Ok mommas. You should GET her BIRTHING COURSE!!!!! I'm dead serious. I'm so comfortable and confident about my birth already, being only 1/3 thru it. It's a HUGE HELP!!!! Thank you so much ❣️
Interesting recommendation. I am a dental student who is due in 6 weeks and I had a conversation with my pediatric dentistry professor about pacifiers. She actually recommended MAM or NUK pacifiers. She also said to never use a pacifier that has a little stuff toy/giraffe attached to it because it promotes open bite.
I would trust them over her as they are doctors my friend is a dental hygienist and she said always Nuk Ortodontic as the one she is recommending can cause issues later on in life with dental and jaw issues. My dentist agreed.
Thanks so much for this input my baby won't take a round passi but she loves the nuk and flat ones (we use Ryan and Rose too) and I was starting to second guess myself!
I have mom group on fb that also report on those kind paci that she recommended.. the silicone fell off into one of the baby's mouth! Crazy! But luckily they were never made it small enough for any throat to swallow but it's a tough lesson to learn
This is because the goals are conflicting. The best pacifier for proper tongue movement is the Avent soothie style. My PT used it to train my baby how to suck properly. The Mam and Nuk are designed to be the least intrusive and have the least effect of teeth but they actually force the baby to use the wrong sucking motion. So there isn’t one right paci, it depends on what your goal is. If baby needs better sucking technique, Avent! If baby has good sucking technique then Man or Nuk is fine
I used Mam and Chicco pacifiers with my babies when they went through the “witching hour” (1-2 months of age). And I only used them in emergencies when nothing else seemed to calm them down. After that, they both rejected pacifiers at 3-4 months of age and never used them again.
Both of my EBF infants did not take a pacifier until they were around 2.5-3 months. They preferred breast and I didn't push it too hard. They both also preferred the NUK type pacifiers when they did take them. I also am a firm believer of giving the pacifier ONLY for assistance during sleep.
Your videos are always so helpful! I started watching them at 20 weeks and now my little man is 2 weeks old. Thanks for all the helpful information and everything you do! 🥰
no matter what do NOT feel guilty if you need to pacify your baby with a pacifier. videos like this made me feel so bad in those first days/weeks because I needed to use one to calm the baby down. don't fret. pacifiers are fine. they can still breastfeed fine.
yes everyone around me including my husband tells me not to use a pacifier for my baby meanwhile I'm all alone since delivery day taking care of my now 3 weeks old newborn..I have no time for myself and I feel exhausted and depressed. Also the baby always wants to be in my lap for comfort nursing..
So glad i watched this. I heard about nipple confusion from my bestie, who is also a mom. i didn't think that a pacifier would do the same, but it makes sense. i'm also proud of myself b/c i got the pacifiers that looked like the hospital ones. when you said advent pacifiers, i checked what i got and applauded myself lol. so i'll take whatever pacifiers the hospital gives me and hold onto them until 4-6 weeks. Thank you mama!!
Thank you for this video! Here in France in hospital they told us not to use a pacifier at all, at second day I had to give one to my baby, he really wanted to suck all the time, my breast hurt too much. Now it helps him to calm but he don’t need it all the time. We use Aveda Soothe it is really great.
I swear your videos come out at the perfect time! My daughter isn't really liking a paci so I was actually going to try a flat one today. But now I'll just stick with the soothie one! Thank you for all the work you put in your videos! You are helping so many people!!
It's comforting to hear. Mime is coming close to 2 weeks and has already established a strong latch and is drinking great. Thinking of the pacifier to get through some sleepless nights
@@jho6742 pacifiers also help prevent SIDS! Also! My son is 33 months old and still nurses! (For comfort) and has used a pacifier this whole time! Don’t be afraid at all! It’s a great tool.
Really like that you specifically addressed premature babies! Mine had it right after being born and it helped a ton with her sucking, born at 31 weeks she could suck it very well and couldn’t have any milk even by tube at first, all IV and a little colostrum in her cheek!
My first son used the nuk pacifier, he was an exclusively breast fed boy who was only comforted on the boob.. he was starting to use the breast as a pacifier so I felt that it was necessary… but it was very difficult to take it away when it was necessary. Eventually he lost them all and I just didn’t buy anymore. My 2nd never liked the pacifier and spit it out so I didn’t need to worry about it. My 3rd was only given the pacifier from the hospital, but he didn’t take one after he was a month old. He was great at breast feeding, and I started to mainly pump and bottle feed because I went back to work pretty quickly. Now with my recent 4th, she is a very fussy baby. She doesn’t give very specific cues as to what she needs when she cries, because she cries a lot. She is overly sensitive to sounds and movements so with these sensory issues I have given into the pacifier. Currently using the MUM type, they are a little smaller than the avent ones that the hospital gave us. She will suck on it for a little while before spitting it out and crying, then she tries to look for it with her hands, but it’s her hands that usually knock it out of her mouth anyway..
Thank you so much for these information about a pacifier. My baby just 1 week old. She cries a lot so we use the pacifier with her to keep her calm down. But we are using the wrong kind. I will change to use the purple kind that you showed that it is better for her suckling and movement of tongue.
I've tried almost a dozen pacifiers and my daughter won't have anything to do with them 😅 would just be nice to use at times to soothe her. This is a good video 😊
My son was sucking his thumb in 4 different ultrasounds haaha He was sucking his thumb within seconds of being born. So with him the pacifier was an easy decision! Much better on his teeth than his thumb
It took me 2 months to establish breasfeeding with my baby who had tongue and lip tie. I watched this video and introduced this avent dummy for 10 minutes one day to soothe him from purple crying. It reversed all our hard work and created nipple confusion just in two days. 😢
Thanks a lot Bridget. Your vlogs about giving birth help me to have a normal and easy delivery..❤ God bless you always... just continue to help others through your knowledge and experiences
Our baby is almost 12 weeks old and she hasn’t been really interested in pacifiers. She’ll only take the soothe ones for a hot minute and then spits it out. Thankfully she is a good sleeper at night and breastfeeds well.
I was resisting full force to introduce a pacifier, but my two week old wanted to be on my breast to fall asleep and it resulted in him getting way too much milk (and he has reflux issues), I was getting uncomfortable and he never really fell asleep, so the pacifier was the best remedy for us. But we're being moderate in using it cause I don't want it to be long term
@@sarahtara5546 she's probably doing a non nutrition suction, which is simply for confort and to fall asleep :) right now we don't use the pacifier anymore, and I find the nights are easier when he knows I'm there then when he woke up anytime the pacifier fell before he was in deep sleep.
@@sarahtara5546 for us it worked until close to two months, so hopefully it's the same for you! Please research on the better pacifiers to use, such as ones with air ways which make the pacifier softer
I really thought I introduced pacifier very early to my baby. I decided to have him use one when he’s 1month old and heard feedbacks from my relatives that it’s too early, making me lose my confidence on decision making as a first time mom. This video helped a lot! Thanks so much! Btw, my baby boy is now 2mos old, purely breastfeed, and using the Chicco soother. I’m worried though about the cons and making him very dependent on it 🥺
I started taking a soother around that time and didn’t have any issues weaning from it (I was breast feed but also uses bottles due to going to day care) We do the best with what we have and you sound like you’re doing an amazing job momma ❤️
My bub used his on his 3rd day, we had no troubles with breastfeeding or anything, he gained a massive amount of weight early on too. Very calm bubba, just really helped put him to sleep when he struggled to do it himself.
First off.. Thank you so much for your help. 47yr old new dad of twins, and i gotta say i would be so far behind if it weren't for you and your great videos. 2. 👏 👏 👏 👏 thank you again. May kids are goin to be better off b.c. of you. As I aswell a better father to my twins. 💙❤
My Mom was very anti pacifier. I recently found a photo of myself at maybe three years, holding a baby bottle filled with something red! :0) I think bottles must have been my passie. And I had almost three years of braces anyway! It's so interesting to hear logical reasons why things I had a strong opinion with no real facts about just might be wrong! Thank you.
I never introduced pacifiers to my kids because my mom refused 🤣 she was concerned that he might get use to it for a long time that he could be fussy and not stop crying. They are both doing well witnout one and they eat well.
I agree with this. If we’re “build to birth” our baby is sure as hell build to eat and will know a soother isn’t feeding them. Just have patients and trust in your body and your baby ❤️
So thrilled to see this video! Sucking is such a strong reflex for little ones and using a pacifier is a great way to help soothe our little ones with non-nutritive sucking. The American Association of Pediatrics also recommends using pacifiers/dummies to help reduce SIDS. Thanks so much for sharing :)
My daughter used the nuk classic pacifier and was breastfeeding; she didnt have any latch issues and emptied me very well. 😊 she did not like the soothie, but with my son he took to the soothie and the lansinoh bottles since the nipples are round and my LC said they're good choice; he has a lazy latch at times, its extremely hard to keep them in his mouth, and ive had pain and latching issue's with him but never my daughter. So for my kids pacifiers are completely the opposite for me experience wise, he keeps crying for his pacifier cause he drops it so often and haven't seen much of sucking growth; he was checked for lip or tongue tie and had neither
Definitely don't take it away if they love that kind; my daughter uses the nuk and was breastfed but did amazingly. She hated the soothie shape. And she never had latch issues. I'd keep it if it's working for the both of you
very great information, but I do have to add, I was an infant/toddler teacher for 3 years. I have seen very bad cases with open bite with the round hospital nuk because its round opening is like a pencil. it creates that opening on the gum/teeth area in the front mainly. when infants start getting their front teeth the nuk prevents the teeth from closing and the teeth basically form around the shape of the nuk, which is round. im not saying its bad to use earlier on but I would suggest to stop using that specific type of pacifier by 6 months. I like the mam and nuk because they are flat for better oral development.
I’d have to double check with my mom but I know I used a smoother for far longer than 6 months and my teeth are perfectly straight. Teeth shape is genetic
I loved when you said "Hey Mamas" It was like...preparation for me to transition into that role for the first time. I do not understand the logic behind changing that
What’s your thoughts on the bibs pacifier? I just introduced this one at 5 weeks. I plan to buy the one you recommended but I was wondering if the ones I already have are still good to use or will they cause issues.
My baby (10 weeks) has a shallow and weak latch. I’ve struggled with breastfeeding since birth (she was on bottles early for formula top up to increase weight). She arrived a week earlier. I’ve heard using the paci can strengthen the latch/suck…
My baby has a tongue tie & has a really hard time keeping his pacifier, like every 5-10min we have to put it back in his mouth! He turns 8weeks today! Does the exercise with the pacifier still help if he has a tongue tie?
Nipple confusion if used to early.... Ahhh please update this!!! I was given this advice as a first time mom and i wish i knew this isnt evidence based.
Thank you so much for these informative videos, they have helped me so much. Quick question? I got my daughter with a wubbanub since a few weeks old which she loves and won’t take any other pacie. She only uses for a little bit to go for naps or nighttime. The wubband says it is for 0-6 months but she is now 9 months old still using it. I can’t find a soothie for the age do you have any suggestions??? Thank you so much!
Thank you for this information - it is very helpful as I am new mom. Can you please also post a video on swaddling. I feel like my baby has stopped peeing when I swaddle him and he is just 2 months old. He does pee after I unswaddle him n diapers are full after that but do you think swaddling or sleep can affect and it is normal for 2 month old not to pee when sleeping??? Once again- thank you tons- your videos have given me strength and knowledge through out my pregnancy and is still helping...God bless 💞💞💞
We are planning on using a pacifier with our next baby only because my other 3 kids sucked their thumb for 3 years. We had to purchase expensive thumb covers to get them to stop. Otherwise, I wish we could skip the paci.
Love her and her work! BUT reconsider getting your baby a pacifier. Paediatric dentists do not recommend them because they are known to change the shape of the upper pallet and cause teeth spacing issues later on. It can also effect speech and breathing, specifically causing mouth breathing which has a list of lasting health consequences. Just something to think about! You don’t need a pacifier to have a soothed baby ♥️
Im one of 4 children and we all too a soother and none of us have issues. Sounds like the child would have had these issues regardless it’s just easier for parents to plan a soother and not their genes 😉 Science sweetie.
I offered them to both my kids and they just didn’t care to suck on it for too long. If it fell out they weren’t bothered. That’s how I knew. Before that I too thought that every baby has to have a pacifier
All Stores Please Lower the price of all Military and Local for all Brands of Pacifier Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now 🙏🙏🙏
I can't seem to find those pacifiers where I am, would you say the tommee tippie closer to nature breast-like soother has the same benefits as the Avent? Had my 3rd baby last month and just like my 2 refuses a pacifier, but never tried a round one with any of them, currently have the flat tommee tippies and baby hates all of them.
I think the itzy ritzy sweety soothers/pacifiers are the same shape, i got some of those and they have the round shape. I messed up by giving my baby the mam pacifier because thats the only one that he could keep in his mouth, the itzy ritzy ones were too big for him at the time and i shouldn't have done that. So i just gave him the round itzy ritzy one and he seems to like it, im going to put away all the other pacifiers and we'll see how this works!
@@irenavresk4351 I'm in south africa, we don't have those here, that's why I was asking about the tommee tippie as they are the easiest to find here and can't find the Avent that she talks about, there are shops that will order but will take too long to get here and end up being ridiculously overpriced
@@ayeshav4596 I finally found the other day in my town but the 6-12 month size, it's nearly R300, my baby is only 7 weeks old, so I wasn't going to spend that much and he doesn't want it when he is ready for it
My one year old never took a pacifier. I waited until 6 weeks to try and she prefers her fingers. I tried again a couple months ago and still no. She only sucks on her fingers when she's sleeping or about to sleep.
I have been thinking of not getting a pacifier for my baby since I were pregnant.. but now she is 3 weeks and has developed the habit of comfort nursing.. She stays mostly in my lap wanting to be attached to my breast all the time.. When she sleeps she wakes up as soon as I put her down.. Its getting really frustrating for me and I'm thinking of getting a pacifier now.. Any advice would be appreciated..
When I had a C-section birth my milk had stopped coming in first two weeks, we ended up having to take our baby into the hospital for dehydration. she cried and as new parents we didnt know what to do! it prevents over eating as well. I'm glad I made the decision to give her a pacifier to help soothe her so that she didn't spend all night crying, till we got to the hospital. I'm grateful also because it reminds her to breathe it helps me know that she's OK and prevents premature death or prevents SIDS. always buy the age appropriate pacifiers, and dont keep them on long. take it away after 1 year the latest. she also had a hard time with the avent, brand. and loved MaM. also helped with eczema on her face, preventing saliva from sticking to her cheeks:)
Hi ms.bridget i know that my question is not related to this video. Any tips on how to soften cervix im 39 weeks tomorrow and im only 1-2cm only 😔 Its my third baby.
I know sex helped me with my first two. Had them in 24hrs. I took castor oil with my third and she arrived in 12hrs. The 4th nothing worked (the sex, walking, midwives brew, pineapple, spicy foods, castor oil, tincture, miles circuit, side lying release, bouncing, etc..) and I effaced 50-60%, dialated 3-4cm, but needed an emergency c-section in the end. I had a discussions with my midwives before I did anything. Nothing will work until baby is ready; they are smart and know what they are doing. If they are ready you can encourage them with previously mentioned methods (depending on your health, situation, doctor/midwife advice) and they will come.🙂
My son had a ferocious sucking force yet still couldn't keep the Soothie in his mouth. Our attempt at breastfeeding was also EXCRUCIATING and I had blistered and bleeding nipples within 24 hours despite the hospital LC saying we had a good latch. I'm starting to think he had a tongue or lip tie!
Very interesting, I never heard of suck training before! I used the flat pacifiers (Nuk and Tommy Tipee) with both of my babes from birth and they never seemed to have any nipple confusion and breastfed for 1.5 years each. The Soothies did not stay in their mouth at all and I could only use them if I held it in place the entire time! I guess I never thought about the issues that could occur I just used them as needed and both babes did great and always preferred the boob if they had the choice 😅
Ok mommas. You should GET her BIRTHING COURSE!!!!! I'm dead serious. I'm so comfortable and confident about my birth already, being only 1/3 thru it. It's a HUGE HELP!!!!
Thank you so much ❣️

Gave a pacifier a few hours after my baby was born and he never had nipple confusion but I think he’s just lucky in that regard! Good info!
Same here
Same. My baby is 2 weeks and hasn’t had any issues or confusion. She likes to be on the nipple for comfort and a pacifier has helped a ton.
It's comforting to hear. Mime is coming close to 2 weeks and has already established a strong latch and is drinking great. Thinking of the pacifier to get through some sleepless nights

The NICU nurses also explained to us that keeping prem babies calm and not crying with a dummy conserves precious calories.
Just want to say thank you for helping me get through my accelerated OB class :) I'm not even a mom yet and your channel has helped me tremendously
Thanks for the video. Could you maybe link some reputable sources where we can read more about your info.
Same. I’m reading a book that looks at data based on studies and it says something else about nipple confusion
Same. The scientific studies I have read says a few different things from this video so I would love links to support this information.

He was sucking his thumb within seconds of being born.
So with him the pacifier was an easy decision! Much better on his teeth than his thumb
Great timing for me! I am expecting so was wondering if I "needed" to buy a pacifier and which one. Thank you for sharing this info!

Im sure it’s easier than taking the thumb out of my daughters mouth 😩
@@asianeyes1006 exactly!
My 3m old baby really likes the nuk pacifier. Should I take it away? I haven’t noticed any of the signs you spoke of in your video.
Definitely don't take it away if they love that kind; my daughter uses the nuk and was breastfed but did amazingly. She hated the soothie shape. And she never had latch issues. I'd keep it if it's working for the both of you
My baby is going to think you are her momma by how much I watch you 😂😂
I got doctors browns baby pacifiers it’s made from 100% silicone I just ordered it today
very great information, but I do have to add, I was an infant/toddler teacher for 3 years. I have seen very bad cases with open bite with the round hospital nuk because its round opening is like a pencil. it creates that opening on the gum/teeth area in the front mainly. when infants start getting their front teeth the nuk prevents the teeth from closing and the teeth basically form around the shape of the nuk, which is round. im not saying its bad to use earlier on but I would suggest to stop using that specific type of pacifier by 6 months. I like the mam and nuk because they are flat for better oral development.
I’d have to double check with my mom but I know I used a smoother for far longer than 6 months and my teeth are perfectly straight. Teeth shape is genetic
So which one is best for newborns???
Loving all of your videos! This is sort of off topic but could you tell me what camera you use to film? Would appreciate it so much! 🤍
The paci saved me during those newborns days. However 21 months later- struggling on how to take it away. Someone help?!
Why do you need to take it away? I’m genuinely curious about this since most things can be done when the baby is ready to stop doing them 😊
I loved when you said "Hey Mamas"
It was like...preparation for me to transition into that role for the first time.
I do not understand the logic behind changing that
It's because not only mom's watch her videos, there are fathers they watch for advice as well
These videos are just as important for the baby's dad :)
Because not all birthing people identify as "Mama"
Same! I felt the same.
I really cringe and dislike when anyone else but my kid calls me mama
What is your opinion on the BIBS pacifiers?
What’s your thoughts on the bibs pacifier? I just introduced this one at 5 weeks. I plan to buy the one you recommended but I was wondering if the ones I already have are still good to use or will they cause issues.
You're amazing, thank you
My baby (10 weeks) has a shallow and weak latch. I’ve struggled with breastfeeding since birth (she was on bottles early for formula top up to increase weight). She arrived a week earlier. I’ve heard using the paci can strengthen the latch/suck…
So useful.
Giving my baby a natural rubber pacy! No plastic! Ecofriendly
My baby has a tongue tie & has a really hard time keeping his pacifier, like every 5-10min we have to put it back in his mouth! He turns 8weeks today! Does the exercise with the pacifier still help if he has a tongue tie?
I got the doctors brown colic glass baby bottles and I plan on getting a bump and putting it the bottle
Wow I just had asked you a question about this 😆
Nipple confusion if used to early.... Ahhh please update this!!! I was given this advice as a first time mom and i wish i knew this isnt evidence based.
I’m getting the gist that there isn’t a good medium between tongue shape and teeth-coming-in shape. One or the other?
My son gagged SO HARD on the avent pacifiers. He only takes parents choice which are similar to nuk.
Can i ask which one would you recommend for a new born , the original soothie or the the bear soothie.
Thank you so much for these informative videos, they have helped me so much. Quick question? I got my daughter with a wubbanub since a few weeks old which she loves and won’t take any other pacie. She only uses for a little bit to go for naps or nighttime. The wubband says it is for 0-6 months but she is now 9 months old still using it. I can’t find a soothie for the age do you have any suggestions??? Thank you so much!
Does anyone have any experience with the brand "The Pacii"?
Thank you for this information - it is very helpful as I am new mom. Can you please also post a video on swaddling. I feel like my baby has stopped peeing when I swaddle him and he is just 2 months old. He does pee after I unswaddle him n diapers are full after that but do you think swaddling or sleep can affect and it is normal for 2 month old not to pee when sleeping???
Once again- thank you tons- your videos have given me strength and knowledge through out my pregnancy and is still helping...God bless 💞💞💞
Can u please tell me which pacifier brand is good for babies?
Hi I love your videos
We are planning on using a pacifier with our next baby only because my other 3 kids sucked their thumb for 3 years. We had to purchase expensive thumb covers to get them to stop. Otherwise, I wish we could skip the paci.
Excellent! Thank you. xxxx :)
Are the itzy ritzy natural pacifiers good? They have a cherry shape.
love this mama an mamas
Thank you. I had to subscribe.
Dentists can also identify lip/tongue ties if any concerns from parents.
Why would you take a baby to a dentist? Lol
@@ASMRKay_ mostly education for parents, but also to ID/fix tongue and lip ties.
Love her and her work! BUT reconsider getting your baby a pacifier. Paediatric dentists do not recommend them because they are known to change the shape of the upper pallet and cause teeth spacing issues later on. It can also effect speech and breathing, specifically causing mouth breathing which has a list of lasting health consequences. Just something to think about! You don’t need a pacifier to have a soothed baby ♥️
Im one of 4 children and we all too a soother and none of us have issues.
Sounds like the child would have had these issues regardless it’s just easier for parents to plan a soother and not their genes 😉
Science sweetie.
how long should they be on pacifiers? average time?
Does the Paci shape matter so much once the child is older? 12 months
What if your baby breathes with their mouth open?
How can you tell if they don't want the pacifier or if they just can't keep ahold of it?
I offered them to both my kids and they just didn’t care to suck on it for too long. If it fell out they weren’t bothered. That’s how I knew.
Before that I too thought that every baby has to have a pacifier
Why is it bad for them to breath via mouth and not nose? Do either type of pacifiers damage their teeth?
All Stores Please Lower the price of all Military and Local for all Brands of Pacifier Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now 🙏🙏🙏
what is the name of the dummy you recommended please?
I can't seem to find those pacifiers where I am, would you say the tommee tippie closer to nature breast-like soother has the same benefits as the Avent? Had my 3rd baby last month and just like my 2 refuses a pacifier, but never tried a round one with any of them, currently have the flat tommee tippies and baby hates all of them.
I think the itzy ritzy sweety soothers/pacifiers are the same shape, i got some of those and they have the round shape. I messed up by giving my baby the mam pacifier because thats the only one that he could keep in his mouth, the itzy ritzy ones were too big for him at the time and i shouldn't have done that. So i just gave him the round itzy ritzy one and he seems to like it, im going to put away all the other pacifiers and we'll see how this works!
@@irenavresk4351 I'm in south africa, we don't have those here, that's why I was asking about the tommee tippie as they are the easiest to find here and can't find the Avent that she talks about, there are shops that will order but will take too long to get here and end up being ridiculously overpriced
I'm also looking for the Avent Soothies. No where to be found in SA
@@ayeshav4596 I finally found the other day in my town but the 6-12 month size, it's nearly R300, my baby is only 7 weeks old, so I wasn't going to spend that much and he doesn't want it when he is ready for it
My one year old never took a pacifier. I waited until 6 weeks to try and she prefers her fingers. I tried again a couple months ago and still no. She only sucks on her fingers when she's sleeping or about to sleep.
I have been thinking of not getting a pacifier for my baby since I were pregnant.. but now she is 3 weeks and has developed the habit of comfort nursing.. She stays mostly in my lap wanting to be attached to my breast all the time.. When she sleeps she wakes up as soon as I put her down.. Its getting really frustrating for me and I'm thinking of getting a pacifier now.. Any advice would be appreciated..
Thank you I was about to go out and by a bunch of the wrong pacifiers.
I'm using a bibs pacifier since my little girl was 3 days as she loves to suck and never had problems with feeding.
My first baby took to pacifiers really intensely, my second one isn't very interested
Hey
Listen on speed 1.25😊
When I had a C-section birth my milk had stopped coming in first two weeks, we ended up having to take our baby into the hospital for dehydration. she cried and as new parents we didnt know what to do!
it prevents over eating as well.
I'm glad I made the decision to give her a pacifier to help soothe her so that she didn't spend all night crying, till we got to the hospital.
I'm grateful also because it reminds her to breathe it helps me know that she's OK and prevents premature death or prevents SIDS. always buy the age appropriate pacifiers, and dont keep them on long. take it away after 1 year the latest.
she also had a hard time with the avent, brand.
and loved MaM. also helped with eczema on her face, preventing saliva from sticking to her cheeks:)
Hi! My 5month old is not taking the pacifier. Do you think I still have a chance on this?
Not at all you made it this far with out one ...then you'll have a hard time breaking the habit
Why force one on them if they don’t want it? They don’t have to take one
I tried diff types of pacifiers and my baby only used it for a week 😂
I wish I would have known this before! My LO is 2 months old and only takes the MAM pacifier 😭
dont worry, my baby took Mam for two years.. she is perfectly fine as well as her dental.
just monitor and see if that works best for your lil one:)
Hey thanks for the info! What do you think about the FRIGG brand natural rubber pacifiers from Denmark? Are they good for breastfed babies?
My 7 week old uses a soothie but sometimes sleeps with his mouth open. I didn’t think much of it but should I be concerned?
Maybe a tongue tie?
If you’re concerned ask your pediatrician not CZcams
Hi ms.bridget i know that my question is not related to this video.
Any tips on how to soften cervix im 39 weeks tomorrow and im only 1-2cm only 😔
Its my third baby.
I know sex helped me with my first two. Had them in 24hrs. I took castor oil with my third and she arrived in 12hrs. The 4th nothing worked (the sex, walking, midwives brew, pineapple, spicy foods, castor oil, tincture, miles circuit, side lying release, bouncing, etc..) and I effaced 50-60%, dialated 3-4cm, but needed an emergency c-section in the end. I had a discussions with my midwives before I did anything. Nothing will work until baby is ready; they are smart and know what they are doing. If they are ready you can encourage them with previously mentioned methods (depending on your health, situation, doctor/midwife advice) and they will come.🙂
I saw in one of her videos she had said she was taking dates daily for this reason.
My son had a ferocious sucking force yet still couldn't keep the Soothie in his mouth. Our attempt at breastfeeding was also EXCRUCIATING and I had blistered and bleeding nipples within 24 hours despite the hospital LC saying we had a good latch. I'm starting to think he had a tongue or lip tie!
Cen kids have pacifiers
Jesus Christ loves you and He died for you ❤️

Very interesting, I never heard of suck training before! I used the flat pacifiers (Nuk and Tommy Tipee) with both of my babes from birth and they never seemed to have any nipple confusion and breastfed for 1.5 years each. The Soothies did not stay in their mouth at all and I could only use them if I held it in place the entire time! I guess I never thought about the issues that could occur I just used them as needed and both babes did great and always preferred the boob if they had the choice 😅
