This is my fifth, and by far most suckiest (as in he is always looking to suck) baby yet. He is ALWAYS looking for his hands to self settle but can't quite yet. He can't self soothe (I imagine once he finds his hands, he will be able to). I can rock him sometimes, but mostly he just screams until I offer the breast. I feel like using a pacifier would be a good option, but why do I feel guilty about this? At 2 weeks will it cause nipple confusion? Will it cause issues with milk supply? If hungry, will he suck on pacifier or yell out for food?
Why the guilt? It's silly, but it's there...
