Patient's question:
My sister's daughter has already stopped breastfeeding. Later, because she was afraid the child would be troublesome, she bought a pacifier for her. Some family members supported it, while others opposed it. My sister is very troubled every day. Is the pacifier good or bad? What are its pros and cons?What kind of help do you want: What are the pros and cons of pacifiers?
Doctor's answer:
Benefits of pacifiers: Reducing a child's crying and providing temporary rest for tired mothers. For premature or intrauterine growth-restricted infants, sucking on a pacifier is a comforting stimulus that can promote weight gain.
