A pacifier might help reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Sucking on a pacifier at nap time and bedtime might reduce the risk of SIDS. If you're breast-feeding, wait to offer a pacifier until your baby is 3 to 4 weeks old and you've settled into an effective nursing routine. Pacifiers are disposable. When it's time to stop using pacifiers, you can throw them away.
Pacifiers collect dirt and germs from your child's mouth and the floor when he drops them, but regular cleaning can keep those things at bay. Parents magazine recommends sterilizing a new pacifier with boiling water before giving it to your child. You should also boil any pacifier your child used while sick. 1  Fill a pot halfway with tap water. 2  Allow the water to come to a full boil. 3  Drop the pacifiers into the water one at a time.  Boil the pacifiers for five to 10 minutes, then remove the pot from the 1  stove. Pour the water into the sink and take the pacifiers out of the  pot.
