Not so long ago in the United States, many hospitals banned the use of pacifiers for newborns, hoping to increase the percentage of children who are breastfed, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net However, a recent Oregon Health and Science University study found that when nurses did not give pacifiers to more than 2,200 children, breastfeeding rates plummeted, but the number of children fed baby food increased by 10 percent..

Neonatologist Greg Miller at Banner Thunderbird Medical Center is not surprised by these results.. In his opinion, if a woman is not allowed to use nipples immediately after the birth of a child, the baby will still need to somehow calm down.. And this role is played by the nipple on the formula bottle..

And breastfeeding, according to Miller, is the best form of nutrition.. Breast milk improves the functioning of the immune system, reduces the risk of developing allergies, increases the IQ of the child, promotes its growth.

Therefore, doctors, according to Miller, should convey to mothers the correctness of breastfeeding and the importance of using a pacifier.. By the way, nipples protect the child from death during sleep..
