My daughter sleeps with hers every night. She didn’t the first couple of months because she didn’t really care for it! But she is 7 months old and can’t go without it during the night. They eventually spit it out during the night

I’m sorry but some of these questions make me really question if they should be having children.

My kids never liked pacifiers. But if they were to sleep with one, I would get the pop pacifiers. They stay clean longer cause it pops back into itself when it falls out of their mouths.
They say sleeping with a pacifier helps reduce the risk of SIDS but I would make sure it doesn’t have any rips or tears(especially if baby has teeth) as it could then be a potential choking hazard.

Actually is a good thing. Helps prevent sids in some cases. Reflexes them to breath.

Mine did from the time he was 3 days old until he ditched it for his thumb.
My oldest had to have one. Second would not take it. But man what I wouldn’t give to trade my youngest two’s thumbs with one. I think binky is way better than those! 
All 3 of mine slept with theirs
Yep. My son had the one he was given while in NICU until he was almost 2 and he finally bit a hole in the end…he wouldn’t use any other kind, so he decided he was done with it 
My kid sleeps with 3 lol one in his mouth and on in each hand he’s 14 months now (preemie baby though) and can’t sleep without them

None of my kids liked them or their thumb. They lived for a bottle or sippy cup. 
They are all fine and healthy.

My little one sleeps with a dodo but be prepared to be spending your entire night staring at them waiting for it to pop out their mouth and having to put it back in

I have 3 girls. 2 out of 3 slept with pacifier.
All three of mine did the hardest is getting them to let it go my first was easy she gave it up no problem my almost 3 yr old won’t sleep without it still but will at daycare 
they don’t give it to her maybe I should be stronger but it’s harder because I have a baby who has one so she sees him with it and wants one 
one day haha

Yes! Sleeping with a pacifier has actually shown in studies that it reduces the risk of SIDS! I always recommend pacifiers for the first year if your baby will take it. My almost two month old won’t take it half the time whereas with my first I had no problem whatsoever
Definitely. It helped my son with his colic not sure why but it was the only thing that helped with night wakings I didn’t introduce it until about 3 months old. Glow in the dark ones are great for babies to be able to find them and pop them back in without you having to get up every few hours xx
Both of my boys slept with a paci.
This is so interesting! Does anyone know why it reduces the risk of SIDS?
