A. no need to use Pacifier. Pacifier may cause gas problem in babies instead try to remove hand from baby's mouth and try to distract their attention. if you must need to use Pacifier, prefer a good one

A. do not give pacifier instead slowly remove the hand. I did the same mistake of giving pacifier to prevent sucking and it caused nipple confusion and my baby stopped breastfeeding. took a lot of efforts to start it again properly.

A. no need to give him pacifier. babies at this stage will do this. but discourage him doing it. he will get over this gradually. pull out his thumb gently. if you give pacifier then it's very difficult to get rid of the habit later. so better to avoid it.
