Pacifiers
Some research suggests that using a pacifier may reduce the risk of SIDS.
- If breastfeeding, do not offer a pacifier until breastfeeding is well-established
- Don't worry if the pacifier falls out of the baby's mouth during sleep, you don't need to replace it
- Never force your baby to use a pacifier if they don't want it
- Never coat the pacifier in anything sweet
- Never add a string or ribbon to the pacifier
- Offer the pacifier for all sleeps (both nap and night time)
