Getting a newborn to fall asleep can be a daunting task. New parents welcome any method that aides their newborn in falling asleep. A pacifier offers comfort to new babies and may help your newborn sleep.
A pacifier can aide an infant in falling asleep because infants often find sucking comforting during their breastfeeding phase. According to some studies, the use of a pacifier can prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. On the other hand, pacifiers can increase the likelihood of inner ear infections, yeast infections in the mouth and intestinal infections.
Pediatrician George Cohen warns that a pacifier should never substitute nurturing or comforting from the parents. If your baby wakes during the night, the best way to help your baby sleep is by holding, rocking or singing to her.
If you do use a pacifier, you will have to eventually wean your
off of it. This can be difficult if your child becomes dependent on the pacifier. But there should not be any long-term dental problems as long as the child stops using the pacifier by 5 years old.We're Mums Too! Email Our Experts Here & Help Put Your Mind at Rest
