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 your 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. pacifiers

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 sterilize 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 one on the floor you have a back up. Try to wean your kids off pacifiers slowly when they are over 18 months. The earlier you do, the easier it will be on everyone.
