Night terrors, shyness, insecurities ... Many children associate their pacifiers with safety and comfort home. We must let them develop at their own pace and ensure that it is in the best possible conditions. In principle, a breastfeeding baby does not need to use a pacifier, but for comfort or when mom's tit is not available, it can help us.
It is clear that it has its advantages and that in many cases the "non-use" of the pacifier has led some children to suck their fingers, a habit that is much more difficult to remove later, it is also shown to reduce the sudden infant death syndrome during sleep. If for whatever reason (tiredness, nipple discomfort etc.), you decide that your baby uses a pacifier, you have to decide on the one that gives us more guarantees so that your oral development Be the right one.
As our baby grows, he experiences many new sensations, start the adventure of sociability in the park, save it or just for a walk. Y sometimes he doesn't have us by his side to reassure him with caresses, songs or stories.

What is the best pacifier?
Many moms don't like the idea of their baby using the pacifier, but sometimes the baby demands it. He doesn't want his chest, he's not hungry, but he wants to suck something, before he clings to his own finger, we can give him the pacifier and we must make sure he uses the most convenient one. The innovative and extra ergonomic pacifier Phisyo Smile from Chicco, has the Physio Active orthodontic nipple designed to favor the natural position of the tongue and evenly distribute pressure on the palate for proper oral development.
It is convenient for the pacifier to rest on the baby's face with only 4 small convex areas, thus guaranteeing a maximum delicacy, which avoids unnecessary friction that can cause rashes on such delicate skin.
But what is it made of?
There are two main materials for pacifier teats:
He rubber It is a soft and natural material, it is elastic and resistant, for a comfortable sensation during suction, do not forget to choose an appropriate teat size to ensure the correct dimension of the pacifier in each phase of growth.
Refering to silicone, is a material transparent and hygienic, without taste or smell, which does not deform with the passage of time. And it is also convenient to choose the size appropriate to the age of your baby and the dimensions of his mouth.
Are you sure your oral development will be correct?
To ensure a correct oral development, the pacifier they use should have ample space between the baby's nose and chin area, facilitating the natural movement of the lips and breathing during suction. A pacifier that does not meet this requirement will force the baby to make an incorrect movement so that its natural development can be affected.
For whatever reason, if you decide to have your baby use a pacifier On certain occasions, it is best to find the one that best suits your needs and that is safe, happy and without complexes.
