Pacifiers

If using a pacifier, here are safety guidelines to keep in mind.

• The guard or shield on a pacifier should be large enough to prevent your baby from putting the entire pacifier into his mouth.
• Check the parts of the pacifier frequently to make sure that they will not come apart.
• Replace pacifiers often.
• Never hang a pacifier on a cord around a baby’s neck or attach it to your baby’s clothing with a clip and cord.
• Never substitute the lid and nipple of a bottle for a pacifier.
