The reality is‎,‎ your baby has a natural suckling instinct and you can’t always be available‎.‎ Pacifiers are designed to satisfy that instinct and comfort your little one‎.‎ As long as breastfeeding is well established‎,‎ there should be no nipple confusion when you introduce a pacifier‎.‎ I suggest a one‎-piece design like the Philips Avent Soothie‎.‎ It’s made of medical grade silicone‎,‎ and it’s used by medical professionals to calm newborns in hospitals across the country‎.‎
