(Not sure where to post this question)
Wondering what experiences have been with using Pacifiers?
Recently, my 4.5mo old LO had her first cold. In my attempts to soothe her, I offered her a binki which she until then always rejected. To my surprise she took it.
Now what I am wondering is if I should continue using it? My first child never took one, so I have no idea how to use one "appropriately". I know Tracy has some strong opinions on pacifier use, so I am hesitant to make it a habit.
Is it a good idea to offer one when going to sleep? I just did and she dozed off a few minutes later. Yay, I think.
Also, what about in the middle of the night? She wakes up a lot (I'll post my questions about that elsewhere) and when I've given her a binki, she's happily taken it and gone back to sleep.
So, before I get too dependent on it, I need some advice first! Thank you!
