Breastfeeding was very important to me and even though I didn’t do a bunch of research when I was pregnant with my first child, I knew that many professionals try to discourage moms from introducing artificial nipples or pacifiers to your breastfed baby for a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks to avoid nipple confusion. If artificial nipples are introduced to early, you baby may end up preferring an artificial nipple and may refuse to breastfeed. While, other babies have no problems with nipple confusion. All babies are born with a natural instinct to nurse from the breast, in fact, if you place a newborn baby on the mother’s tummy shortly after birth your baby will make their way to your breast. If you plan on breastfeeding your baby exclusively, it is up to you to determine what is best for your child and it is your choice to give your pacifier or bottle.

Comment by Aurora Prime on March 1, 2013 at 8:22am No prob, Christy. I'd hate to feed my babies formula as well. In fact what I had in mind while writing my comment was pumping and bottle-feeding only until the issue was over. C: No formula (although I understand some moms don't feel like or can't breastfeed).
Comment by Christy Garrett on February 28, 2013 at 8:40pm Thank you for your comment Aurora, you are correct. I know that I never had any problems really with nipple confusion with any of my kids but I never wanted to pump exclusively for them either. I was able to pump enough for my youngest while he went to daycare but I didn't want to image having to provide him with formula, I can't get passed the smell let alone didn't want to feed it to my kids.
