Parents: Why did you decide in giving your child a binky?

Somewhat. The hospital gave my oldest twin a pacifier. We gave the youngest her pacifier. Elizabeth(the oldest, the baby in the right side of my avatar) used to cry all the time when she lost her binky, now she just eats her hand until she falls asleep or calms down. Isabelle still cries. Elizabeth doesn't take her bink until about 15-30 minutes after eating(bottle). Isabelle takes it right away.
