Proper Use of a Paci?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I feel a little silly posting this but here goes... 

 

I originally had a paci for babies 0-3 months, when I used it my mouth would hurt. So I got an adult sized one thinking it was just too small. Now I am using the adult one and my mouth still hurts when I use it.

 

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a specific way it should be sitting in my mouth to avoid pain?

Hmmm I use the 6month+ ones and sometimes my teeth do get a little sore. If I use it while I'm laying on my back it's less sore though. Idk if that helps at all.... Good luck!

I found that pacifiers made with softer rubbers helped reduce the toothaches I got. Also, I second meows' suggestion.

I decided to try something. I have had it in my mouth for about an hour and a half now and it seems the pain is subsiding. But I'm now curious if I am going to have to deal with that initial pain every time I use it.. 

 

Thank you Panda God, I will take that into consideration with future purchases.

For the adult pacis it often depends what type of nipple it is because they big shield ones have a different kind to the small shield ones also depends on the shape of it as the cherry nipple really hurts adult or otherwise for me but the baby orthadontic nipple hurts less for me.

I've used several paci nipple sizes and honestly they've all hurt my teeth. I think it's just an issue you gotta deal with unfortunatelu

I have an adult paci with a big shield, it hurts my teeth/ mouth if I keep it too long. Sadly I don't think paci are made to be used for more than 30 minutes... :'(

 

I still sleep with mine anyway :)

Overall just don't use it too much.

 

Naturally adults no longer need to teethe and it's unnecessary, so big ppl mouths aren't like "yay a thing to nom on to soothe muhself".

 

It's like "oh god my jaw, i've had a thing crammed in my mouth for 30mins+".

I rarely use it and I usually only use it for like 10 minutes at a time. Last night I used it for close to 2 hours and it started to stop hurting.

With my baby sized one I just chewed on the teet instead of sucking cause just having it in my mouth all the way hurt too much. So I started resting it off to the side and chewing it.

 

I'm really not sure what the difference between adult ones are lol. I didn't use one as a child and my kid didn't use them so I'm really new to pacis in general.

I use one for babies of 12+ and it hurts a bit if i sore but i used to have one for 3months+ and it was worst.

I can recommend you use some that are softer in the nipple like softer silicon. You can ask the material it is made of before buying ♥♥

Mine is medical grade silicone it says.
