| What do you call your baby's pacifier? | | I know a lot of people have nicknames for their baby's pacifier. Like binky, or paci.
We call our son's "PoPo". I have no idea where that came from. My husband just started calling it that.
I was just curious what other pacifier nicknames are being used. | |
| | Baby...Pacifier | | Do you think that pacifiers really helps babies? I'm not really sure but I think that they might be giving our babies stomach aches. Because they are sucking the pacifier too much and they could be sucking in air with it. What do you think? | |
| | Problems caused by your baby's pacifier... | | While pacifiers have taken on a standard appearance, with teat, mouth shield, and handle, there have always been things which a baby can suck on for comfort.
Problems caused by their use
If a pacifier is dipped in a sugary substance like syrup or honey (a practice employed by some) it may cause dental caries in emerging teeth. Feeding honey to infants is also dangerous due to the risk of botulism.Infant may use pacifier or thumb or fingers to soothe themselvesPacifiers have been shown to interfere with breastfeeding, especially if introduced within the first 6 weeks of life.
Children who suck pacifiers may be more prone to ear infections (otitis media); the relationship was demonstrated in the journal Pediatrics in September 2000. See also thumb sucking.
Some older infants may have delayed speech development due to the pacifier's constant presence in their mouths preventing them from practising their speaking skills.
Some believe that pacifiers, if used for too long, may cause crooked teeth.Problems remedied by their use
Researchers have found that "Use of a pacifier is associated with a substantial reduction in the risk of SIDS". (Sudden infant death syndrome). A... | |

| Husband sucks his Thumb in his sleep! | | My friend who was recently remarried two months ago just called me to tell me that last night she got up to go to the bathroom and saw her new husband sucking his thumb. She was in shock. When she told me I just laughed and said no way stop joking with me. She said no I am serious. I am still in disblief and just had to post about this. I am waiting for my hubby to get home to tell him. Is this normal? I have never heard of this in my life. What should she do? I need some advice to give her. | |
| | Here is something kind of interesting, tell me what you think? | | Hey friends, not long ago, there was a man that was bitten by a rattle snake at one of the stores. You might have heard of this on the news. Anyhow the man was bending down to pick up his baby's pacifier that had fallen on the ground. When he bent down the rattlesnake came out of the bushes and bit him. Now the rattlesnake was on the store property. Do you think that there are grounds for a lawsuit? Do you think that the owners of the store should be held liable? Tell me your thoughts on it. Thanks for sharing, Happy mylot![em]happy[/em] BTW, I think the man is doing okay, presently he just wants to get home to his wife and baby. Also would you be thinking about suing someone if this happened to you? | |
| | Aggrevation | | I know this is a long shot, but here is what I would like to ask: "For either a father or a mother who work hard all day long, spend hours of the day in traffic going from assignment to assignment, getting home and having to do so much that even the slightest facial movement or the continuous dropping of a baby's pacifier can be too much aggravation." This is not to say that the babies in the household are not loved, because they are, but need some help in how to deal with this. I hope this makes sense.Thanks so much. | |

| Dealing with wild children.... | | So this tax season wasn't too bad. Usually we tax preparers play multiple roles one being babysitter/entertainer for our clients children. I only had one family that totally wore me out by the time I was done with thier taxes I needed a nap lol. They had three children. Two girls and a boy. The boy was 3 and literally climbing the walls. He was hanging off the divider, on top of the desk, under the desk all the while the poor mother was desperatly trying to get him to calm down while dad just stood there and watched not saying a word. Well the older child about 9 started talking to the baby in the stroller and had taken the baby's pacifier out of her mouth and dad went ballistic on the 9 year old while doing nothing about monkey boy climbing everywhere and touching everything!!! Well the last thing the boy did was manage to fall headfirst in the trash can. Like I said I was exhausted by the time they left and so was my coworkers who were watching the whole thing. Ever have to deal with wild children? | |
