Should you give a pacifier to your baby?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pacifiers will not harm your baby. In fact, there is some evidence that pacifiers may help reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Breast feeding purist recommend to not use a pacifier since it could cause ni**le confusion. However, I believe that if you use the correct one that should not happen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your baby has a sucking reflex and needs to suck in order to calm themselves when stressed. Some babies are great at finding their fingers to do that themselves and others have a harder time at this.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My personal opinion is that it is easier to throw away a pacifier once your are ready. However, it is a lot harder to get rid of thumb sucking. Therefore, I do recommend pacifiers to my patients.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If your baby just isn’t that much of a “sucker,” he may not need to be soothed by sucking on a pacifier at all. Just be thankful that there’s one less thing to keep track of during the day, and just consider offering one as he is falling asleep. When do pacifier use and thumb and finger sucking become a problem?

If your child sucks strongly on a pacifier beyond 2 to 4 years of age, this behavior may affect the shape of his mouth or how his teeth are lining up
