Single piece is best: If you decide to use a pacifier get the single piece silicone versions. This way they can't break in half and create a choking hazard. If the material tears replace it. Keep them clean.

Pacifier safety tips: Pacifiers deteriorate over time. Inspect them periodically and replace them if the rubber is discolored or torn. Never tie a pacifier to your child’s crib or around your child’s neck or hand. This could cause serious injury or even death. Prolonged pacifier use might lead to dental and speech problems.
