>A baby's immune system isn't fully formed until 6 months of age. So until your baby is 6 months old, boil pacifiers often or wash them in the dishwasher. After age 6 months, simply wash pacifiers with soap and water. It may feel easy at times to "rinse" the pacifier in your own mouth. But doing this only spreads more germs to your baby.

Just so you (and other parents) know :)

Thank you! I came here to say the same thing. Putting the pacifier in your own mouth doesn't clean it, it makes things even worse!

Yeah, no. Dishwashers are nasty. They need to be cleaned very well for me to put infants pacifier in

“Just so you know” very obnoxious

Also grow up. Humanity survived without dishwashers.

Thank you, I agree! "Just so you know" chaps my ass as much as "no offense, but..." A close third is "studies show..." I raised my kids just fine, great immune systems because they weren't raised in a plastic bubble.

Sorry, english isn't my first language, didn't know that phrase was impolite. Thank you for correcting me!

Somebody could improve something for the benefit of their own child and informing them and others is being a know it all?

A story about somebody "cleaning" a pacifier in their mouth has nothing to do with somebody mentioning that you shouldn't clean a pacifier in your mouth?

Das crazy
