Home Care Advice - Less Pacifier Time

Less Pacifier Time

  • Constant sucking on a pacifier can pump the stomach up with swallowed air.
  • So can sucking on a bottle with too small a nipple hole. If the formula doesn't drip out at a rate of 1 drop per second when held upside down, clean the nipple better or enlarge the hole.
