In the early days, its fine to let your baby nurse for comfort, but it can become problematic as your little one gets older because he or she may need to nurse to take a nap or go to bed at night.

So, at some point in the second or third month, you should probably wean your baby off of sucking for comfort and make breastfeeding sessions about feeding rather than pacifying.

You can consider giving your little one a pacifier if you child doesn't seem to be hungry.

However, it’s best to do this after breastfeeding is well established after four to six weeks.
