TIUsing a dummy reduces the risk of SIDS 👶
Although the reason why or how dummies provide a protective effect is not clear, there is strong evidence associated with the reduced risk of SIDS.
💜 Offer a dummy at nap times and bedtimes
💜 If breastfeeding, introduce only once breastfeeding is firmly established
💜 Babies who are not being directly breastfed can begin use as soon as you would like
💜 You do not need to reinsert it if it falls out while sleeping, as the protective effect is still observed
💜 Don't hang the pacifier around your baby's neck or attach it to their clothing when they are sleeping
You can read more on this by visiting the American Academy of Pediatrics or Red Nose Australia.
