LIDUMMIES/PACIFIERS…why you might choose to introduce one to your baby 🤰🏼
Sucking provides much comfort to babies, something you will realise shortly after your baby is born. Whilst many of us feel very strongly about introducing or not introducing a dummy to our babies, these plans can change quickly.
I love dummies when they achieve something. Today I’m going to look at reasons why you may wish to consider introducing a dummy to your baby.
*Sucking can help get you through those early days of colic/reflux. Sucking turns on a a calming reflex.
*Sucking can help your baby settle to sleep
*Sucking can reduce the risk of SIDS in young babies. The regular sucking can stop them from sinking into the deeper stages of sleep.
*Sucking on a dummy will often see crying reduced or stop.
*Whilst some babies are very particular on the type of dummy they like best, supermarkets/pharmacies stock dummies and are very reasonably priced and easy to replace.
*Sucking may help with pain such as teething/tummy pains.
