Where did my pacifier go? (Photo: Getty Images)Getty
Could it really be useful to suck?
Yes, some parents are afraid. When their baby's pacifier falls out of the baby's mouth on the floor, they can not clean it with soap and water, put it in the dishwasher, or boil it, as recommended by the Mayo Clinic. . No, instead, they use their mouth to suck the "clean" lollipop before reinserting it into the baby's mouth.
The Mayo Clinic recommends against this last practice. Why? As careful as you can be with your tongue, your mouth is dirty. It is full of microbes. Millions of them. That's why, if you lick a pie and leave it on the counter, you will end up finding nasty surprises. That's why the Mayo Clinic says that "flushing" a lollipop in your own mouth will "no longer transmit germs to your baby".
However, does a study presented at the annual scientific meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) in Seattle suggest a possible benefit from this practice? Eliane Abou-Jaoude, M.D., allergy researcher in the Henry Ford Health System, was the lead author of this study. It involved interviewing 128 mothers and asking them about their lollipop cleansing habits. Most (53) mothers reported using soap and water, and 30 mothers indicated that they usually boiled lollipops in water or used the dishwasher. However, 9 said that they were using their mouths.
The researchers then determined the correlation between these responses and the detected levels of Immunoglobulin E in the babies from birth and having reached the age of six months and 18 months. Immunoglobulin E, or IgE (abbreviated as "Ie E"), is a type of antibody produced by the immune system when the body is threatened by bacteria, viruses, or others. particular invaders. Normally, you should not find more than small amounts of IgE antibodies in the blood. However, IgE levels may increase when a person tends to overreact to allergens. Thus, elevated levels of IgE may be associated with allergies. As Dr. Abu-Jaoude explains in this video, his team's study found that babies whose mothers cleaned the lollipop with their mouths tended to have IgE level significantly lower at 18 months:
Of course, a study presented at a medical conference is not the same as that published in a reputable scientific journal, evaluated by peers. Time will tell if this study will eventually exceed the rigors of scientific peer review. Also, avoid drawing broader conclusions from a study that included only 9 parents who used the mouthwash method for lollipops. In addition, this study shows only an association or correlation and does not prove that changes in IgE levels were due to sucking parents. There may have been other factors such as other parenting practices and the environmental conditions involved. For example, could 9 mothers feed their babies differently or have a cleaner home in general? Finally, the study was unable to determine which of the infants finally developed allergies.
Nevertheless, the results of the study should not necessarily bring your mouth and lollipop to the ground if you still use one. These results are consistent with the results of a study published 5 years ago in the journal pediatrics. This study analyzed data on 184 infants and found that 65 infants whose parents had been cleansed had 88% lower risk of asthma, 63% less risk of eczema and 63% less risk of sensitization. (reaction to allergens). at 18 months than other children. The study also found that children whose parents were breastfed had different types of bacteria in their mouths than other children.
What these two studies seem to confirm is that early exposure to different microbes can actually help strengthen and strengthen your immune system. Seeing different microbes while your immune system is still developing can help better recognize dangerous invaders compared to more benign things such as foods or standard substances in the environment. Microbes can be like an experience in life. If you have not seen enough in life, you may overreact when something happens, as the movie shows. 40 years virgin. Babies do not need to be sanitized with a hand sanitizer.
However, the results of these studies do not prove that it is good to use your mouth to clean the pacifier of a baby. First of all, if you clean something with your mouth, you essentially clean something with your mouth. Everything on the floor is now in your mouth. There are reasons why you do not regularly lick the floor. Second, your mouth may not be a very good cleaning device. Anything on the floor could still be on the lollipop after being in the mouth. Third, do you know this LMFAO song, "Sexy and I Know It"? Well, you can be sick and not know it. For example, a study published in Lancet Respiratory Medicine suggests that up to 75% of people infected with the influenza virus may have no symptoms.
Again, your mouth may be a trash bin, but it's not a dishwasher. If you regularly use your mouth as a dishwasher, you can inform your guests. Instead, the message to remember here is that one should not be paranoid to expose your baby to microbes. You do not necessarily need to keep everything around your baby super clean, away from everything and everyone, and soak it all in disinfectant. As long as your baby receives the recommended vaccines, his immune system can handle many things that are usually started. In fact, such an exhibition can actually be a good training. Maybe realize that this can keep you more peaceful as a parent.
