Don’t Give Your Baby An Old Pacifier
Although it’s tempting to save money and purchase certain baby supplies second-hand, experts caution against buying used pacifiers. Some brands print an expiration date on their product packaging, but as a general rule, it’s a safe bet to change out your child’s pacifier every couple of months (especially rubber ones).
According to HealthyChildren, natural rubber can break up over time, resulting in a choking hazard if a piece of the pacifier comes loose. Always keep an eye on the pacifier’s condition and note if it has any discoloration, tears, or weak spots.
