Join us for an essential conversation every parent needs to hear about one of the most debated topics in infant care: pacifier use. In this evidence-based episode, we dive deep into the science behind pacifiers, exploring both the surprising benefits and concerning risks that could impact your child's development for years to come.

We'll uncover the latest research on how pacifiers can reduce SIDS risk while examining their potential effects on dental health, speech development, and oral motor function. You'll hear real parent experiences, including a successful early weaning strategy at just 5 months old, and discover why timing matters more than you might think.

Whether you're a new parent facing the pacifier decision, struggling with weaning, or curious about innovative designs like the Ninni pacifier, this episode provides the expert insights and practical strategies you need to make informed choices for your family. We'll also explore the critical connection between pacifier use and myofunctional development – a topic that could reshape how you think about this common parenting tool.

Perfect for expectant parents, new families, and anyone interested in evidence-based parenting approaches to infant sleep, comfort, and oral health development.
