so Riley Ann is a few days shy of 3 weeks old. i am pretty sure we are dealing with reflux which leaves her super fussy all the time. after 3 days of not being able to put her down without her screaming, we are breastfeeding and she wants to be on allll the time. i gave in and pulled the binky out. she loves it. i feel like a horrible mom for introducing it so early. i'm so upset about this and im not exactly sure why.....i have never judged people for using them. my take was "whatever you need to do" sorry for any grammer and caps im doing this one handed....i think i just need sleep
Re: my first fail as a new mom

My son was born on Thursday and has been in the NICU since. When I went down to visit yesterday, he had a bink in his mouth. They never asked if it was okay and introduced it but quite honestly, I don't mind at all. It makes him happy and is said to help reduce SIDS risk.
Not a fail at all!!!! My boys all use/used pacifiers until they found their thumbs and I had/having no problems BFing. Be advised you may be entering the 6 week growth spurt marathon feedings (I promise it will end) but until then it is really time consuming.
Good luckk
