baby wakes up when pacifier falls out
Hello, Tank-chan! Have you noticed how a baby wakes up when their pacifier falls out?
Hello! Yes, it's indeed quite an interesting phenomenon. From what I understand, this happens because the pacifier is providing a source of comfort to the baby. When it falls out, the baby may sense the absence and wake up.
That's very perceptive of you. But, why does the baby need a pacifier in the first place?
Well, a pacifier can mimic the natural soothing effect of breastfeeding. Some babies have a strong need to suck, even when they're not hungry. That's when a pacifier can come in handy.
Does it have any side effects?
Well, using a pacifier excessively can potentially lead to dental problems in the future such as misaligned teeth. It's also suggested that parents should try to wean their children off pacifiers as they grow older, especially when they start learning to talk to prevent speech difficulties from arising.
