Is it ok for newborn to sleep with pacifier?
My baby cries a lot if he doesn't have his pacifier at night. My mother-in-law says it's fine, but my friend said it could cause problems later. Is it really okay for a newborn to sleep with a pacifier?

My neighbour's baby used to love pacifiers for sleeping, it really calmed her down. It's often recommended, just like some grandma tips for sleep. Just make sure the pacifier is appropriate for a newborn.

From a health perspective, pacifiers are generally safe for sleep. It's like finding a good routine for your baby. Just ensure good hygiene, similar to how we maintain our gym equipment.
