@Kadenn True. My child swims surprisingly well because we started lessons at an early age. As for me, I never learned because I have a fear of water.

It’s normal to feel stressed as a new mom, especially with pacifiers! You could try a pacifier with a built-in plush toy or a larger shield, which sometimes helps it stay in place. Another option is to swaddle your baby, which might help keep the pacifier from moving too much during naps. Some parents also try gently tilting the baby’s head back slightly after they fall asleep, which can prevent it from falling out as easily.
