Pacifiers Linked to Ear Infections
... Parents should avoid using a pacifier in infants who are prone to ear infections, research suggests. In a five-year study of almost 500 Dutch children researchers found almost double the risk of recurrent ear infections in those who used a pacifier. Writing in the Family Practice journal they said d ...
