A pacifier can be a soothing tool for your baby, providing comfort and helping to calm them when they’re fussy. Designed to mimic the shape of a nipple, pacifiers can satisfy a baby’s natural sucking reflex and help them self-soothe.
➜ It’s important to wait until breastfeeding is well-established before introducing one.
➜ When choosing a pacifier, look for options made from safe, BPA-free materials and with a one-piece construction to prevent choking hazards.
➜ If you decide to use a pacifier, be mindful of not overusing it, as prolonged use can affect oral development and may lead to potential issues with teeth alignment.
