To pacify or not to pacify

If your daughter, beautiful name btw, doesn't like them, why do you keep trying tout give her one? Honestly curious.
Forgive my misunderstanding, apparently I don't get the point of this thread, lol.

― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead 
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

Honestly curious. Because as a first time dad, doubts arise over those critters that are so deliciously looking. We do not impose them on her. It is the common culture that babies need them. Its what I am discussing. Basicly we addict a baby to that only to remove it later. 
As I said, so far, ours uses it effectively to calm herself down in some situations, but doesn't need it and get it all the time, and I would like it to stay that way. Maybe we can have a pacifier in some instances without her becoming reliant on having it all the time, so far it seems to work.

I don't even know if it's true, I just took her word for it at the time. That actually IS true, though researchers aren't sure why. My own personal opinion after an...interesting and enlightening first 2 years is this: Whether it's pacifiers, breast feeding, co-sleeping, etc...You do what works best for YOUR family (so long as it's safe of course) and screw what anyone else says! If the little one likes them and it calms her down/helps her sleep, go for it. Your sanity is top priority. Personally, we tried the pacifier many times with Christopher but he just never cared for it.

Wiser words were never spoken. 
My kid had one for at least a year.
My favourite was this one I bought that had a drawn on thick moustache. It looks so funny on a baby girl. My ex didn't have much of a sense of humour so it didn't see the light of day too much. 
Oh, my !
MANASSAS, Va. – A Virginia woman has been charged with child abuse after authorities say she tried to calm a 3-month-old baby by administering the opiate methadone. The Manassas City Police Department said Friday that the baby was admitted to a local hospital on Dec. 3 in respiratory distress. Tests showed the infant was under the influence of methadone, which is used for controlling opioid addiction. Police spokeswoman Adrienne Helms tells the Washington Post an investigation revealed 31-year-old Jessica F. Nicholson orally administered the drug in an attempt to calm the baby. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
Maybe she should have tried a binky (pacifier) first. Gawd people are so fucking stupid.
Savannah had one. But only because she started getting colicky and I needed sleep. Then she wouldn't part with it. I tried everything. Finally, I told her that if she wanted to go to school (pre-k), she had to stop using it. She handed it over. Jordan just sucked on her thumb. Even in the womb. So she came with a built-in pacifier. Sucked on her thumb for several years. When she got tired, she would do that. It was our message that she wanted sleep. She was 14 when she finally stopped.
