      Yes, it absolutely was a thing and I think in some places may still be a thing (or recommended by older generations)

        They used to suggest dipping the pacifier in whiskey. These days, they’d probably suggest dipping it in a CBD tincture or something.

      It was absolutely a thing, especially for teething.

      My grandmother said that all three of her boys got brandy on the pacifier and it mellowed them out lol

      My family recommends putting whisky on your finger and rubbing it on teething baby’s gums…
