Paci Babies Beware

Ok, so you know that Elly was a serious pacifier addict until a couple of months ago. Well...just so you all know...we have conclusive evidence that the nuk was doing MUCHO damage on her teeth! In the 3 (?) months she has been nukieless, her teeth have moved to a more normal alignment and her "open bite" has closed completely. Completely. I had heard from different people that nuks were ok, it was thumbs that were bad, or that it was not going to damage her teeth as long as she only used it at night and got rid of it by 4ish, and that open bites were just genetic. Well, not so much! She must have been sucking that thing like there was no tomorrow! Now, I am not saying you shouldn't use them at all, but maybe get rid of them if you see their teeth getting all Stitchish. Just my $.02 from Lessons Learned.

See the gap in her teeth even when she closed her jaw...

She could put a straw in it!

And now...voila! Closed.

Check out that smile!
