Many mothers love their babies and want to buy anything for them. Like baby strollers, walkers, and various toys, whenever a mother sees other babies using them, she wants to give them the same. But some baby equipment may not necessarily be beneficial for the growth of the baby, and may even have adverse effects. So, will pacifiers deform the mouth?
Normal use generally does not cause deformation of the baby's mouth. Pacifying pacifiers can provide great psychological comfort to babies. Many mothers use them when their babies cry, but sometimes when they do, their babies become dependent. In addition to feeding, they need to hold pacifiers every moment of their lives. Long term sucking on pacifiers can affect the development of the baby's upper and lower gums, leading to misaligned teeth and affecting aesthetics.
However, this situation is also rare, as long as the use of pacifiers is not excessive, there is usually no problem. Therefore, when the baby is still young, a pacifier can be used appropriately. But as the baby grows older, they should gradually give up the habit of sucking on pacifiers. You can first reduce the frequency of using pacifiers and gradually shorten the daily usage time.
When the baby is looking for a pacifier, you can use fun toys to distract the baby's attention. Do not force the baby to immediately give up the pacifier, and do not resort to scolding. You can take your baby out for more activities, encourage them to speak more, or use their favorite anime or cartoon characters as role models to quit pacifiers.
