Experts Give Some Important Tips On How To Break A Child’s Habit Of sorrying On A Pacifier Without Traumas


Pacifiers have always been a matter of concern for parents, especially for first timers.

In a few moments, it might be the only thing to calm a baby and help them sleep, but we know that in the long run, it may become detrimental to the development of child’s face, bones, and muscles. Not to mention the problems it may cause to the teeth and tongue, which in turn can also generate problems with speech.

The recommended period for a pacifier is also controversial: some experts recommend up to six months and others say that up to two years is adequate. In any event, a sooner the pacifier is left aside, the better.


Here are some tips that may help your child to drop a pacifier without much trauma.



1. Use other resources as a means to calm your child: a toy, song, cuddle, or stroll in the park.



2. Gradual replacement: include other activities that can rouse good feelings to your child. Prefer activities and experiences rather than objects. Tell a story, put on a song, or take a stroll.

3. Provide a security blanket for a child to sleep with: a diaper, towel, or blanket can often provide some comfort for your kid and help them cope without a pacifier.


4. Avoid having many pacifiers available: having many pacifiers at hand, like one stuck to their clothes and another hanging from the stroller handle, one of each color, or in every room of your house not only reminds a kid that they need one but also hinders “weaning.”

If your child is already two years old or older, it is possible to help them understand how the use of pacifiers can have negative consequences for their breathing, teeth, and development of facial bones. Strike deals with your child in order to gradually limit when and where they can use their pacifiers until they eventually feel secure to let go of their “friend” once and for all.

These useful tips may help you and your child.
