When choosing a pacifier, the most important things are:
Material: Silicone or rubber (latex)—silicone lasts longer, latex is softer but wears faster. Both are safe; it depends what your baby likes.
Shape: Orthodontic pacifiers (curved upward, shaped like a nipple) are considered least likely to affect roof of mouth and teeth. Regular round ones are common too.
Shield: Should be big enough that it won't fit in baby's mouth, with air holes so there's no suffocation risk.
One-piece design: Pacifiers made in one piece (no seams) are safer because they can't break apart.
Size by age: Pick the right size for your baby's age (0-6 months, 6+ months).
When to replace: Every 1-2 months, or sooner if it's torn, sticky, or worn.
Keep in mind that using a pacifier every night might make baby wake up looking for it; talk to your pediatrician if nighttime waking becomes a problem.
