Paediatricians DO NOT RECOMMEND PACIFIERS especially in babies on exclusive breastfeeding. It does not prevent digits sucking... The pacifier itself can be a source of introducing germs to the mouth... It usually drops on the floor and many mums don't sterilize it often enough. It does not curb hunger but tends to fill the baby's tummy with air. That's what they suck in while using the pacifiers. Generally the bad in using pacifiers outweigh the good." Hope this helps.

We do not recommend the use of SUCKERS, PACIFIERS, BOTTLES even :) and such for babies on exclusive breastfeeding....It can lead to what we call Nipple confusion and make some babies reject Breastmilk. It also tends to fill babies' tummies with unnecessary gas....as they suck in air.

Pacifier use during naps or nighttime can prevent sudden infant death syndrome. Doctors aren't sure how it works, but if you give your baby a pacifier while she's asleep, you might lower her risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) by more than half. Satisfy the suck reflex. Babies have a natural need to suck. If you're nursing your baby, wait until he's a month old to give him a pacifier, to make sure breastfeeding is well established. Some studies show that a pacifier at sleep times seems to have a protective effect against SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).
