Pacifier is more for the parents' convenience rather than for babies. Babies don't need pacifier if they can be soothed by other means like boobies, toy, rocking etc. Prolonged use of pacifiers might hinder teeth development but if you wean before 1 year old should be OK. Introduce pacifier after 1 month to avoid nipple confusion. Some babies like mine don't like pacifiers at all so we just have to live without them! No issue so far :). The brand doesn't really matter but if you worry about teeth can get those orthodontic ones
