Are pacifiers good for babies?

Question

Answer

Pacifiers are great up to a certain age.  They have been shown to decrease the risk of SIDS and they help smooth babies by stimulating their suckling reflex. 
Using them after 12 months can cause orthodontic and speech issues though.

Answer

Our doctor told us  "you can take away a pacifier but you can't take away a thumb"... unfortunately my son refuses to take a pacifier of any kind but he hasn't started sucking his thumb either.

Answer

Shown to reduce SIDS risk, I would say they are good for baby.

Answer

My son had one and it literally saved his life. He would have night terrors and had sleep apnea. His doctor said having one saved his life. He had it until he was 3 and I could've cared less. He may need braces but he's alive and that's all that matters.

Answer

every child is different. some will take them and some wont. I only gave my daughter one because it reduces the risk of SIDS and I didnt want her to start sucking her thumb... u can take a nuk away but cant take fingers away. my boyfriend which is her father sucked his thumb till he was 12.. didnt wanna a repeat lol
