Question about the dangers or benefits of pacifiers is the most heated debates in every family. And, while some believe that the nipple does not harm the baby, but only a soothing, especially when it sleeps, the others have a strong belief that the dummy can, at least, lead to incorrect bite. In addition, in the future to wean the crumbs to fall asleep without it will be very difficult. Weigh all the "pros" and "cons" pacifiers.
Based on the opinion of many pediatricians, it is clear that, not giving the kid a fundamentally pacifier, with time the child begins to suck on your finger as soon master this "science", as otherwise case suckling newborn will remain unsatisfied. And this instinct there is absolutely all infants, and to "fight" with him is useless - it runs only on their own over time.
Either way, the child will have something to suck, but it will be a finger or pacifier - a decision, of course, purely personal, but in the opinion of E. Kamarouski - known pediatrician dummy is more suitable and logical one than a finger.
Besides that pacifier soothes baby in her favor, you can also note the following:
- Contributes to the satisfaction of the sucking reflex
- It reduces pain, especially when teething
- Establishes a more restful sleep
- It prevents the appearance of bad habits that may stay with the crumbs of a lifetime
- Develops the muscles of the face, especially in infants who are bottle-fed
As for the opinion of the malocclusion due to sucking nipples, in its formation involves not only it. Where greater impact has genetics, as well as metabolism, promoting assimilation by the body sufficient vitamins and minerals, including calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D. When the teeth to bite the child begins to affect a sufficient intake of solid food.
The biggest challenge, according to many parents, is weaning crumbs from her nipples and it really becomes a huge problem for many families. Just to not worry about the "nightmare", parents decide categorically not give the newborn a pacifier. In fact, weaning from such familiar and dear to fidget dummies - it is quite troublesome, and most important, sometimes even useless.
Some children have a weak sucking reflex, and at others he is very strong, so the first part with a pacifier enough quickly, and the second, with a more stable sucking reflex may strongly demand their favorite "toy" and three of the year. But this does not mean that it will always be - the school exactly one of the children does not take a pacifier, so all the time and worrying about it is absolutely not worth it.
Every child is unique and one of a universal algorithm behavior does not exist. You just need to love their children, to listen to his wishes and needs and act on the basis of common sense.
