Pacifiers?? suggestions for a first time mom??

megwesthoff

I have been of the opinion that I want to stay away from pacifiers. I don't want them to interfere or confuse with breastfeeding. I also do not want baby to become dependent on the pacifiers, I feel this is just another thing to "wean" off of and want to avoid any behavior problems this might cause. I have head multiple times in recent weeks that using pacifiers can reduce risk of SIDS, now I worry that we should use them. Do any 2+ moms have any suggestions for me??
