@sh419ob I held out with my first for a month due to similar concerns and I regretted it. He wanted to cluster feed on me for HOURS every evening and my nipples were raw and so painful. He was basically using me as a pacifier.
Immediately introduced it with my second and had no issues with breastfeeding or nipple confusion (my first didn’t have any issues either).
I will warn it’s important to get them off it between 9-12 mos, otherwise it really starts to impact their jaw and teeth development.
