Introducing pacifier (is it wrong?)

[jorhat]

Hello everyone...
my LO is cluster feeding and its been 2 months... i went to peads and he refused to give top feed and said everything is okay but he is mismanaged... and asked to soothe baby with pacifier... can i make his routine by giving pacifier and giving milk every 2 hours or it will cause my milk supply to get low? As cluster feeding is very hard on me now

Nothing wrong with using a dummy. It’s can help if the baby wants to suck rather than actually being hungry. It’s definitely worth trying. I formula fed so and of my baby was cluster feeding after a while I’d pop a dummy in to see if that helped. I also find them really helpful as a sleep association

Agree with a dummy as a sleep association! I dont think theres anything wrong with them. I really dont understamd the guilt in this country (UK) around dummies.
