Question: how long should i wait to give my newborn a pacifier?
Answer: Sucking on a pacifier at nap time and bedtime might reduce the risk of SIDS. If you're breast-feeding, wait to offer a pacifier until your baby is 3 to 4 weeks old and you've settled into an effective nursing routine. Pacifiers are disposable. When it's time to stop using pacifiers, throw them away.
