For infants and young children, pacifiers serve as a source of comfort and security, helping soothe them to sleep. MAM pacifiers are renowned for their innovative designs and high quality, offering parents peace of mind knowing that their little ones are using a safe and effective product.
1. Orthodontic Design:
MAM pacifiers feature an orthodontic nipple designed to promote healthy oral development while respecting the natural shape of the palate and jaw. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, pacifiers with orthodontic designs can help prevent malocclusion (crooked teeth) and other dental problems.
2. Self-Soothing:
Pacifiers can help infants learn to self-soothe, reducing crying and promoting independence. A study published in the Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics found that infants who used pacifiers were less likely to experience sleep disruptions.
3. Reduced Risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS):
While the exact mechanism is not fully understood, several studies have suggested that pacifier use may be associated with a reduced risk of SIDS. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends offering a pacifier at nap time and bedtime to potentially lower the risk of this tragic condition.
MAM offers a wide range of pacifiers to suit different ages, developmental stages, and preferences:
