Is pacifier good for infant?

A baby does need a way to soothe themselves...but none of my babies really used the pacy. My oldest and baby do use their fingers...my daughter still uses her thumb. My baby uses his left finges for comfort. You'll just have to make sure you know that when they get older, getting them weened will be the hardest. My oldest son sucked his thumb for all of one week then he stopped. I tried getting my baby to the paci, but he rather do his fingers.

I recommend you wean your child from pacifiers as soon as possible or you will one day have a two year old running around with a pacifier.

It is easier to break a child of using a pacifier than it is to break them of sucking their thumb or fingers. Many times a baby needs to suck for comfort or to exercise the muscles associated with eating and speaking, so if your baby at 3 mo nths seems to need to suck more then giving him a pacifier would be a good thing. Just be readyu to wean them off by the time they are 2.

My pediatrician told me before not to use pacifier. It could cause gas and deformed the baby's teeth.

It's our family tradition that we don't allow babies to use pacifiers. I already have 2 nieces and 1 nephew. WHen they were still young, my Mom won't allow them to use it because they might get addicted to it and she says it's not good for babies. She said it can eventually make a baby's mouth portrude once being done always. Well, as to my part, I think it's just alright to let them use it especially that sometimes when pacifiers are put on their mouths, they would stop crying, right? However I still believe not to let them use it everyday, or every hour of the day. Just once in a while. :)

There's nothing wrong with using a pacifier, they have proven that it doesn't affect teeth or anything due to what they're made of. I started my daughter on one around the same age, it helped to calm her & help her get to sleep.

Sometimes you have to give a baby a passy. I personally do not like to see a child over 18 mos with one. I used one with my 2nd child becuase I found myself feeding her more than needed. She would cry for food and want the food. But when I started her with a passy at 2 mos she stopped eating so much. I tool her off the bottle and the passy at eight months. I did not wean her off of them. I just took them from her. The first night she cried a little, but after that she never wanted either again.
