For my case, my baby really needs a pacifier. I did not give her pacifier for the 1st few weeks.. Like you, heard from some of my colleagues that using the pacifier will affect the teeth. However, my girl has colic and cries alot.. My PD recommended me to use pacifier to soothe her plus pacifier can reduce the risk of SIDS so I started giving my girl pacifier and I am really glad that I used it... However, not all babies like pacifiers... Pacifiers use, especially beyond the age of 4-5 can increase the chance of the teeth growing out of line.. Must wean off early to prevent this from happening.
