We don't document pacifier usage but do document that we educated about not using pacifiers/artificial nipples on the patient education part of the babies chart (we use EPIC as our emr)
The only time pacifier use is documented is part of the NIPS scale for painful procedures such as circumcision.
Hope that helps,
