Pacifiers are preferably to be avoided as they are a source of infection.  Breastfeed the baby adequately. As babies they tend to cry. If you are unable to console the baby within half hour it requires attention or else its fine 🙂

Hi! Ideally pacifiers are not recommended at any age. They are the major source of infection.when a baby cries it can be for feeds ,any wet nappies, tummy colic etc . Few babies get consoled with mothers touch or when taken In lap etc. Check for any of these.
