A Baby Dummy Can Help Soothe Baby to SleepWhether you love or hate the idea of a baby dummy, two-thirds of mums use dummies at one time or another. Dummies, or baby soothers, are especially good for helping to calm babies when they’re upset, helping them settle back to sleep.Recent research in the US suggests that giving babies a dummy when they go to sleep may reduce their risk of cot death by 90% as a dummy can help stop babies from cutting off their air supply when sleeping. Sucking on a baby dummy, also known as a baby pacifier can help relieve pain, which is why parents often give a dummy to their babies when they have colic or can’t be comforted. They are also good for premature babies, helping them learn to suck.
