[QUOTE="t~ProudMommy~t, post: 2523678, member: 861682"] A breastfeeding consultant told me to wait 4 weeks at least before offering a pacifier or bottle. At the hospital however the nurses offered my son a pacifier and he really didn't want it, but did take it a few times. He never got nipple confusion or anything like that. The day I brought my son home, because of some complications he was rushed to the ER and then air lifted to Children's hospital where he stayed for the first week of his life. During his stay there because of engorgement I had to pump, and despite me asking them not too the nurses began giving him bottles when I would have to leave the room and offering him pacifiers. I was scared that because of this he would not latch on again, but he had no problems continuing to breastfeed. My first son however got nipple confusion by introducing a bottle and pacifier that early. So it really varies child to child. [/QUOTE]
