Default Latching AFTER Pacifier Use

So, it seems Morgan isn't sucking as hard as she was prior to the pacifier
being introduced. What can I do specifically to get her to suck harder?


I'm not an LC or anything, but babies don't necessarily need to suck *hard*
to get milk. Ideally, they use their tongues, in the same way one gets milk
from a cow's teat, in sort of a stripping motion. So it's not the suction
so much as the technique. I know I'm not making this very clear There's
a video of it on www.breastfeeding.com, I think.
