I just read an article about pacifiers and SIDS. The AAP is now recoommending pacifiers for infants. Here is the quote that stood out:
"The policy to reduce the risk of SIDS recommends that pacifiers be used at naptime and bedtime for the first year, but not beyond, and not during the first month for breast-fed babies."
They are saying that they believe that ****ing on a pacifier keeps a baby from slumbering so deeply that they can't rouse themselves.
I was never a huge fan of paci's, but one of my kids used one. I think I'll be using them for my infants now though if parents want to. Anything to reduce that SIDS risk.
