Can a 1-month-old baby sleep with a pacifier?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

A 1-month-old can sleep with a pacifier. In fact, the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) notes that pacifier use in the early months may have a protective effect against Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). However, two important points: the pacifier must be clean and one-piece, never attached with a string or chain. Additionally, if the pacifier falls out of baby's mouth during sleep, there's no need to replace it — let the baby sleep without it. If your baby accepts the pacifier, that's fine; if they reject it, don't force it.
