Hi Everyone - Hopefully this hasn't been covered already - if it has - I apologize in advance for duplication!
I am attempting the pat/shh on my 7 week old for the first time this week, and am finding that he responds well when I give him his pacifier. Is this horrible? I've read that infants have an inate need to suck and that it is a way that they soothe themselves - so I would think that denying him the pacifier would not be beneficial...
Any advice would be fantastic.
thanks,
