Pacifiers, also known as soothers or dummies, are devices used to calm and comfort infants and young children. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, and some are designed for specific ages or developmental stages.
Pacifiers have been used for centuries, and there is evidence that they can provide a number of benefits for babies, including reducing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), helping to soothe colic, and promoting relaxation. However, there is also some debate about the potential negative effects of pacifier use, such as causing dental problems or interfering with breastfeeding.
