to give it to them at 2 weeks. Worked for DD, not for DS. It took using a different kind of paci at 1 month for it to work for him. (Side note- Mam pacis are the best!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808815 Sat, 25 May 2013 11:56:12 +0000 Mrs. Deer 808815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I so wish she had but she fought it like mad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808814 Sat, 25 May 2013 11:56:10 +0000 Katrocap 808814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At one week (per ped's recommendation) we gave DS a paci. It worked like a charm for about six weeks until he lost interest. Now he'll suck on it if you hold it to his mouth, which kinda defeats the purpose of the paci in the first place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808806 Sat, 25 May 2013 11:51:31 +0000 heffalump 808806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. We tried early and often, but she didn't want it. She's a thumb sucker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808758 Sat, 25 May 2013 11:07:03 +0000 mrskc 808758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He didn't like it at first. Then around 3 months he started taking one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808750 Sat, 25 May 2013 11:01:22 +0000 Smurfette 808750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, she wants nothing to do with them. Every once n a blue moon she will take a soothie if I hold it in her mouth for a couple minutes if she is hungry and we are in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808744 Sat, 25 May 2013 10:51:10 +0000 lomom 808744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He got one in the hospital at a day old. We give it to him to calm him while we're prepping a bottle and sometimes after a bottle to try to determine if he's truly still hungry or if he just needs to suck more. He also takes it when he's gassy. Sucking provides comfort and it helps calm him while he passes gas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808733 Sat, 25 May 2013 10:42:25 +0000 MaisyMay 808733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She got one in the hospital, around 1 day old. Now she only uses them for nap and night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808731 Sat, 25 May 2013 10:39:00 +0000 aprk 808731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! We gave him one at 2.5 weeks, and after being exclusively bottle fed him using a paci to help strengthen his suck allowed us to breastfeed successfully. Now he takes it sporadically when he is overtired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808729 Sat, 25 May 2013 10:37:58 +0000 hilsy85 808729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YUp. We started using one around 2 wks old I think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-baby-take-a-paci#post-808720 Sat, 25 May 2013 10:30:27 +0000 Ra 808720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If so, when did you start giving one to him/her? </p>
