Note: Thumbtack Photo - Abigail is 7 weeks old and we noticed she spat out her pacifier all the time. At first, we thought it dropped while sleeping, but then slowly realized she was rejecting bottle feeding and only wanted to breastfeed. At one point we had every single brand bottle/nipple, different flow rate nipples, and multiple different material and brand pacifiers. At 9 weeks she was 100% breastfed. We tried starving her, but after one full day her cheeks were no longer chubby and my heart couldn't take it.
