The dangers of a pacifier!!

Teagan never took a pacifier, she had her thumb and thats all she needed. Harper however will on occasion take a pacifier so we have a few around for her.

When you start to think of all the dangers in your household and choking hazards I have always thought about the steps, and the cleaning supplies, the medicine cabinet, the outlets, bumpers in your crib, etc.....

Never did I think a pacifier would a danger to my crawling 7 month old daughter Harper. A pacifier is made for babies right?? It should not be a choking hazard right?? Well guess what your wrong!! Harper managed to stuff the whole pacifier in her mouth plastic part and all and let me tell you her red, gagging, CHOKING face scared me!!!

Fortunately the pacifier is not small enough to get into her airway but I did have a little bit of trouble getting it out of her mouth. So yes she is ok, but now she can no longer have a pacifier without extremely close supervision!!

Only my child would choke on a pacifier made for babies!!
