Is giving a pacifier to a 1 month baby healthy or not?

it can be unhealthy in some cases. Pacifiers should be washed often to avoid germs. According to some doctors pacifiers can increase the risk for ear infection and other illnesses. I think sometimes people forget that this is something going in your childs mouth and should be washed frequently and by washing it I don't mean to pop it in your mouth and suck on it. I see so many women do that after a pacifier falls on a floor for instance and I just have to roll my eyes. Just like anything you'd stick in your childs mouth (or your own) you should clean it often. Otherwise its a personal choice a person needs to make for themselves and their baby. Babies like to suck on something and a pacifier satisfies that want.
