Do u believe pacifier is not good for soothing, as it creates bad habit, and then later difficult to wean.

Question

I hear a lot from doctors old wives tales that it destroys shape of gums.

Answer

I don't quite understand the double negatives on the question really to answer the poll...

Answer

My daughter started sucking on her hands/fingers to sooth herself. We introduced a soother because it’s easier to wean her off of a soother than off of her hands. I didn’t want to introduce one but I don’t want her to be 4 years old sucking on her thumb

Answer

It reduces sids so it’s worth the ‘risk’ to us

Answer

I read the pros and cons and decided to give him one. Pacis can help reduce the risk of SIDS and can help babies with reflux keep their food down better.

Answer

My first used one. Threw it out of her crib at 6 months by herself and never wanted it back 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

We use knew only because of the reduced SIDS risk as well as his reflux issues. He doesn’t always use it to soothe.

Answer

I'd rather wean later than deal with a newborn that has no capacity to self soothe. Plus the reduced SIDS risk is nice. I have zero problems dropping the paci with my first just after she turned 1

Answer

Thanks for your votes everyone.

Answer

It does cause problems later but IMO it’s more important to not have them constantly screaming as a baby because at least when they’re bigger you’re not as sleep deprived and frazzled. 
I’d rather take the screaming fights getting them off of it as a toddler than having a newborn cry all the time when I’m already tired and overwhelmed.

Answer

I wish my LO would take one but he refuses!! Trying every day!!
