My nb is 14 days.. I gave the pacifier to calm her down during night to fall asleep as she doesn't sleeps at night. My elder daughter also I did the same.

If your baby does not need pacifier best not to start...sometimes they latch on till later age and some say can cause buck teeth...

There is no exact week/month for a NB to be exposed to pacifiers. TBH, It depends on parents preference actually.

My mom kept stuff pacifier into my 5 day old. He doesnt take it well because his mouth was too small.

If you're breast-feeding, wait to offer a pacifier until your baby is 3 to 4 weeks old

Anytime. I gave both my daughter and son at 1 week.

I gave my lil one when he is about 1 month plus.
