pacifier use in infants

Re: pacifier use in infants

Thank you ladies. It seems to be the general consensus that its not good for the child, period. Although like Seebea said, mine only takes it for naps and bed times, not in between. I will also ask her ped at the next appt for her view on this but meanwhile can someone share ways to wean her off of it? How else can i soothe her for naptimes? I tried once and it was the most horrible 30 minutes ever of constant crying adn once i gave in and gave it back to her, she fell asleep within seconds of exhaustion. I felt horrible afterwards.
