is it okay to give pacifier to 1 year old child   

Pacifier is an easy way to calm a cranky baby, but avoid constant use of pacifiers – try to distract the child or put them in cradle for a rocking session. If given for more than six months, pacifiers can also increase the risk of ear problems. If at all you are using it, give it one after 3 to 4 weeks or when the breast feeding is set in motion. Do not give the pacifier before a feeding session and choose a silicon pacifier for your child.
