Famous Ukrainian pediatrician Evgeny Komarovsky does not consider the pacifier dangerous for the baby.
However, parents must clearly adhere to the existing principles of its correct use.Sometimes the sucking reflex in a child is very pronounced. And in such cases, the silence in the room comes only during feeding. The dummy will definitely help the parents.According to the doctor, it is undesirable to use a pacifier if the mother is having problems with the amount of milk.
Dummy rules
Komarovsky advises to keep the pacifier clean, store it in a jar, and clean it with hot water (sterilization) or other means before reuse.Some parents believe that you can lick the pacifier yourself, then give it to the child so that the adult's saliva will protect them. This mechanism really works in animals, but it is not suitable for humans. Parents can have bad habits, drink medications, even gum leaves a trace.
