A Parent’s Guide to Safer Pacifier Use

Parenting is beautiful, but let’s be real—it’s also hard. Between sleepless nights, fussy moments, and the juggle of daily life, it is completely understandable why many families turn to pacifiers as a comfort tool. If you’ve ever used one (or plan to), this guide is here to support you—not to judge.

The team at Myo Munchee, made up of parents themselves, took a deep dive into the research to bring you kind, practical, and evidence-based advice on how to use pacifiers in the safest, healthiest way possible—for both you and your baby.

What’s the Big Deal About Pacifiers?

Pacifiers can help soothe babies, support premature infants, and even lower the risk of SIDS. But long-term use—especially beyond infancy—may contribute to issues like:

• Speech and dental development problems
• Ear infections
• Delays in social and facial development
• Breastfeeding interference

That doesn’t mean pacifiers are bad—it just means timing and moderation are key.

Tools to Help the Transition

Myo Munchee developed the Bebe , a chewable designed for babies 6 months and older. It’s a helpful bridge between pacifier use and independent chewing, which may help to support healthy nerve and jaw development, while giving little ones something soothing and fun to use.

Final Thoughts

You’re doing an amazing job. Every child and every family is different, and this guide is here to inform—not to pressure. The most important thing is that your baby feels safe, loved, and supported as they grow. And so do you.
