My 8-month old baby uses my dildo for a binky, but I always thought that binky's were bad for baby's teeth

Hi Y'all, I'm havin some parenting troubles i hope someone can help me with. A few months ago I left my vibrater out on the floor of my bedroom (My boyfriend Lewis forgot to put it away). Anyway, I usually let my 8-month old baby, Brenda, crawl around the house and that day she found the vibrater and started using it as a binky. The problem is that whenever I take it away she fusses till the sun goes down! I guess I've just kind of relented to letting her have it. It works great though when we're trying to put her to sleep because the when we turn it on, the soft vibrating puts her right to sleep. Lewis even suggested that the vibrater might even feel good and be soothing to her when she starts teething? But at the same time, I think I read in a baby book that binkys are bad for babies because it makes their teeth go all crooked. Are there any other mothers out there that have had good or bad experiences with letting their child have a binky?

OH MY GOD...you are going to have a dental bill out of this world! I mean, the overbite will be horrible! Switch the kid to a "silver bullet"...at least it will only knock her teeth out and her permanent teeth won't be protruding! God Bless....:)

Were you on Jerry Springer last week? By the way, what's the no. for child services where you live? Better yet, why don't you call them and ask them what they think of your question here.

that's pretty disgusting,there are plenty of toys out there that vibrates for children to play with.if you are letting your child put a used vibrater in his/her mouth you need some professional help!

OK, dildo thing not such a great idea. If nothing else, that's a really f***ing expensive pacifier.Pacifiers, however, are fine for babies' teeth. I had one until I was like five and my teeth are perfect. Actually, it's better to give your child a pacifier, which you can take away when they get older, as they're less likely to start sucking their thumb, which is a much harder habbit to break.

Pacifiers are fine for kids to suck on because they are shaped so it hits the roof of their mouths, it's worse for a child to suck their thumb then use a pacifier. For one thing the paci you can throw away, the thumb you can't. If she's teething there are teething toys for that.
