- 26. Is a pacifier good or bad? - Top
- Some babies really have a need to suck. They will nurse or drink until they are over-full, and then may act colicy. For these babies, a pacifier may be helpful. It can satisfy their need for sucking without over-filling their bellies.
Other babies have no use for a pacifier and should not be encouraged to use one. - Updated: March 5, 2001
