Like so many things related to parenting, there are both pros and cons to sleeping with a pacifier at night. Here are a few things to consider when making this decision for you and your child:
There’s evidence that sleeping with a pacifier can help your little one get a restorative night of rest. It also appears to lower the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
On the other hand, pacifier use at night can interfere with breastfeeding and may also contribute to dental issues, ear infections and oral yeast infections.
