A pacifier is a silicone nipple substitute given to an infant or toddler to suckle on between feedings to quiet their distress. They are shaped and sized for new borns and have breast-like nipples to soothe baby and avoid nipple confusion. Pacifiers are the most helpful in children younger than 6 months of age, potentially aiding in falling asleep and may reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death. Doctors believe this may be because babies sleep lighter while sucking the pacifier. They are often a form of security or comfort and a great help to mom and dad. Many parents find pacifiers helpful at night or in public areas because sucking on a pacifier will calm the baby. Using a pacifier also can be helpful during your baby’s common medical procedures that is to say some babies are happiest when they're sucking on something therefore during medical administration they can be diverted instead of crying and shaking.
