On this issue has never been unity. As a result, every mother makes the choice. But we will help her to understand the pros and cons of pacifier
Pros
Sucking instinct
In infants sucking instinct - you can say, basic, and it has to be satisfied. It is easy to occur, if the baby is breastfed on demand. But often the mother is not able to put the baby to the breast at any time of day, and then comes to the rescue dummy. If a child is bottle-fed, it is physiologically required after each feeding. And for the formation of a correct bite only need to choose wisely orthopedic pacifier.
Protection
The American Academy of Pediatrics examined the causes of infant mortality in the U.S. and developing island states, and has identified a pattern. On the islands of moms do not worry about the pacifier, and the number of cases of the syndrome of infant mortality is much lower there than in most developed country. The reason is that pacifiers prevent the tongue and the sudden cessation of breathing during sleep, and do not give the baby to choke the sudden regurgitation.
Diversion
If a breastfed baby should hold a medical procedure, for example, to take blood from a finger, pacifier will help distract him and soften the pain of the procedure.
Mouth clasp
Appearing in a public place with a child in her arms, her mother is important that it was quiet. In this case, nothing to do but to just shut my mouth pacifier. The same is sometimes necessary to do in cold or windy weather, the child is not swallowed the icy air.
Cons
Malocclusion
The lower jaw of a child is much less than the top, sucking load just eliminate this imbalance. But the mother's breast and sucking pacifiers uses different muscles, so after teething in children with a pacifier teeth are pushed forward, can grow crooked. Moreover, if we do not give up the pacifier after one year, it will put pressure on the periodontium - the soft tissue that holds the teeth in place. In babies, it is extremely malleable, and a constant load on it forms a malocclusion.
Poor delivery
Speech therapists are easily distinguished children abused pacifier: because of malocclusion and the position of the tongue there are problems with the pronunciation of a number of sounds.
Conflict of breasts and nipples
If you give the baby a pacifier before breastfeeding is fully established, it may refuse the breast. After all, non-nutritive sucking with less effort.
Ear Infections
Uncontrolled sucking on pacifiers third increases the number of ear infections, especially if the baby stuffy nose. Nutritive sucking creates increased pressure in the auditory tube between the nose and the ear, which increases the chance of infection.
The problem of sterility
As soon as the child is able to move himself, he will be able to raise the fallen pacifier. And if her mother before obdast boiling water, the child finds itself in the mouth directly from the floor.
Substitution of concepts
Mother-child need not only for feeding but also for comfort when he is sad or has something hurts. In such cases, giving a pacifier, Mom "plug" the baby's mouth instead of calm.
Dependence
For months, giving your baby a pacifier at bedtime, we form a dependency on it, without this "nanny" baby begins to feel real discomfort
