My baby is finally wanting something to suck on. (9+ weeks) He hasn’t cared much for the pacifier, but we’ve tried since week one, and continue to do so. He will take to it maybe once a day. He just recently started getting his hand to his mouth, but I’d honestly rather him not get into the habit of sucking his thumb, only because I’ve heard how hard it is to break that habit later on. Of course if it happens, it happens.
We EBF, and he recently has started to suckle as if it were a pacifier, for about 20 minutes into his sleep. I don’t mind it. It seems natural and healthy. I’m trying to figure out if one day I will regret it, seeing as there’s so much against it on the internet, but I can’t really figure out why. Should I really not allow him to non-nutritive nurse on me?
