charlie and olive never took to pacis. but my friends who have used pacis breastfed with no problems.

We waited to give him a pacifier. He has always been great at breastfeeding, even from day one. If DH took him so I could sleep, he just gave him his pinky to suck on and that satisfied him. We avoided the pacifier for the first few weeks until I was confident good breastfeeding was established.
He's had the pacifier for a couple weeks now (he's 6 weeks old) and is doing great. It's a lifesaver honestly, I wouldn't survive a car ride without it.

I am using the 100% rubber natur sutten and really like them. The only downside is that he can't keep it in his mouth on his own.

We are breastfeeding, started using a paci at 2-3 weeks (just during dinner or driving) and the only problem we have is that he spits them out immediately since he hates them.

With bottles (with slowest flow nipples) and paci's we have never had a problem with breastfeeding, he prefers boob over everything else.

LO is 5 weeks and we haven't introduced a pacifier and don't plan to. I'd rather not give him a crutch that we'd have to take away later. He tends to be hungry when he wants to suck, so I just feed him. I have given him my pinky finger to suck on a few times.

Baby Y got a paci around 5 weeks. He definitely had no nipple confusion. These days, I only give them to him for sleep, and he definitely doesn't need them to stay asleep.

We let LO use a pacifier only at night and he didn't have any problems with BFing. After a few months, we just stopped giving him the paci and he never complained or anything.

NavyBaby is 8 days old and nursing like a champ and we do give him a paci occasionally. He honestly won't take it if I'm within smelling distance though, lol, he'd rather have the boob. If I'm showering or napping he'll take it from DH and go to town until I'm available.

I introduced a pacifier at 1-week, and it didn't interfere w/breastfeeding. She's not a particularly big fan of it, though, and will usually spit it out after a couple minutes.
