Rekan netters,
Apakah kebiasaan ngempeng bisa berakibat buruk ? soalnya balita saya sejak
umur 2 bulan ngempeng terus, karena saya tidak memberi ASI lagi sejak umur
tersebut, apakah ada pengaruh terhadap susunan geliginya ? Saya sudah coba
kurangi frekuensi penggunaanya, empeng hanya saya kasih kalau mau tidur,
kalau nggak begitu dia nggak akan bisa tidur.Mohon sarannya. Thank's
Shandra

> * See the dummy as a short-term lifesaver, not a long-term habit or

> 10-12 months.
> * Never dip your child's dummy into anything sweet - this can lead to
> tooth
> decay.
> * If your baby is still using a dummy when he is starting to speak,
> discourage him from trying to talk with it in his mouth
>
> Tips to help your toddler kick the habit
> Persuading your baby or child to live without his dummy can be hard work,
> but the following guidelines should help:
> * Make a clean break - most babies and toddlers will fret for only two or

> * An alternative is to go for gradual reduction - for example, start
