Ammon – The use of a pacifier may be helpful for some babies in calming them down and helping them sleep, but it can also cause some problems when used incorrectly or in an excessive way.
If you are planning to use a pacifier for your baby, it is recommended that you consider the following points:
1. Choosing the right pacifier: It is preferable to choose a pacifier made of silicone or other safe materials that are free of harmful substances.
2. Avoid yellow rubber pacifiers: It is best to avoid yellow rubber pacifiers, which may contain harmful substances and quickly deteriorate.
3. Avoid immersing the pacifier in harmful substances: the pacifier should not be dipped in any harmful substances, and it can be dipped in breast milk or clean water if you wish.
4. Clean the pacifier regularly: The pacifier should be cleaned regularly using hot soapy water, and dried thoroughly after cleaning.
5. Avoid placing the pacifier around the neck or fingers: The pacifier should not be placed around the child’s neck or tightly attached to his fingers, to avoid any danger to his safety.
6. Avoid excessive dependence on the pacifier: It is recommended to reduce dependence on the pacifier after a certain age to avoid any problems with the development and growth of the mouth and teeth.
We advise you to see your child’s doctor for proper advice on the use of a pacifier and to accustom your child to it properly and safely. The goal is to ensure that the use of a pacifier does not cause any health problems for your child and is within the appropriate limits for his age and development.
