How often should a baby's pacifier be changed?
The baby pacifier is not enough for one use, it needs to be replaced regularly.The replacement cycle is mainly determined by the baby's use.
The baby's pacifier should be changed frequently
If the baby's pacifier is not changed frequently, it is easy to breed bacteria and affect the baby's health.
Especially in the hot and humid season, it is necessary to change the baby's pacifier regularly. Because bacteria are easy to breed in high temperature seasons, and the nipples are prone to aging and damage in high temperature environments, so the nipples should be replaced regularly.
Replace the pacifier in time after use
When the pacifier is eaten by the baby, it means that the pacifier has been completely covered by the baby's mouth and is no longer suitable for the baby. At this time, the baby should be replaced with a new pacifier hole in time.
In addition, after the baby has used it for a period of time, it is also necessary to check in time whether the nipple hole of the feeding bottle is damaged or deformed!
When the nipple hole becomes bigger, it should be replaced in time
After the baby starts to grow teeth, he will grasp the pacifier with his hands and bite out many teeth marks. This is because the baby's gums will be slightly congested after teething, which will cause the baby a lot of discomfort. At this time, the pacifier should be replaced in time.
Babies have trouble breathing while breastfeeding
Some mothers will find that the baby often has difficulty breathing when breastfeeding. This is because the baby's nose is not smooth and needs help to breathe smoothly.
When breastfeeding the baby, first press the baby's nose lightly with your fingers, and then gently push the pacifier into the baby's mouth, so that the baby can breastfeed smoothly.
Frequent cleaning and disinfection of pacifiers
After feeding your baby every time, be sure to rinse the pacifier with clean water, especially to thoroughly clean the milk stains, milk dirt and other dirt on the pacifier.
Cleaning method: first wash off the milk, milk powder, dirt, etc. on the pacifier, and then rinse the pacifier with water.
Disinfection method: Boil in boiling water for 10 minutes.When purchasing a pacifier, you can choose a liquid silicone baby pacifier, because it is resistant to high temperatures and will not produce harmful substances after boiling.
Warm reminder: after feeding your baby, you must carefully check whether the nipple is stuck by milk and milk powder. If so, you should replace the nipple immediately to avoid danger caused by the baby eating by mistake.
