Hi,

The most important risks of this non-nutritive sucking habit are failure of breastfeeding, dental deformities, recurrent acute otitis media (ear infections). Start by giving the pacifier only at bed time.After which, stop at bed time too. Give a cuddly toy instead and use soothing gestures.

Follow your normal sleep routine, putting the baby down in the crib, drowsy but awake, with the pacifier. When sucking slows down, gently remove the pacifier before the baby is completely asleep.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
