Yes, pacifiers can be used from birth.
At Medela Baby we designed our NEWBORN pacifier specifically for newborn babies.
If you are breastfeeding, research has shown that pacifier use in healthy breastfeeding infants, started from birth or after lactation is established, does not significantly affect the prevalence or duration of exclusive and partial breastfeeding up to four months of age. 1
However, you may prefer to first offer the pacifier when you and your baby are already comfortable with breastfeeding.
At Medela Baby we want our products to make every gesture more gentle, intimate and assured.
Baby skin is sensitive and we strive to make all our products as gentle to your little one’s skin as possible.
These holes together with our Sensopearls™ enhance airflow and avoid skin irritation increasing child safety.
Even in the unlikely event that your little one happens to get the whole pacifier into their mouth, the holes will allow air to flow. It is important not to block these air holes, for instance by attaching cords or ribbons as it might limit airflow.
