Will you use soothers/dummies on your baby?

Question

Answer

I will try a pacifier. If they don't like it then that's fine.

Answer

I would love to lol. She will not take any and I've tried them all. Unfortunately she prefers my nipple instead 😪

Answer

I've tried a bunch but she just isn't into them. I wish she was but nope. Not interested.  None of the kids I know who have used them ever had teeth issues or anything. Plus it's wonderful to have a "shut up button" as my husband calls them.

Answer

I didn't with my first but he started using my boobs as pacifiers and refused to take pacifiers as I introduced them too later.
I'm planning to use them this time to avoid that issue and as they are recommended to reduce the risk of SIDS. Once baby gets teeth, they're going away.

Answer

I tried, he's not having it, lol

Answer

All three of mine used pacifiers. Only at sleep times. They throw out their own pacifier when they are about a year old. Mine have all been early talkers and their dentist is happy with their teeth. Some people have the misconception that they can help with every problem their child has but sometimes babies just need to suck and it doesn't mean they're hungry.

Answer

I will offer the pacifier. I did with my first. He wouldn't really take it though. If they take it then ok. If they don't, ok. He just will not get it past 1, just like a bottle. Same with my first. Once they are around 1 that stuff goes away.

Answer

Definitely not!! Absolutely hate them!! Midwife told me with my son I'd give in and use them. I said no way! And I didn't! I figure if baby is crying its a reason. My son cried for either food or nappy change. They cause speech problems and teeth problems. I saw a 5 year old have all her teeth removed due to using a dummy. I'm sure others have different opinions but these are mine!
