I have to start off by saying that last night was the most difficult night we have had since we brought our now 17 day old from the hospital! Nothing would soother her. For 9 hour straight, all she wanted was to be on my boobs!
At one point, when we were changing her, and she was just screaming (so loud we were sure she would hurt herself) we gave her a pacifier. She sucked on it for a few minutes, and looked quite perplexed by the whole thing; although it did soother her. Within 10 minutes, she was back to breastfeeding, and didn't seem to be phased by the transition between. My big concern is nipple confusion between the paci and breastfeeding.
My question is, when did people start using pacifiers with their little ones? And also, when do you use them? Just during changing times? Overnight? Everywhere inbetween?

We started using a paci in the hospital on day 2. We haven't had any issues with interfering with BFing.

I used a Nuk pacifier the first day at the hospital and still was able to breastfeed. He didn't seem to hold it in his mouth for very long.. like 10-15 minutes at a time and was always trying to turn it so I changed it to the MAM pacifier which I love
We are so thankful that our second daughter, Lillian Elizabeth "Lily", was born healthy and happy on February 11, 2013. We love her to pieces.
We lost our first daughter, Hannah Grace on May 4, 2011. She was buried on May 14 during a beautiful service at my home church. We are grateful that if she could not be here with us, that she is healed and whole with the Lord. We look forward to the day when we will get to meet her. We love her so much.
