Pacifier to calm my baby
Hi doctor,
My baby is 3 months and 17 days old. He is on bottle feeding. Can I use a pacifier during night time to calm him and make him sleep more only during night?
Please suggest.
Thank you.

Yes you can, as long as it's not being used as a substitute for feeding.
Health Tips
Make sure it's cleaned well before offering it to the baby. Try discontinuing by his 1st birthday

If the cry is due to hunger at nights, a pacifier cant calm him down. So address the primary issue first.
