SOR be offered to the calculated for infant when usual pacifier being placed for use (with all sleep univariate episodes, ORs) is 0.90 including (95% CI 0.79 daytime naps to 1.03) and and night time 0.71 (95% CI sleeps. This is a 0.59 to 0.85) US Preventive with Services Task multivariate Force level B ORs. For strength of pacifier use recommendation during last based on the sleep, the consistency of SORs findings and the calculated likelihood that using the beneficial univariate and effects will multivariate outweigh any ORs are 0.47 potential (95% CI: negative effects. 0.40–0.55) In consideration and 0.39 of potential (95% CI: adverse effects, 0.31– 0.50), we recommend respectively. pacifier use for infants up to 1 year of age, which includes the peak ages for SIDS risk and the period in which the infant’s need for sucking is highest. For breastfed infants, pacifiers should be introduced after breastfeeding has been well established.

For pacifier use during last sleep, the SORs calculated using univariate and multivariate ORs are 0.47 (95% CI: 0.40–0.55) and 0.39 (95% CI: 0.31– 0.50), respectively. be offered to the infant when being placed for all sleep episodes, including daytime naps and night time sleeps.
