[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Research has shown that oral self comfort, whether by pacifier, finger or thumb sucking, is actually a good thing. It is normal. It is necessary. It begins in the womb. It helps reduce stress and tension and improves focus and concentration. It is a natural way to self-regulate.

It almost never has negative implications before age 4 (where dental issues may start in some). Dentists may disagree, but do you hope for braces (which most will need anyway) or a psychiatrist and anti-anxiety meds? Even adults use oral means of self soothing, but in more subtle ways.[/quote]

Makes sense.  My daughter who had her pacifier at all times until 4 years old was the calmest most chill baby.   She was never irritable, never crying, she was satisfied just being with the group.    She didn’t bring it to preschool but she never had any problems.  [/quote]

I bet this is true. My daughter is the most anxious, worst-sleeping child on earth. She rejected the pacifier at 2 months and never replaced it with another method of self soothing, so she is never soothed. I wish she still took a pacifier at 3![/quote]
