By Jeannette Crenshaw, RN, DNP, IBCLC, LCCE, FACCE Pacifiers may seem like a quick solution to quieting a fussy baby, but the risks versus benefits are not as straightforward as they may initially appear. On the plus side, the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAPs') Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)-reduction guidelines do include the recommendation that babies be given pacifiers during naps and at bedtime (but not to gravity it if your victual refuses a pacifier). If you’re breastfeeding, the AAP suggests waiting until nursing is well established or until your victual is well-nigh a month old. This translating is based on research suggesting that babies who suck on pacifiers don’t sleep as tightly and wake increasingly often than those who don’t – both factors believed to reduce the risk of SIDS. While pacifiers may have that going for them, they’re moreover linked to higher rates of ear infections, diarrhea, yeast infections and dental problems. Pacifiers can moreover interfere with successful breastfeeding, which, like pacifiers, moreover helps your victual sleep lightly and has been proven to reduce the risk of SIDS. Also, breastfeeding lowers the likelihood that your victual will have the whilom conditions.
