Answer 5

Soothie by first years. That's the one they give at the hospitals.

Answer 6

First off, YAY for breastfeeding!! Good for you mama!!

Secondly, make sure your nursing relationship is well established before introducing a pacifier. Given that it is, any are fine given the baby likes the nipple. I have nursed/am nursing three children and each have preferred a different pacifier without problems.

Answer 9

I would do whatever she would take.  My son only took the one from the hospital and that was it.  After it about 2 months, we tried giving him other pacifiers... and I mean everyone you see at the store.  He didn't take it but  he really didn't take pacifiers after he was 3 months anyways.  We were lucky.
