Some new parents don't know when to use a pacifier, but just put the pacifier in your baby's mouth when they see the baby crying.
But babies often use pacifiers, which is not good for their growth, and finding the right time to help them quit is the best.
Parents should remember that whether the baby is sleepy, hungry, thirsty or sick, etc., parents should first correctly analyze why the baby is crying, rather than finding a pacifier immediately.
Reduce the number of uses little by little every day, and slowly, the baby will forget. Or make rules for babies, such as when they talk, you must remove the pacifier and make rules for them, which is naturally beneficial and harmless to them.
Mother Alpaca Message:
Improper use of the pacifier will have a great impact on the baby, and the baby will also inhale a lot of air when using the pacifier, which will cause a lot of air in the baby's stomach and intestines over time.

Therefore, parents should be moderate when using a pacifier for the baby, do not let the baby rely too much, parents can not use the baby when they are around the baby, and do not use it for too long every day.
