Time to use baby pacifier
Pacifiers are indispensable for some babies, but the time of use must also be controlled. In the first 3 months of life, pacifiers should be avoided as much as possible. Because when a baby is just born, the breasts need time to adapt to breastfeeding. Feeding him too much lactose will not only make the baby dependent on the pacifier, but may also affect the milk source. After 3 months, the baby\’s swallowing ability and mouth patterns are established, and the use of pacifiers will be more appropriate.
Precautions for baby pacifier
Although pacifiers can be very useful in some situations, there are some issues to be aware of when using them. First of all, baby pacifiers are personal items and it is best not to share them. Secondly, pacifiers should also be kept hygienic and cleaned and disinfected regularly to reduce the risk of infection for your baby. Also, if your baby starts swallowing the pacifier, it is recommended to stop using it as soon as possible.
How to choose a baby pacifier
Choosing the right baby pacifier can effectively reduce your baby\’s anxiety. When choosing, you should pay attention to factors such as the material, specifications, and shape of the product. Generally speaking, the baby takes a short time to accept a pacifier, so it is recommended to choose a pacifier with a small diameter and a short length. In terms of materials, it is recommended to choose natural latex or silicone materials, which can effectively reduce irritation to the baby\’s skin.
Alternatives to baby pacifiers
In actual use, other methods should be used to comfort the baby when a pacifier is not suitable. For example, you can coax the baby appropriately, hug or sing in a softer voice, etc., while giving a certain sense of security and making the baby feel at ease. In addition, you can also choose some alternatives such as comfort blankets or other comfort toys.
Summary
As a baby comfort product, pacifiers must pay attention to some issues when using them. For the health and safety of your baby, try to avoid using pacifiers in the first 3 months of life. It is best to obtain the consent of your doctor or family doctor before using them. In addition, if you choose a suitable pacifier correctly, you can also use other soothing alternatives later to give your baby a better sense of security.
