There are some undeniable benefits of pacifiers for babies, including the prevention of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). However, children may experience some developmental problems if they use pacifiers for too long. For some parents, pacifiers are considered indispensable items for their children. Using pacifiers helps children fall asleep easily, and can even soothe them when they are fussy. However, you should not abuse them and let your children use them for too long, no matter how good they are.
