How long does it take to get pacifier dependent?

[Little Cub Pants]

Hi guys! So I just got my new pacifier in today and I LOVE it so far. The only problem is I can't seem to get a good suck on it. The nipple is made out of silicone. Anyway, does it just take time for my mouth to get used to it or am I doing something wrong, how long does it take for me to become pacifier dependent? If you guys have any tips I would greatly appreciate it.

Congrats on your pacifier arriving

What do you mean you can't get a good suck on it?

Will when it's in my mouth I have it in there and everything but sucking on it doesn't come naturally to me.

Maybe it'll just take getting used to

I bet you look super cute with your shiny new pacifier 🥰

Yeah, you're probably right, it's probably just something I'll have to get used to. And I probably do look very cute with my new paci in my mouth. I actually want to get more pacis and start a pacifier collection.

I sent you some paci tips hope they help you out! I think pacifiers are secretly the best thing to combat anxiety, they are called pacifiers for a reason! It should be suggested by doctors instead of pills… good luck baby!

How long does it take to become addicted to pacifiers:

I think it depends on how much you use it. I've been sleeping with a pacifier most nights for a few years now. Not every night, but 1-2 to 7 nights a week. I still don't depend on a pacifier to sleep most nights. Some nights I can't fall asleep without a pacifier in my mouth. Other nights I can't sleep with a pacifier in my mouth.

But I have days and nights when I really long for or need a pacifier to suck on if I have a panic attack, anxiety or feel sad, alone or little.

The best way to be more accustomed to the paci is to just relax.  That usually helps.
