Toward Ecosophy

I know there is disagreement about whether or not to use pacifiers. If you decide to use pacifiers, there are some that are designed to help the palate form properly. (Rather than being round bulbs on the end, they are sort of flattened on the underside.) I haven't bought a pacifier in 25 years, but back when I did buy them, they were a little more expensive than regular pacifiers. The money savings came later... a well-formed palate encourages teeth to grow straight. Both me and my husband wore braces in our youth. Our daughter has incredibly straight teeth and did not need any orthodontic work at all.
