Best 6 Pacifier Safety Tips
Not all babies need or like to have pacifiers but for some, a pacifier can be a source of comfort. In any case, if you do choose to get a pacifier for your baby, there are a couple of safety tips that you need to consider.
Don't Accessorize
Most pacifiers that have been directly released by companies have been made with an eye on safety features. The worst mistake that any parent could do would be to accessorize pacifiers or buy ones that have been modified or accessorized.
Pacifiers with unnecessary decorations and accessories would include those with dangling chains, jewels and decorative sticks protruding from the handle. Pacifiers of this kind being sold by merchants have already been recalled but some parents might still attempt to do the decorating themselves. Decorations on a pacifier could become detached and mayExamples of these decorated pacifiers are those with decorative stick on jewels or dangling attachments on the pacifier guard or handle. become choking hazards.
Don't Attach on Baby
Some parents find it inconvenient that pacifiers get lost or fall off so easily and are thus tempted to attach them on their babies with either a pin or string. Resist the urge to do this. Your baby could find a way to open a regular pin and get injured or worse, he might just ingest a detached pin. A string or ribbon on the other hand could become entangled and could strangle your baby.
Check the Pieces
Pacifiers can have multiple pieces. In such cases, make sure that you've checked all its assembled pieces together and that they're properly and firmly attached. You should test the nipple in particular by tugging at it. A teething baby might suck too aggressively and detach the nipple, thus making it a choking hazard. Watch out for recalled models especially among multiple piece pacifiers.
Do Not Make Your Own
Just as it is not safe to attach decorations to your pacifier, it is also not safe to modify anything into a pacifier. Do not attempt to reconfigure old nipples or pacifier parts into another pacifier. Your creation might not hold together well enough, and you may thus end up with a bunch of choking hazards. Store sold pacifiers have been carefully designed and tested to withstand repeated sucking and biting and should therefore be the only items that can be safely used.
Steer Clear of Liquid-Filled Pacifiers
Although it happens rarely with liquid-filled pacifiers, still, your baby could bite through the nipple and get all the liquid out. You should also avoid coating pacifiers with sugar, honey or anything sweet. This would encourage your baby to gnaw harder on a pacifier and may bite through it or develop an attachment for it.
Buy Standard Size
Standard-sized pacifiers usually have a stopper or shield that is more than one inch across an average baby's mouth. This is to prevent your baby from ingesting the whole pacifier and choking on it. The shield however should have small holes on each side to allow moisture out and air onto your baby's skin.

What's the benefit of replacing newborn pacifiers with six month old pacifiers?
My daughter is 4 and a half months old and addicted to her pacifiers! ha ha. I am noticed that her pacifiers are all "newborn" or "0 to 3 months" and I am wondering if it is worth it to go and buy six month old pacifiers or should I just stick with the ones I've got. She seems to like them just fine!
Well your child's mouth grows along with everything else. So the bigger pacifiers fit in their mouth better. My son is 13 months, and we have all different kinds of pacifiers, their all shaped different, some are newborn, some are 6 months, he doesn't care he takes whatever he can find! You don't really have to go out and get any, but chances are when your baby starts moving around they will be lost easily. My son hides his, so I have to buy a new pack every week.
