So, Peanut does not like pacifiers. I have tried since she was born to get her to take a pacifier. I don't buy into the whole 'nipple confusion' belief. I think that only happens when their latch isn't good to begin with. But if they're nursing well, I see no problem introducing a pacifier. I believe in the statistics that prove a pacifier at bedtime can aid in the prevention of SIDS...of course, it isn't a guarantee, but it is a good aid. Just like not using a traditional bumper in the crib.
