Just recieved this from Medscape:
Pacifiers May Help Prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome CME
*News Author: Laurie Barclay, MD
CME Author: Charles Vega, MD, FAAFP*
"In consideration of potential adverse effects, we recommend pacifier
use for infants up to one year of age, which includes the peak ages for
SIDS risk and the period in which the infant's need for sucking is
highest," the authors conclude. "For breastfed infants, pacifiers should
be introduced after breastfeeding has been well established."
Personally I would like to know what is "well established". I would
like these authors to try to establish pacifier use in an exclusively
breastfed 2 month old!
