Noodad: noodad » Pacifiers: Love Them or Hate Them?

We\'ve had great experiences with pacifiers. We didn\'t take it away from our first kid (now 5) early enough, though. I think he had one until he was almost 2. We put off taking it away because we expected a couple of weeks of hell once we did. In the end, nothing happened. He didn\'t really seem to care. I\'m guessing that we just lucked out. His brother (almost 1) won\'t have his as long and the use will be restricted to the crib. Regarding the Cons: I think kids can become dependent on anything--ever see a kid clutching a filthy, tattered rag or a ratty stuffed animal? Not sure about tooth decay and thumbsucking, but I\'d bet that thumbsucking causes more overbite issues than pacifiers. Sleep issues: As long as the pacifier is only part of the routine and not the only thing your kid associates with sleeping, I don\'t think it\'s a big deal. It is a problem when the only way your kid can catch some z\'s is with the pacifier in his mouth. One more thing, YOU may not even get to make the choice about whether your kid uses a pacifier--lots of infants want nothing to do with them.

My son is almost 4 months old and has never been into the binks. He\'d take one as long as I held it to his mouth, which defeats the whole purpose.
\"They\" say that pacifiers actually protect against SIDS.
And I commit another Dr. Ferber sin every night... I nurse Seamus (yeah, that\'s his name, you wanna fight about?) to sleep. You can tell me 100 times not to do it but my son sleeps through the night, 10 hours on average, 95% of the time. And yes, I know this means my next baby will probably NEVER sleep. Karma\'s a nasty bitch.

Pacifiers only cause issues with teeth once the teeth actually start to settle, and most kids do give them up by/before then. Needless to say if they're going to pre-K, you might want to start the weaning process.Check with your dentist for more info.

Well i think that pacifier use has been proven to lead to teeth problems like overbiting and enamel decay. In some cases, doctors and pediatric dentists may order your kid to stop pacifier use and this leads to a very painful weaning process, and frequently, thumbsucking.
Aside from conjuring teeth problems, pacifiers tend to be avid carriers of disease-invoking viruses, which are unseen, that's why I don't let my kid depend on it.

I have seen first hand issues with the teeth and then needing a palate expander to correct some of the issues. I would really try to avoid using them or allowing thumb sucking.

I think that there are many parents who have successfully used pacifiers with their kids with no adverse side effects. Whatever you choose to do, it is important that you know the potential pitfalls and you stay on top of the use.

In my opinion kids will start to associate pacifier use with sleeping. This can become incredibly convenient when you are trying to get your kid ready for naps. Just pop in the binks and they will start the shutdown cycle
