Q. Hi! I have been using pacifier/soother to help my 5 months old baby girl sleep since 3rd month. She has habit of keeping that in mouth and if it falls then we give her back. Today I noticed she was gagging in sleep and I took out pacifier. I could see a strand of her hair on the pacifier. She is losing lot of her hair and I think in the night when pacifier falls the hair gets onto it. Now I am worried of she might of swallowed lot of hair till now. What to do?
