We did get a pacifier for Olive when she was around a month old I think, a natural rubber one from Hevea.
I recall her liking it and it soothing her if she was fussy, but she never got super attached to it, and could never fall asleep with it – although I remember reading some studies that suggest using a pacifier while falling asleep can reduce the risk of SIDS.
We still have it, and give it to her now and then but she seems more interested in chewing on it and waving it around these days, instead of sucking on it.
