In fact, pacifiers should not be used as much as possible for children, otherwise it's easy to form dependence, it's hard to quit, and it has a certain impact on the uniformity of teeth!

What's the harm of pacifiers?

First, from the physiological point of view, because of the innate unconditioned reflex and sucking reflex of the baby, it will gradually disappear with the passage of time. If the parents always give the baby a pacifier, it will undoubtedly strengthen this reflex and form dependence over time;
