David and Victoria Beckham's daughter Harper, who is 4, was seen out with her dad sucking on a pacifier and this has sparked major debate amongst parents and health experts who feel a child this age was too old to be using a dummy. Health experts say parents who allow their children to do this after a certain age risk stunting their kid's speech and put their teeth at risk of damage.
They say pacifiers are recommended only for small babies, usually to sooth or settle them whenever they are restless. But there are people who claim they used a dummy until they were 7 and nothing happened to their teeth or speech. What do you guys think?

ReplyDeleteWhat parents allow their kids to do is their business, Linda u should worry about how to marry & have ur own kids rather than carry this mentally myopic story! U think Beckam is foolish & doesn't know what he's doing? Think again!
DeleteNo wonder them go begin behave like mumu
DeleteShe's not too old.
DeleteThe pacifer is better than her sucking finger.
Ha! So she can walk? Cos na so so carry carry dem dey do with dis gal, at a point I was made to blv she doesn't know how to use her legs....she is their baby oooo! baby of d family... so I totally understand

Believe me Beckham has enough experts to advice him on what's best for his kid.If shes using it,its for a reason
ReplyDeleteAbi..
DeleteIt is better than sucking her fingers.
DeleteAnd getting her off tht dummy is going to be another war.. It's not right.
DeleteShe's probably being pampered as the only daughter and the last born and it won't help her mental growth.. I know because...
I think they should have stopped it before she turned two. I've always thought pacifier looked so cute on babies. Couldn't get my little girl to hang onto it for even a minute even as a baby.

ReplyDeleteI think it's inappropriate to be using pacifier at 4. It shows weak parenting.

DeleteI think it is none of my business
ReplyDeleteLinda! :-) u n I knw this sight is common once u step out of d shores of Nigeria:-) It has become a common sight at d mall, airport etc thats its difficult to tell d age of d child.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, as for affecting the teeth n speech, I'm not an expert. All I know is niger kids throws the pacifier out once they realise nothing coming out of it :-)!
People should learn to mind their business ,you too Linda...u can't tell a parent how to train their children... Her parents know what's best for her so all other people should keep their opinions to themselves..
ReplyDeletePacifiers are alternatives to stop kids from sucking their thumbs. Therefore experts have just no clues as to what a child wants. I used to drink my milk not from a cup but from a feeding bottle till I was 9yrs old. Now my teeth is with a great smile and i am intellectually excellent. Abeg they should leave kids alone. Would they prefer her to grow up like kylie jenner or hold a gun? Atleast this kid still wants to remain a kid. Let it be.
ReplyDeleteGud for her.
ReplyDeleteThe girl is 2 ooooo take it easy where did you manufacture 4 from???
ReplyDeleteLOL my cousin used a feeding bottle till he was like 5!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. My baby is 2 and she's so attached to it. Even more than before. Been looking for ways to get rid of it! God help me. Lola!

ReplyDeleteMy sis use a feeding bottle for 8yrs until my grandmother came arnd and burnt it in her presence dt whn she stop and she cry for lik 3days always asking for her feeding bottle. she is so attached to it and it difficult for my mum to stop her. The lil girl can be attached to it too.

ReplyDeleteDadas lil gal can never be too ol.
ReplyDeleteAll i know is that Beckham is HOT!!!!!! damn it.
ReplyDeleteI am a dentist and I can categorically say ds: once a child is beyond 4yrs old n he/she stills sucks either the finger or dummy there is going to be dental malalignment in her permanent dentition when he or she is starts erupting permanent teeth but if the habit stops bfore age 4, the aftermath is reversible. The anomaly is usually seen at the front teeth Solotobee@gmail.com
