For neonates with disorders, it is essential to follow best practices to ensure the safe use of pacifiers:
1. Consult Healthcare Providers: Always consult with the infant’s healthcare team to tailor the pacifier use to the baby’s specific needs. 2. Introduce Pacifiers at the Right Time: If breastfeeding, wait until it is well-established before introducing a pacifier. 3. Maintain Hygiene: Regularly clean and sterilize pacifiers to prevent infections. 4. Monitor Use: Keep an eye on how often and how long the pacifier is used, especially as the child grows.
