I agree very much with what was written on cnn. At the end of the day the choice is yours.
In my experience, it did not interfere at all with breast feeding, and I had no problems weaning my baby off the pacifier.
The up side of using a pacifier, is that if your baby needs the comfort of sucking on something, if he or she doesn't have a pacifier, they'll end up using their thumb. In the end, it's harder for the parent to stop a baby sucking it's thumb (you can't remove a thumb!) :) and toddlers tend to get dirty hands from walking on the floor....so you can imaging what goes in their mouth then. :)
Anyway, good luck on your decision; at the end of the day you know your baby best.
