Using Pacifier for premature babies
Hi, my twin babies were born at 30 weeks and spent quite some time in NICU. Now they are 3.5 months old. One baby is crying often for feeds even if her stomach is full. It was very difficult to calm her. Today I offered pacifier for her and she seems to be calm. She is sucking the pacifier once in a while and sleeping. She wasn't sleeping well all these days. Now that the pacifier is helping her she seems to happy n sleeping. Is it safe to use?
