Pacifiers
Pacifiers can be helpful for soothing babies and may reduce the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) when used during sleep.
Avoid dipping pacifiers in sweet liquids like honey or juice — this can cause cavities.
Choose a one-piece pacifier that’s the right size for your child’s age.
Clean and replace pacifiers regularly — especially after illness or if damaged.
Try to wean the pacifier by age 2–3 to prevent bite changes or speech issues.
If you’re having trouble stopping pacifier use, ask BalloonDoc 🎈🦷 for gentle ways to help your child transition.
