Why Does Baby Sent?

Not all parents know that the wrong selection of the nipple entails the wrong formation of the child's bite. In turn, the bite affects facial features, and prevention of bite anomalies should be done literally from birth, since the bite is formed long before the appearance of teeth. Ideally, the right bite is formed, mainly with breastfeeding. But if this is not possible, the mothers resort to feeding from the bottle and teach the baby to the nipple. But at the same time, several errors are allowed. First - nipples of irregular shape are used, the second - too large aperture. Orthodontists have found that with the use of round nipples, abnormalities of the dentoalveolar system often occur.

Is the nipple a necessity or an excess?

The first stage of development of the baby is oral, when the sucking reflex is a very important tactile contact of the lips, larynx and tongue with a pacifier. This is one of the necessary stages of development of the child, which can not be neglected. Nervousness and increased excitability of the child largely depends on the unmet need, taking away the pacifier is a huge stress for the child. And if the child is breastfed, then the dummy additionally trains the jaw muscles, and the baby is not lazy to suck the breast. So, what's better for a child: to suck a pacifier or finger? The answer is obvious, since it is easier to disaccustom from a pacifier, and the finger is always "with itself", and the formation of an occlusion from sucking a finger leaves much to be desired.

Recommendations for the correct choice of nipples.

There are certain recommendations for choosing the right nipples. According to their configuration all nipples are divided into nipple (its size depends on the length of the sky) and areolar (from the height of the upper lip and the length of the mouth slit) part. The bottle-nipple system should have an air valve so that the child does not swallow excess air. If the hole in the top of the bottle is slightly offset from the top of the nipple, this allows the food to flow properly into the mouth and helps digestion.

Terms of use of the pacifier.

After buying, be sure to wash the soap with soap and boil it for several minutes. Keep it in a special box to avoid dust. Must be a stock of identical in form dummies, as the child gets used to one form and refuses the other. If during a dream the child has lost a pacifier and does not cry, do not put it back into his mouth.

All pacifiers have their own size, which is selected depending on the age of the baby. 1st size - - for babies up to 6 months; 2-nd size - from 6 months to 1.5 years; The third size is from 1.5 to 2 years.

Soothers are silicone and latex. Silicone - more durable, but they are tougher. Latex - softer, in structure they resemble the mother's breast, but they boil more quickly when they boil. Silicone pacifier is recommended to change after 5-6 weeks, and latex - after 4-5, and if the damage appeared much earlier, you need to immediately change the nipple.

To date, manufacturers are offered and improved modern nipples: with which it is comfortable to sleep on the stomach, with backlighting. But the most important thing is that the nipple has a large enough flap to prevent the baby from swallowing the nipple. Preference is given to pacifiers with holes for ventilation to prevent intertrigo around the mouth.

We hope that our recommendations will help you make the right choice. Health to you and your kids!
