I think it's just a myth that, we, Pinoys used to believe. I agree with Jan. Binkies are meant to pacify babies—to soothe them since they have this relentless need for sucking. It's called a pacifier for a reason :)

Pacifiers don't cause colic. On the contrary, they actually can help soothe a colicky baby, and studies have shown that using pacifiers can reduce the chances of SIDS. So no need to worry about pacifiers. :)

Here's an article about digestive health problems in children and how you can help: https://ph.theasianparent.com/bowel-problems-in-toddlers/

Too much of use can cause colic although babies have colics naturally so get an Anti-Colic Air System pacifier so as the bottles.
