The constant sucking can cause harm to the Eustachian tube, making it more difficult for the middle ear to drain. Nurses involved in the study suggest parents take pacifiers away during playtime and allow toddlers to use them only when falling asleep...
Next, more states could begin programs like one in Oregon that offers all patients a form stating their preferences on resuscitation, tube feedings and so on.
