Pacifier ..a yes or no?

Question

Answer

From what I’ve gathered, there are more pros than cons.

Answer

Paci over thumb sucking any day. I have a kid that liked the paci and one that only does thumb, I can't take a thumb away and she always does it, it's drives me nuts

Answer

I hate them & will never use them. They may have benefits to some people, but I've only ever seen them as a way to get babies to stop crying. My son always had a reason to cry and would stop when that reason was fulfilled. We never had an issue with thumb sticking either. My nephew sucked on a pacifier until he was 3. They only got it away from him bc it gave him a bad rash that made him miserable for a week.

Answer

I try with every one of mine and they both hated it, I will be trying again. Although it is nice that I’ve never had to wean them off of it 🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

They’re not necessary. I’m a mom of 4 and the few times I tried my kids wouldn’t take one so I never offered it.  If you breast feed you are the pacifier ;)

Answer

None of my 6 kids ever took a pacifier. I tried, they just never cared! My last baby sucked her thumb until she was like 9 months old (still sometimes chews on it, but doesn't really suck it anymore). I asked her doctor if I should still keep trying because she just never cared & he said she may just prefer skin (the only one I breastfed the longest). My youngest sister however was OBSESSED with it until like 4.5 & my mom had to throw them away 🥴

Answer

I remember that at 4 I would suck my thumb and I’d get slapped in the face for it. I asked my mom for a pacifier and then I successfully outgrew them both.
