Yes, all three of my kids slept with them. I even got them to do binki when they tried to suck there thumb because its easier to take away a binki than a thumb.

I personally never gave my children pacifiers. I think it’s disgusting and kinda lazy way to comfort the child. To each their own though.

My pediatrician recommended I give my son one when he was having breathing issues. He took to it and kept it till he was 3. Perfect smile now, no braces ever, so it doesn’t cause as many problems as people like to tell you.

Yes! My oldest son had to use one to sleep, he had multiple in his crib so he could easily find one in the middle of the night. He’s now 7

My baby sleeps fine with a pacifier, I’m all for it! If there’s any objectections mind your business and worry bout your own backyard
Yes in fact the sucking of dummy/pacifier helps regulate their breathing and reduces the risk of SIDS
My first child never needed one. Second child popped her thumb in her mouth as soon as she was out! No need for one, as she was obviously a thumb sucker before birth!

Absolutely, it will generally fall out of their mouth and become half lost once they are asleep lol, some will even NEED something to suck on to get to sleep…so it’s best for mommy/daddy if they give them one.
Avent pacifiers are the safest but make sure you look at the age on the package bc there is different sizes… Studies have shown sleeping with pacifiers helps reduce the risk of SIDS… My first wouldn’t take them til about 6 months but it wasn’t daily… My youngest took to one right away then slowly weened off… I loved the wubby pacifiers bc it was an avent pacifier with an animal attached which help the not lose them… Dentist recommend no pacifiers or bottles after 12 months

My first two used them until about 3. My last baby refused to take one and I didn’t know what I was going to do. However, it has been easier than I could have ever expected. I didn’t realize how much the paci falling out at night woke up my first two!
From a person who once chewed gum through the night: it couldn’t hurt, and if nothing else you might be able to sleep better
My firstborn used one until he was about 6 months old, when he launched it out of his mouth… and out of of his crib. He never needed one after that.
Yes!! My daughter wasn’t even 24 hours old when I gave her one😂now she will be 9 months on the 30th and she can not go to sleep without it
Absolutely!! My daughter (now 11) couldn’t sleep without hers!
Both of my babies did, I’ve heard it helps prevent SIDS. But I stop letting them use it after they turned a year old, some people have a hard time weaning their children off of them but both of mine handled it okay
Once my children discovered it had no milk they wouldn’t use one. Lol

If you’re lucky they will! My 6 mo old will only take a bottle so I have to time it so she’s not getting too full plus u cant leave baby unattended with the bottle like the bink
My son sleep with it till he was 1 then after that when he was 2 he likes to hold it when he sleep

what an awful name must be american
Never judge a book by its cover, I had always talked rubbish about the spiritual healers because i was living a luxurious life with my husband and kids. I never believed that anyone can solve someone’s problems. I could rudely reply to the posts about the healers with insults little didi know that one day they will help me. It started when a strange disease attacked one of my kid for almost eight months. I visited all the hospitals in Europe but the doctors couldn’t see the disease. I went to pastors, Sheiks, Sisters, and priests but couldn’t see any change. I sold all of my properties and lost my business because I was charged lots of money. I went back to Zero. My husband was used to a luxurious life since he was coming from a rich family. He started losing interest in me, disrespected me, insulted me in our kids’ presence, all my in-laws hate me. I had no shoulder to cry on.I was left with no hope. The most heartbreaking part is when my husband started cheating on me with one of the member of Parliament which I won’t mention her name. I got depressed and tried to commit suicide until when my friend asked me to contact papa marere . I had lost hope and besides didn’t trust healers. I called them scammers. My friend used his cellphone and called him. he gave him a date to go to her office and on that date, my friend picked me very early in the morning and took me there. I explained everything to him. he asked us to go back and bring the sick kid and we did so. he cast his spells and after a few hours, my son was healed. And he also told me that my husband will return that he has settled that After a few weeks my husband came back home and apologized to me. he gave me a ring for my business and as I speak now am not complaining. I got back everything.+2348109805184 is his number for help. Email him via ( emezizispells@gmail. com ) he is INCREDIBLE.
Let your baby decide
Yes. Back in 05 when I had my daughter everything I read said that giving them a pacifier to sleep can aid in reducing SIDS.

Our great granddaughter took one and her mom wanted to take it away from her. She wouldn’t go to sleep without it. I used scissors to clip just a little bit off the end. I gave it to her and because the end was off there was no suction. She put it in her mouth and when she tried sucking on it, it immediately fell out of her mouth. She picked it up, threw it under the couch and never wanted it again.

My daughter does but she wouldn’t take one until she was 6 months and now she has to have it to sleep I use glow in the dark ones for bedtime cause she will usually wake up and she can find it easier. She only likes the mam pacifiers tho. She is 15 months now and still uses one
It’s a personal choice for you and your lil. If it helps both of you sleep, go for it! I found several pacifiers that my son could fit all the way in his mouth make sure this is not the case because then he could not get them back out and it was very scary for him.
Yes it stopped my daughter from sucking her thumb which caused my sister to get problems with her teeth
My baby preferred her fingers. Never liked the pacifier.
Yes, a baby can sleep with a pacifier. It just has to be a correct one: for sleep (the night ones) and for the age of the baby.
Also, has to be changed after 1 month, max.
I personally don’t push pacifiers on littles. It’s too hard to break the habit
Yes. Some studies show that they actually reduce the risk of SIDS too.
Yes, it is actually supposed to help reduce the risk of SIDS. My 3 kids never took to them though.
Yes but it usually falls out when they fall asleep
I’m pretty sure dummy’s have been proven to lower the risks of SIDs
I could be wrong
But both of mine had them
Yes they will pop it out on there own.
Yes, actually reduces the risk of sids
Yep, but breaking the habit is a beast…
Yes and it reduces the risk of SIDS
