The pacifier is a must-have for families with babies. How old is it to start using a pacifier? How old is it to quit the pacifier and how to disinfect it when pacifiers are used? Confused, let Xiaobian come to teach Bao Bao and Bao Ma to the class ~

How old a pacifier is

Generally, babies, especially those within 6 months, need the help of a pacifier. Whenever they feel flatulence, hunger, tiredness, irritability, or try to adapt to an environment that is new and strange to him, they need a lot of special comfort and care. If food, shaking it gently, patting the back, mother's gentle embrace, gentle music or singing are not enough to calm him, he will start sucking his fingers, and parents should consider using a pacifier for the baby. Baby babies are usually very picky about the size and shape of the pacifier, so at the beginning, try to give the child a few more pacifiers of different shapes and sizes, and observe the child's response until he is satisfied with his choice. For children who are already too dependent on sucking fingers, the mother can apply baby milk or juice to the pacifier to induce the child to like pacifiers, so as to quit sucking fingers.



Under what circumstances should the baby's pacifier be changed?
1. Nipple rupture

The baby likes to bite the pacifier, and the pacifier is bitten by the baby, so it means that it is time to replace the pacifier. If there is a crack in the teat, if the milk powder paste is not completely brewed, it may fall into the baby's mouth through the crack, which may cause the baby to choke or even choke.

2, the nipple is blocked

The normal time for a baby to feed is about ten to fifteen minutes. If the baby has been feeding for more than fifteen minutes, and the baby ’s expression appears to be struggling or a little agitated, it is usually the small holes in the pacifier. Smaller, more serious situations are blocked. Smart mothers can adjust the pacifier in time according to the baby's facial expression, you can make the small hole in the pacifier larger, or you can change to a new pacifier.

3. The pacifier is not strong

After a period of use, the pacifier may not be strong, such as becoming thin. At this time, we can check whether the pacifier should be continued by pulling the pacifier head.

Specific method: Pull the pacifier's head firmly and then release it. If the pacifier bounces back to its original shape, you can continue to use it. If it is loose and does not return to its original shape, it means that you should say goodbye to this pacifier and replace it with a pacifier.

4.Nipple aging

This will happen after the pacifier is aging. The pacifier looks a bit swollen, and it feels a little sticky to the touch. This is also the information that the pacifier needs to replace.

5, nipple discoloration

The pacifier is no longer translucent, and it is a bit discolored. This may also be caused by the aging of the pacifier.

Is it possible to pacify the day and night?

The pacifier is also used at night and during the day. The ordinary pacifier is used during the day, and the so-called sleeping pacifier is used at night. Some styles also have fluorescence. You can use the pacifier directly at the end of feeding each night. The pacifier, the saliva enzyme produced by the baby when sucking and soothing the pacifier, can effectively clean the residual milk in the mouth, and soothe the sleeping baby's mood, and can reduce the number of nights, so that both the baby and the mother can sleep well .
