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?

Believe me Beckham has enough experts to advice him on what's best for his kid.If shes using it,its for a reason
Maybe she sucks her lips.
parents chose whts best for their kids. which ever one,you hv reason for what u chose for ur baby.
I think it's inappropriate to be using pacifier at 4. It shows weak parenting.
It's better dan sucking her fingers
They know best wats good for their daughter

Na dis kain pikin I De pinch @ any given opportunity. What nonsense!
I think it is none of my business
Linda! :-) 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.
Anyway, 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..
Pacifiers 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.
Gud for her.
The girl is 2 ooooo take it easy where did you manufacture 4 from???
LOL my cousin used a feeding bottle till he was like 5!
Hmmm. 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!
What 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!
This should be their headache now

#itMUSTendINpraise
She is ooo
Idiot! Wetin u know about parenting? Maybe the girl sucks her lips or finger and they are trying to correct it.
It culd actually b discouraged. Its nt healthy
Hahahahaha wicked girl willy
The parents knows best. I can't comment on another person's baby. Not my business
My lil sis is 4 and still uses it...I don't think it's a big deal though....
No wonder them go begin behave like mumu
darling that's the only way u keep their mouth shot mine won't take from day if not I would have let her have it till eternity. london children too cry I beg
Dy knw wats best for their child nd dy dont need an advice so whether u discuss it here or nt it mks no diffmy dear
Abi..
It is better than sucking her fingers.
let kids be kids for as long as they can.... that girl doesn't look bothered...
And getting her off tht dummy is going to be another war.. It's not right.
She's probably being pampered as the only daughter and the last born and it won't help her mental growth.. I know because...
I suck my thumb and i am still sucking my thumb at 23. My teeth are ok, not bucked but perfectly aligned.. I really want to stop though. But cant help myself
Wat planet are u from? 2 ko.is dis north west? Open ur eyes.
She's not too old.
The pacifer is better than her sucking finger.
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.

Na their fault? 4year olds in my school here in Nigeria have started reading.....this pikin go tun Mumu if care I'd not taken
Dadas lil gal can never be too ol.
HA!!!
All i know is that Beckham is HOT!!!!!! damn it.
Bush Linda Ikeji, chances are its lollipop.
I 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
You are retarded!!! Weak parenting ko, weak sibling ni
But eh..this little girl is too fine biko!,,chei the finest among all
Na dem sabi
How nobody's always hv a say in other people's life's! Linda concentrate on yours! No be every yeye story wey u go carry. As if it will change anyfin!!
