We often see celebrity babies using pacifiers on TV or online, and we often have moms asking questions about baby pacifiers. So, how to choose the right pacifier for your baby? Why do babies like pacifiers? Sucking is the only way for babies to express themselves besides crying. Parents often see babies sucking on the nipple but not eating milk or sucking on their fingers, which is actually the baby perceiving and understanding the world. When can I give my baby a pacifier? Small babies, especially those within 6 months of age, need the help of a pacifier. They need a lot of special comfort and care whenever they feel bloated, hungry, tired, irritable or trying to adapt to environments that are new and unfamiliar to them. If the mother’s many ways are not enough to calm him, he will start sucking his fingers, and that’s when parents should consider using a pacifier for their little one. The purpose of a pacifier is to meet the baby’s sucking needs when he or she is not breastfeeding, and it is not a substitute for breastfeeding or delaying breastfeeding. The pacifier should not be used until the newborn has learned to suckle at the breast. Wait until your baby is at least 3 weeks old before giving him a pacifier because sucking on the nipple and sucking on the pacifier are different muscle jobs and introducing a pacifier too early will interfere with your baby sucking on the mother’s nipple and affect the successful implementation of breastfeeding. 2, do not hear the baby cry, immediately put the pacifier into his mouth for quiet. Observe and analyze why your baby is crying and then decide if you need the help of a pacifier. 3. Gently remove the pacifier after it has helped your baby fall asleep smoothly. 4. It is important to pay attention to the hygiene of the soother so as not to bring bacteria into the baby’s mouth. Clean and disinfect the pacifier daily and wash it immediately when it falls on the floor or touches something dirty. 5. There is no need to change different types of pacifiers frequently. Usually replace them once every 1 to 2 months. If the soother is aging, cracked, deformed and broken, replace it promptly. 6, avoid hanging the pacifier on the baby’s neck for convenience, which will affect the baby’s activities, and may even wrap around the baby’s neck or arm and cause an accident. 7. Don’t use the soother for too long, it is best to stop using it before your baby is 2 years old. How to choose the right pacifier for your baby? 1.
