Cool that she was nursing on tv. Unsure of why its suddenly so important to have a paci. I understand some moms love to use them and some moms hate them. dd was never offered one and she is still nursing at 21 months without us ever having issues.
That is pretty neat. At first I hated how my LO became a paci baby, but now after seeing so many moms complaining or wishing they weren't a human paci I am glad he takes one. My first never took one...He was a thumb baby lol. He self weaned from the thumb around 15 months old.
Quoting Crystal_S:I know too many babes that start using their thumb to pacify themselves and then the habit sticks with them for years. A paci can be taken away - which can break the habit. Just my experience
Op it is suprising that the news would have a breastfeeding story. Hopefully bf becomes more common and accepted.

This is what my grandma told me. In fact, she tells a story of standing over her daughter in her crib, holding a paci in her mouth. when she was sure her daughter was asleep, she slowly took her finger off and ... pop... out goes the paci, in goes the thumb! lol...
I didn't offer dd a paci, but she didn't ever take to sucking her thumb either. I think she was nursing enough to satisfy her suckling needs.
