Pacifier - Yay or Nay??

Hi mummies. My 3mth old bby recently has started to suck her fingers, I guess her way of self soothing. I'm thinking of giving her pacifier but not so sure as I worry it will affect her teeth later. Pls advise which is better - let her suck fingers or pacifier?

I didn’t give both my LOs pacifiers. So they never relied on it to self soothe. The finger sucking is much easier to wean off:) at 3 months, finger sucking is normal too because baby’s discovering the existenxe of the hands. But it’s really up to you:)

I gave pacifier now my baby 14 month she dont really rely on it. It depend how you give so won't be addicted

Pacifier is harder to wean off later , finger is better ...it will pass very quick
