My 8 Month Old Puts His Whole Pacifier in His Mouth, and It Is Stressing Me Out!

Hi R.,
I have never heard of putting the entire pacifier in the mouth...although my son would put the nipple and the shield around it 1/2 way in his mouth(usually under his bottom lip) But in any case it sounds very dangerous i would stop it immediately!!!! I doubt he coud swallow it but I am sure it could defianately get stuck or lodged... and he could choke! Unfortunately you will have to find another method for him at bed time...but better to be safe then sorry... good luck!

Hi,

You could try using those nuby pacifiers that are round. He shouldn't be able to fit those in his mouth.

Hope this helps!

I would throw all of them out immediately!

I would be inclined to take the pacifier away from him completely.

That is really scary stuff.

Good luck!

It is not going to hurt him because my son did it and the Dr said that he can not swallow it.
