The pacifier is an amazing tool for sleep! Here are my top tips for the pacifier use! 1️⃣ Teach your baby to insert the pacifier themselves! As early as 5 months, use tummy time as a chance to build motor skills and muscle memory to grab the pacifier.
 2️⃣ Leave an army of pacifiers (4-6) in the crib for easy access for your baby to grab. Pro tip: Get the glow in the dark ones from @mambaby_usa 
 3️⃣ When putting your baby to sleep, put the pacifiers in their hand instead of their mouth. This promotes that muscle memory! 
 3️⃣ Teach your baby to drop and leave the pacifiers in the crib! Keeping the pacifier for sleep after the age of 5 months can be a way to promote self soothing in other ways outside the crib and can create a positive association with the crib. BONUS TIP: If your baby gets to the age where they are throwing the pacifier out on purpose, then it may be an attention seeking tactic and may be a sign it’s time to reconsider pacifier use! _________________ #pacifiertips #pacifierlife #pacifierhack #bedtimetricks #babysleeptips #sleeptraining #megoleary #nycsleepconsultant #nycsleeptraining #babysleep #toddlersleeptips #sleeptips #motherhood #Hobokenmoms #fairfieldmoms #atlantamoms #bostonmoms #denvermoms #westchesternymoms #hudsonvalleymoms #austinmoms #bayareamom #uesmoms #uwsmoms #brooklynmoms #motherhoodunplugged #nycmoms #nycbaby _________________ ▫️sleep tips ▫️ pacifiers ▫️sleep training ▫️bedtime tips
