How to choose a good pacifier

　　There are many types of pacifiers on the market, with slightly different shapes, but most of them are similar. According to children's psychological development, young children have some habits, such as sucking pacifiers, sucking fingers, curling hair, in order to obtain satisfaction and a sense of security.

　　1. It's better to suck a finger than a pacifier

　　Sucking is an important reflex in the development of young children. In addition to the normal nursing and feeding sucking, there are also some non-nursing sucking, such as sucking a bottle but not breastfeeding, sucking fingers, and sucking a pacifier. These are the psychological development of young children. It is a normal phenomenon, but relatively speaking, it can sometimes cause some problems. Children who suck a bottle but do not drink milk and only hold the bottle in their mouth are prone to "bottle-shaped tooth decay"; children who suck on their fingers and pacifiers, if they suck for a long time, can't quit, it is easy to cause the front teeth to open and close (i.e. upper and lower teeth). Front teeth, unable to bite together, have a large gap), which constitutes the problem of malalignment.

　　Since sucking is an important part of children's development, how to develop a healthy habit in children is a big question for parents. It's definitely not good to suck on a bottle without drinking milk, because it is easy to cause tooth decay. Pacifiers and finger sucking are much better, but according to reports, pacifier babies are more accustomed to sucking, so parents can encourage young children to suck on pacifiers instead of fingers.

　　2. Elements of a good pacifier

　　Young children may suck on their mouths until they are three or four years old, so the choice and use of a pacifier is very important.

　　1. The choice of the pacifier should pay attention to whether the pacifier is firmly bonded to the butterfly seat wing, and whether the entire pacifier is larger than the child's mouth, so as to avoid the entire pacifier being inhaled and dangerous.

　　Second, the butterfly seat wings of the pacifier should preferably have an arc, and there are ventilation holes to allow air circulation and saliva to flow out, so as not to cause angular cheilitis or eczema.

　　3. The tip of the nipple is wider and flat, so that children can be trained to use the tongue muscles, and the nipple with a wide and flat tip is more similar to the mother's nipple. The head of the pacifier is where the lips are contained, and is based on the principle of softness to add a good touch. Subdivided into different sizes and types of suction heads: According to the different ages of the baby and the scope of application, we design different functions of breast pumping.

　　4. Don't use the pacifier of the feeding bottle instead of the pacifier, because it is not one-piece, and the baby's sucking force is very strong.

　　Fifth, don't tie a filament thread to the pacifier, it is easy to cause suffocation accidents. If you are afraid of losing the pacifier, you can use a short chain to fasten it to the toddler's clothes.
