Sucking and biting
Most babies have a strong need to suck until they are about 5 months old. Sometimes when your baby is crying it is because he is hungry, but sometimes you just can’t find a reason. You can use a soother to comfort your baby. A baby who sleeps with a soother is less inclined to roll over onto his tummy, which reduces the risk of cot death. By using a soother a baby also learns to breathe through
his nose. A soother also prevents thumb sucking.
