The most common recommendation for a newborn regarding a pacifier is to wait until the breastfeeding routine is fully established—usually the first 3-4 weeks. During this time, the baby learns to use their sucking reflex at the breast and the mother's milk production is balanced. If breastfeeding progresses without problems, pacifiers can be introduced after the 4th week. For bottle-fed babies, this waiting period is more flexible; observing for a few days before introducing is still helpful. When choosing a pacifier, single-piece, vented, and BPA-free models should be preferred, and they should be sterilized regularly. Using a pacifier during sleep is considered a factor that reduces sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) risk.
