Spending long hours each day patting, shushing, rocking, bouncing, and cuddling your little one in the hopes of calming them can sometimes feel frustratingly ineffective. However, there’s a natural instinct in babies to suck, and this is where baby soothers, dummies, or pacifiers come to the rescue.
