Babies are known to cry frequently, especially when they are less than year old. Most parents presume that when a baby cries, it is only because it is hungry, sleepy or need a diaper change. But the truth is babies mostly cry because they need to be engaged with something. Although there are toys for babies that are a little older (two years and above), infants younger than that should be made to stay away from anything small enough to be chewed, sucked on or swallowed. This means a lot of objects should be out of bounds for infants.

One of the best ways to make a baby stop crying is to engage it with a pacifier. A pacifier is a silicon or latex based round tipped object which is flat at the base, usually with a ring attached to it for holding it, that is sucked on by babies.

It is obvious that keeping the pacifier hygienic is the primary concern of every parent. This means that not only should it be sanitized everyday, if it falls down or touches anything else it should be sterilized immediately. However, it is difficult to monitor the pacifier amidst all the other necessary items that a parent needs to have by him or her at all times while the baby is around.

A convenient way to protect the pacifier is to clip it on or attach it to a pacifier holder. A pacifier holder is a clip or a chain that can be attached to the pacifier and clipped on or hung by the edge of furniture, the handle of a stroller or from a backpack.

Pacifier holders mostly come in plastic. But sometimes they can come in metals such as silver or even silicon ones. Silver pacifier holders are safer because they don’t cause lead poisoning in babies if they swallow them by mistake.

A pacifier holder should not be kept near a baby for the risk of being choked upon or swallowed. However, it is an extremely useful object to protect the pacifier from being dropped on the ground every now and then.

Pacifier holders make for great gift items for new parents. You can personalize a pacifier holder by having the name of the baby or the date of birth engraved upon it. Cartoon characters can be printed on them as well.
