toddler teeth problems pacifier

Hospitals and parents give babies pacifiers to help soothe them. Babies are orally soothed. S ucking helps relax them and trust me, that is really beneficial in a baby! :>) Pacifiers also don't do anything to a child's teeth. In fact, they are said to actually help form the soft palate. My sons did not take to them. You'll feel like your child at times needs something to soothe them. So, we really did try to give them pacifiers.

My oldest used a plug occasionally and had no problem giving it up. My second always wanted to suck, she will soon be 6, I took the plug away before 2 and now she ***** her finger when tired. My third would never take a plug. It really does depend on the child.

One of my biggest peeves is seeing a toddler walk around with a pacifier! Its so off putting, unnecessary and causes speech and teeth issues. Luckily both my sons were done on their own around three months so I never had to wean them from it.

I gave my son a pacifier and idk when I took it from him I did because he I can break that habbit then his thumb also cause my mom gave me one and took it away to early and I started sucking my thumb and here I am 25 still cant break the habbit :-(

There is really no fear of an infant or toddler using a pacifier regarding teeth. More of an issue to let them have a bottle at bedtime than a pacifier due to sugar on the teeth (found in milk). Just wanted to clarify that. My kids didn't use one but lots of infants love them.

Lexi hasn't had her well check yet because she had a seizure on her birthday, so we pushed it back until the 10th of this month after she visits the neurologist. Her EEG came back totally normal, and we're very grateful for that. At the follow up appointment a few days after her birthday she weighed 20 pounds and 2 ounces and was 30.5" long. She's walking now and waves "Hi" and says Hi. She babbles nonstop and is constantly on the go.

t think it matters in the long run. Both my boys are healthy and no teeth problems and they are both very attached to me. Your husband might not mind once baby is here if it helps baby calm down. Every baby is different too. Some take it and some don't.

And honestly, I would just leave her alone with it. I asked my pediatrician about problems resulting from pacifier use and she said that there is no evidence that there actually is an issue. We weaned my son from in at 6 months old because it would fall out of his mouth while sleeping, and he would wake up screaming. This was happening every 15 minutes, so we just took it away. One night and he was fine. He switched to his thumb and now at 27 months still ***** his thumb.

Chewing gum, using even a chewing instrument that therapy stores make is preferable to a pacifier. I think for most, seeing an adult with a pacifier is disturbing. What you do in the privacy of your own home is your business. But this may hinder future relationships if someone sees this and feels uncomfortable with it. In all honesty, I would personally.

My friend never wanted to give her baby a pacifier, because she didnt want to have her addicted to it. but now her daughter is 2 years old and her front teeth are "buck teeth" from sucking her thump and your two middle fingers. I personally will give my child a pacifier, and then wean him or her off as he or she gets older.

Now with my son 2 years ago all you ever heard was pacifiers were bad and caused teeth problems. So who really knows.

I never used a pacifier with my Boy and I didn't have any problems! The cons are getting him/her away from it when the time is right! I never had any problems not using one. I guess I was blessed! I would not even get the baby used to one at the beginning because the pain comes later when you have to take it away :) Good luck!

We always felt that it would be easier to get rid of the pacifier then the thumb. Both of our children used a pacifier. No teeth problems and I don't believe that there is any scientific research showing that it causes a problem. I've got a feeling that you object more to seeing an older kid running around with a pacifier in their mouth.

Let your baby use a paci and they still had straight teeth when they got older? I'm tired of hearing they can mess up my babies teeth as she gets older...

and she needs to get it fixed cause it WILL effect her permanent teeth when they do come in .,......juice, milk, they can all cause teeth problems for childern....

I had hpv 6 years ago, im worried about transferring it to my 2 year old son. He constantly has a pacifier in his mouth, im worried that when he dropped it in the bathroom floor, where towels sometimes lay, and put it back in his mouth he could have contracted it.

Tommie tippie for dummy (pacifier) and bottles and if I was to bottle feed again aptimal (don't know if you get that I'm in UK)

Is it normal for a toddler to chew his food so loud it sounds like a pig eating or something seriously its getting sooo annoying just to hear him chewing like that is driving me crazy ! ...

People say they are not good for your baby because they get attached to them, but a pacifier is better for the baby then sucking a thumb or a finger. Its also better foor the babys teeth.

So many parents struggle to get their kids off the pacifier when they get older, and also there is the issue of the child waking up crying in the middle of the night every night because his paci has fallen out of his mouth. I take it you are not breastfeeding? If you are, I'd breastfeed him at night (breast milk, unlike formula, does not harm the baby's teeth) and if not, I'd try to give him something to hold that soothes him.

No, I won't be using a pacifier. I do have a couple on hand though for those fussy days & I'm stressed out. My first didn't use it. My 8mo. Didn't use it, though when my mom baby sat she tried to give it to her, but she would only nibble on it. So baby #3 won't mIss anything he's never had, exactly. I don't want my baby to get dependent on a pacifier.

I have a 4yo stepdaughter and I'm 33 weeks with my first baby girl my stepdaughter was encouraged to suck her thumb and now it causes so many problems 1st being we cannot get her to stop and it drives us wild!

Im only 6 months right now but I just been thinking once the baby does arrive I dont want her to get attached to the pacifier. Are there other alternatives to not using the pacifier? Some babies grow so addicted to those things and its hard to wean them off. What to do?

My son is a month & he LOVES his pacifier, he keeps it in his mouth, when he's awake and even when we bathe him. the only time he doesn't have it in his mouth is when he's drinking a bottle and getting burped. If I take it he just whines and moans for it. I really don't want him to get use to it and still be sucking on it when he's like 1 or 2. What could I do right now to kinda break him off of it and not want it in his mouth almost 24/7.?

because they are her baby teeth. Every time we hear the noise we tell her no grinding and pop the pacifier back into her mouth. She's not doing as much any more but her teeth look fairly worn down already. Iv'e got a ped appointment coming up next week where I will mention these instances. I'm just wondering if it is common for typical infants to go through such tantrums and to exhibit such behaviors when they are only 9 months old.

I'm having trouble with my baby not taking a pacifier all she wants is boob any brands you could recommend that she might take?
