Explanation:
1. Newborns have very acute hearing immediately after birth.
2. The newborn is nearsighted and has best vision at a distance of 8 to 15 inches.
3. For bottle-fed infants, there is no reason to discourage nonnutritive sucking with a pacifier.
4. Pacifiers should be offered to breastfed infants only after breastfeeding is well established or during prolonged times away from the mother, or when stressful or painful procedures are required.
