It is a mother's instinct to know how to use a pacifier, but new mothers may need a fresh helping hand when it comes to letting them know of the process.This article can be used when this mother needs help.
Step 1: Understand why your baby is upset.
Make a mental list of reasons why a pacifier won't fix your baby's crying.There are so many reasons.Maybe it's the baby who doesn't want to wear a diaper and is hungry and coming due-time for a fresh bottle of formula, or maybe the room is not right and it is time to switch to a new diaper.These aren't the only reasons, but are two of the more common ones.
Step 2: Find the pacifier.
Although your system is different than everyone else's, some of the more common places the pacifier could be kept could include on a shelf on the changing table, on top of a drawer, or in a cup-holder to the nearest baby stroller.You know your house and organization style the best.
Step 3: If you want to match yourself with the baby, hold the pacifier by the holder mechanism.
Step 4: The pacifier's face mask has a holder mechanism and knob.
Step 5: The pacifier should be rubbed along the child's lips.
Once they open their mouth, you can put a pacifier into it.If they are wailing at the top of their lungs, you should skip this step because nothing will help them clench down to use the pacifier until something else is solved.
Step 6: Push the pacifier into the child's mouth.
Step 7: The baby needs to accept the pacifier.
Some babies are natural accepters and can be soothed into a calmer state by accepting whatever is given to them.Other babies will reject the pacifier and push it back out.The baby may reject the pacifier if it's another reason for crying such as their diaper needs to be changed or they want food or formula.That may be more urgent.If you can't give the pacifier again, you should prepare a mental list of things the baby needs.
