In the hospital after my son was born, my wife and I were coached on breast feeding by the staff. The coaching was overall helpful; however, one of the recommendations was to avoid pacifiers. We endured two nights of crying in the hospital and a few more at home before giving in to the pacifier. It was a game changer, we slept well after that. Advice will come from people with beliefs that may differ from your own. Additionally, what works for some may not work for others. Here’s my advice. If your baby is crying and you’re not sleeping, make a change. P.S. Before trying the pacifier, we ruled out hunger as the cause for crying by supplementing with formula.
