It is not suitable for everyone.

If you are the parent of a baby who vehemently refuses to take a pacifier - this article is for you.
You will probably often find yourself frustrated by your baby's opposition to the pacifier or the lack of interest in it, since a pacifier is a successful sedative way, but what to do, not for everyone.
Ilanit Shachori - an instructor for infant development, infant massage and sleep consultant, explains that every baby has a different need.
Just as there are those who need more touch and movement and there are those who need the sucking effect to relax, compared to those who need less.

In collaboration with JAMA
Not only the needs of the baby are the reason for the refusal of pacifiers, but also the lack of identification of the parents when it is the right time to offer the pacifier.
Many parents offer a baby a pacifier when he is not comfortable, for example from a stuck grapefruit.
In this case, the pacifier causes him to vomit reflex and he pushes it with his tongue out and hence the way to constant resistance is short.
If you think this may be the case with you - try to offer the pacifier to the baby precisely when he is calm and relaxed.
Are there benefits to living without a pacifier?
Definitely. Perhaps in the beginning it seemed like a disadvantage, but may be surprised to hear that there are some benefits to the baby's sucking refusal yours:
1. The baby finds other ways of calming regardless of the parents - it can be a touch of H"smici "bear's ticket, or even speak for himself . The child will develop independence because he will not be dependent on anything and no one will help him, like putting the pacifier in his mouth when he falls (and when he does not know how to take it back himself).
2. Releasing your dependence on the pacifier - Yes, the parents' dependence on the pacifier is also something that should not be ignored. Remember what happened when you left the house and forgot the pacifier? Well, such a drama would not occur to a pacifier refuser, and that's a good thing. You can leave the house without fear of forgetting the national sedative.
3. "Saving" on one weaning down the road - weaning from bottles, parting from diapers - your baby will have to give up a lot of things as he grows older, and if there is no pacifier this one weaning is less painful.
After reading these things one can only hope that you can look in a positive light at your baby's pacifier refusal, and know that even if it seems difficult, it has, nonetheless, quite a bit of gain now and further down the road.
The Jama app
was established with the aim of addressing mothers of babies from birth to age three, and centralizing for them content, activities, tips from experts and videos that will accompany them throughout this challenging period.
All the content in the app "grows" together with the baby and is precisely adapted to its developmental stages, so that the mothers receive only what is relevant to them and interests them at any given moment.
The Jama app is the place for mothers in Israel to meet and get to know other mothers around them, and create new and exciting friendships in the fascinating journey.
