Experts have voiced valid concerns regarding the use (and abuse) of
pacifiers. Not only can pacifiers cause ?nipple confusion’ in an
infant, it is also associated with premature weaning. A newborn infant
is driven to suck on anything placed in their mouths, including a

baby, this drive to suck may become a substitute for feedings, since
the urge to suck is being satisfied.
