A. Yes, you can use them. But please keep the usage limited. Otherwise the baby will be dependent and will not feel comfortable without it. Sucking onto a pacifier can lead to fluid collection in the ears which may increase the risk of ear infections. When a baby gets habituated to sucking on a pacifier, he or she may struggle to adjust to sucking from the breast. So it is best to accustom the baby to pacifier use only during sleep times. Do not offer a pacifier when the baby is hungry.
