What is this? A pacifier is a small rubber or plastic nipple babies suck on to feel comfort.
What's happening? Some pacifiers sold in Latvia and Ireland do not have the right air holes. This can make it hard for a baby to breathe.
Does this affect me? If you have a baby who uses a pacifier, check if it has air holes. Babies under one year are most at risk.
What should I do? Stop using the pacifier right away. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for a safe one.
