Q: What's the Purpose....

of having a pacifier in a baby's mouth all day long??? I know a couple people that allow their children to suck on a pacifier all day. One child is 17 months and one is 1 year -- two seperate parents.

I think it interfers with language. Both children can't say anything more than mama and dada.

I don't see the purpose other than to quiet a colicky or cranky child or to use at nap/bedtime.

Move this if you have to. I didn't know where to put it.

no clue.. maybe the child was really cranky when it was young and got use to it and the parents cant take it away or the child crys... and the parents are too lazy to try to get the kid off a pacifier? i have no clue...
i hate it when i go out and see 2 year olds walking around with them in there mouth.. im mean wth who does that...
the only time i use reeses is for nap time/bedtime, because he fights sleep normally for naps

I see lots of kids besides the ones I know with them in their mouths. I don't understand.

Everytime we take .oni to .angola(the prison) there's this 4 year old who doesn't take his noonie out of his mouth the entire time!!!!!

And to top it off, he gets carried everywhere!!!

I try my hardest not to stare at him but it's sooo hard!!!

Oni only takes a noonie at nap time and at night time. But once she's all the way sleeping, I take it out of her mouth. Theres no need for it. especially if it's hanging half way out! lol!
