Detailed explanation-1: -Keep it safe. Replace pacifiers often and use the appropriate size for your baby’s age. Watch for signs of deterioration. Also use caution with pacifier clips. Never attach a pacifier to a string or strap long enough to get caught around your baby’s neck.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most important risks of this non-nutritive sucking habit are failure of breastfeeding, dental deformities, recurrent acute otitis media, and the possibility of accidents. The development of latex allergy, tooth decay, oral ulcers and sleep disorders are other problems encountered with pacifier use.
Detailed explanation-3: -The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends waiting until your child is at least 12 months old before you wean her from her binky. That’s because pacifier use at nap time and bedtime lowers the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
