No, not all newborn need pacifier. When my girl was a newborn she cried a lot due to colic and reflux, tried to give her pacifier(reluctantly) during the first week, but she rejected. Since then didn’t give her pacifier at all, she was direct latch till I weaned her off completely when she was 15 months(when she started to bite....). Then she drink water and milk from straw cup or cup. She also never used a bottle before since she direct latch. And yes, pacifier may affect teeth growing when it’s prolong usage.
