I am 38 weeks pregnant with my second child and I have some questions about when to introduce a a pacifier or bottle. I breastfed my daughter for a year, and because I waited to introduce a bottle and pacifier, she never took either. She did finally go for a bottle around 10 months, however.
I plan to exclusively breastfeed again, but this time I want my son to be able to take a bottle of breastmilk so that I can get away for a few hours without worrying about him getting hungry and needing me. I also want him to use a pacifier because my daughter used me to soothe herself. That means that she was CONSTANTLY nursing. I'm talking every-hour-on-the-hour for the first six months. And I am not exaggerating!
So when should I introduce these things to him?
