how often should baby pacifiers be changed?

Pacifiers should generally be replaced every 2-3 months. Additionally, replace immediately if you notice:
- Cracks, tears, holes, or stickiness on the pacifier
- Discoloration, dullness, or deformation
- When your baby starts teething (more intense biting wears down the material)
Also, checking the pacifier before each use by tugging on it is good practice—if there's a risk of breakage, replace it immediately. Never share the same pacifier between siblings; each baby should have their own. These recommendations are based on AAP and general pediatric safety guidelines.
