Wait for your baby to take a pacifier before buying one

Before getting to excited in buying a huge stock of baby pacifiers, do wait until the baby takes one. It is advisable to consider buying a sample of each type of baby pacifier than buying a whole set of the same type. This is because some babies might not like having baby pacifiers or are keen to a certain type of baby pacifier.

Choose the one-piece pacifier

Nowadays, most pacifiers are on a one-piece pacifier design. It is advisable to prefer a single nipple baby pacifier that is firmly attached to the base for the baby's comfort. As much as possible avoid buying liquid-filled pacifiers or those that are gel-filled because it can be harmful and messy once it will leak out from the nipple.

Do not use home-made pacifiers

Never use home-made or improvised pacifiers. Baby pacifier products are produce with a great quality control to ensure safety when used. Any improvised pacifier such as the one made from milk bottle caps may pose a risk factor to your baby's health. It is important to remember that milk bottles and other similar materials are designed and intended for a different purpose; Improvising other materials into a baby pacifier my cause risk and unsecured consequences.

Find out the type of pacifier that your baby likes

Allow your baby to try on different types of pacifiers for you to know what they want. There are the traditional type of pacifiers and the orthodontic pacifiers with rounded top and flat bottom nipples. Latex and silicon are the usual materials used in making the nipple. Babies might want the harder type made with silicon or the softer one made with latex. Studies have shown that minimizing the use of pacifiers after the baby's first year will lessen your baby's dental damage.

Buy pacifiers with useful features

It is helpful to buy pacifiers with useful features such as having the appropriate pacifier size and color. 1.5 inch across pacifier sizes are ideal to prevent choking accidents. Colored pacifiers are helpful in stashing and looking for pacifiers. Vented base holes also allow air to pass through the baby's skin when sucking. This prevents moisture to develop that causes rashes and allergies.

Never tie the pacifier on your baby

Ensure safety first and never tie the pacifier on your baby. To tie the pacifier may be a possible reason for strangulation. Instead, buy a pacifier clip to easily attach the pacifier to a diaper bag or any convenient and visible location.

Make sure that the pacifiers is not recalled

Constantly check the list of recalled products. This is to ensure that your item is 100% safe for baby's use. Although it does not happen often, being more than sure with product safety is better than being lenient to danger.

Glow in the dark pacifier and other vibrant design may be helpful especially when looking for baby pacifiers around the house or during bed time. Always remember to provide only what is best.

Has anybody ever tried to cut the tip of their baby's pacifier to get them to stop using it?

My son is 18 months old and I thought of trying this. I heard you couldn't do it to the silicone ones. Is that true? Please don't tell me to just throw them away. I'm already considering this as well but I'm looking specifically for answers about cutting the tip of the pacifier off.

I told my daughter that she was getting older and big girls didn't use a pacifier. I threw it in the trash and then took the trash out. I know it sounds harsh but as long as you do it with kindness and authority they get over it real quick. If you cut off the tip and keep it around the habit is not broken, the child sees it and still wants it and the child suffers longer. Kids are strong, you just have to be too.
