1. The silicone material should be soft enough. Infants' gums are very delicate, and the quality of the material directly affects their sucking and feeding comfort. This minimizes damage to the child's teeth.
2. Check if the hole is large enough for easy sucking. When purchasing, check the hole size first, and try sucking on it to see if it's easy.
3. Generally, choosing a reputable brand of pacifier is more reliable. Avoid products that are yellowish or other colors. Silicone is usually milky white, colorless, and odorless.
4. When using a pacifier, ensure the nipple and butterfly wings are securely attached. Make sure the entire nipple is larger than the child's mouth to prevent it from being sucked in and causing a hazard.
5. The butterfly wings of the pacifier should ideally be curved and have ventilation holes to allow airflow and saliva drainage, preventing angular cheilitis or eczema.
6. Replace the pacifier if it is deformed, damaged, or otherwise damaged. Generally, a pacifier only has a lifespan of about three months.
