Baby Pacifiers -- Do You Use Them?

From what I understand, there is a lot of debate regarding whether the use of baby pacifiers is ok, or whether it does harm to your baby. Since babies are born wanting to suck and the sucking seems to soothe them, I personally don't see the harm in using them. I actually tried to use one, but my son wouldn't take it; however, I know people that swear by using pacifiers and wouldn't be caught without one. If you're undecided, the Mayo Clinic has come up with a useful list of do's and don'ts of using baby pacifiers that may assist you with your decision.

That is helpful information about pacifiers! I have a product idea that would make the pacifier more useful and I could use you and your readers help to make this product! Please vote for me on ideablob.com so that it can become a reality.

The idea is a pacifier that lights up when it falls out of a child's mouth. Making it easier for parent and child to find. Vote Here: Light-up Pacifier
