re: OT moms, why the reduction in titty feeding?

Aweeee!!! So sweet! She's beautiful :)

You'll be shocked in 6 months when she's using the same passifier and yet it looks tiny on her face. I remember how that one encompassed my baby's face as a newborn. Then a year later it looked like a toy passifier.

They grow so fast. It's devastating! :(

Absolutely nothing wrong with giving your baby a pacifier. If it helps to comfort baby, go for it. In the NICU those pacifiers are a baby's best friend. Why take away something that soothes them and isn't harming them? Better a pacifier...that you can get rid of as baby gets older...than baby finding their hands/wrists/fingers to suck on that will be much more difficult to break that habit. My baby sister(the one that is mentally challenged) did that as a newborn (suck on her wrist). She still does it sleeping sometimes....at age 27.
