The meaning of exclusively breastfeeding could be interpreted as no other
sucking than exclusively at the breast. Sucking a pacifier would not be
classified as exclusive
I personally disagree with this statement re: pacifiers. Pacifiers (and
thumbs :-) provide non nutritive sucking. Exclusive BF is talking about
only receiving breastmilk, no other source of food. I suppose a baby can be
exclusively breastmilk fed also. Pat in SNJ, back from VELB.
