I was very anti-paci with DD#1 until she kept crying and crying the very first night in the hospital. I tried everything and nothing helped. Finally I gave in. She was happy as a clam once I gave her a paci. She also gave it up on her own at around 6 months. This time around I plan to see how things go. It is important to let baby comfort nurse, especially in the first few weeks, but a paci every now and then is okay too (IMO).
