Pacifiers
Pacifiers
are a great tool to help soothe your kids when upset, sick to their
stomach with gas or teething. I recommend having them in your purse,
diaper bag, car and anything else you carry when you are with your
child.
Choosing
a pacifier that is right for you baby can be tricky. Here are some
important things to look for in pacifier:
Make
sure the design of the pacifier does not interfere with your baby's
developing mouth.
Pacifier clips
are great too. If a baby spits the pacifier out the clip keeps it
attached to the clothing and baby so it doesn't fall onto the floor.
Make sure the clasp is sturdy but also make sure it will not rip you
childs clothing.
Make
sure they are vented which will help you ensure that they are
properly sterilized with heat and steam.
Try
and get one that is odorless and tasteless so you don't have any
problems with possible allergies.
When
your baby uses a pacifier make sure you wipe their mouth frequently
because they may drool, especially when teething, and their little
mouths can become chapped due to the excess saliva.
One other accessory you can buy for
your child's pacifier is a pacifier pod by JJ Cole Essentials. These
pacifier pods are stylish and convenient. You can clip the handle to
your purse, belt loop, diaper bag
or stroller.
They
are
machine
washable
so
you can sterlize any and all germs. They help keep your
baby's pacifier clean and you can also store two pacifiers in the pod
so if your baby happens to drop on on the floor you have a back up. Try
to wean your kids off pacifiers slowely when they are over 18 months.
The earlier you do, the easier it will be on everyone.
