Question
How can I help my baby give up the pacifier?
Answer
In the process of assisting your baby in giving up the pacifier, parents should invest more time and care to meet the baby’s needs and establish more parent-child interactions to reduce the baby’s dependence on the pacifier. When the baby performs well during the process, it is important to give timely encouragement and rewards, and maintain good communication with the baby to understand why they need the pacifier. Sometimes, a baby’s reliance on the pacifier may be due to a lack of security.
