is it okay for LO to suck pacificer after fallen asleep? I tried to pull it out, I can feel that my LO is still sucking on it.. at times, he will wake up after I successfully pull the pacifier out.. most days, I will just let him suck till he himself spit out the pacificer.. which take hours after he had fallen asleep..

Personally, i feel it's okay to let them suck on it. i read that sucking on pacifirt while they sleep decrease their risk of SIDS and babies will self soothe.

My Pd likes them for that reason but for 1 year old or older, she makes me take away since its harder to take away as they grow older.
