Pacifier pops?

Question

So most people don't let their kids use pacifiers all the time, obviously. Or at least try to limit it. So what about putting water in the nipple, freezing it, and letting them suck it while teething?

How long would you let them do this if you did do it? It seems safe to me, I'm just wondering because some kids take longer than others. Is there a specific time you would let them have it/take it away?

Answer

Bad idea. It's dangerous

Answer

I never used a pacifier so when my daughter was teething I would either give her the teething rings that you can freeze or make her some healthy fruit purée Popsicles.

Answer

I would worry that the freezing would compromise the structural integrity of the pacifier. Like, it could cause the tip to come off and become a choking hazard. Use one of those freezable teething chew toys instead, but make sure it's BPA free.

I personally think the benefits of a quality pacifier is worth its use, but I wouldn't risk modifying it or freezing it. Good luck.

Answer

I did this with my son when he was younger and teething for the first time. He didn't like it at all at first.  But the problem wasn't the pacifier being cold it was when the water started melting and he was covered in water every time he bit down or sucked on it. Water all down his shirt.  I would have to change him every 5 to 10 minutes. After that I just stuck to refrigerating gel teething rings or the nuby teethers. So much easier.

Answer

I am personally not using pacifiers at all, but I don't think it's wrong to allow them for most people.

Answer

I don't believe in using pacifiers...there are other alternatives to teething

Answer

I would do it just for as long as they were teething.
