Whether you call it a ‘dummy’ or a ‘soother,’ the meaning is the same, but not all soothers are created equally! They come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, and since every baby has their own preference, you may need to experiment to find the perfect soothing companion for your little one.
Benefits of using a soother include helping to quickly settle sobs and upset, plus the comforting sucking motion can work as a pain reliever too. But did you know that studies have also shown that regular use has been associated with a lower risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)?
