Pacifier??

My doctor told me to avoid using a pacifier for the first 4 weeks. I breastfeed my baby and he sometimes likes to just sit there and use my boobs as a pacifier lol. Is it safe to use one right now? He's 3 days old.

It's "safe" however it can lead to nipple confusion. Him doing that will actually just help your milk supply. Your job right now is to relax and just let the baby nurse as much as it wants. It doesn't last forever.
