I gave my son one when he was a month old. It calms his down before bed. The pediatrician said babies have non-nutrative sucking neds

My daughter used one for the first week, then ditched it for her thumb. She shows no iterest in it 10 months later....and still sucks her thumb occasionally

My daughter never took one. I don`t think there`s any harm in it though..

Babies aren`t stupid.. they`ll either suck their thumbs or a paci.. and BOTH cause ortho issues. Might as well go with the paci since you can eventually take it away.

My son only takes his when he`s going down for naps or bedtime. He spits it out sometime throughout his sleep but it helps him fall asleep.

I`ve heard that baby may need braces later on if they keep the pacifier past so many months... I`m going to try not to use one at all but we will see because every kid is different.

we were heading to church one day, where we had to bring our 7 month old in with us... I tried throwing a paci in her mouth to keep her quiet (she had not touched one before then) and IT NEVER CAME OUT! Oh, so stupid. We got rid of it right before her second birthday, and that was HARD TO DO. My 3 month old wants nothing to do with a paci, so we will NOT be doing that again.

We were going to give our little one a paci for SIDS and take it away at the recommended 4-6 month area, but she refuses it anyway so she decided for us lol.

My daughter will not take one. She sometimes sucks on her hands.

As a new born cos she wanted to suck .. ie it stopped her crying so mummy could get some sleep :) She`s 4 months now and we try to only use it when she`s going to sleep.

I gave Grace one while we were still in the hospital because all she wanted to do was suck and my boobs had enough!! She still at almost 13 months loves her binkies, so i am going to have a hard time when it comes time to take it away!!! And i never had a problem with nipple confusion at all, she was breast fed exclusively for over a year!

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
