pacifier

My LO is 4 weeks, how do I get her to take a pacifier. I try but she spits it out and cries so I stop. She comfort sucks a lot lately and wanted to give myself a little break.
thanks

    Maybe try a different brand to see if baby likes it....my son was not a fan of the hospital soother but liked mam pacifiers....

    If she doesn't like it, she doesn't like it. You're not going to get her to take it more than likely. They either like it or they don't.

    This. I tried 3 different brands with him bc he also sucked all the time. I gave up on the pacifier and he stopped comfort sucking so much. Now at 12 weeks, he only does that before bed.

    My first DD never liked them and this one took to the soothie they gave her in the hospital. I use that one every now and then but some babies just don't like them period, I'd suggest as above to try another brand or two but if nothing works just know it's ok.

    Try a couple of brands. Another shout out for MAM brand here as well. DS1 loved pacis until 9months, DS2 never liked them and DD has taken to them.

    My son now at 9 weeks, always refused any brand of pacifiers, sucks on his fingers lately. Before getting to sleep he attached to my breast, even when he is full, and keeps it into his mouth as though it is a pacifier. Now it has become a trend for him. Though he may not be hungry, I took him to my breast and he sucks one or two and falls into sleep.
