Pacifier Help

DD is not a huge fan of the pacifier. She just wants the breast, and when I won't give her that, she goes for her hand. Or just cries. It's frustrating because DS took the pacifier every time, immediately. I don't want DD to use it her hand or fingers because it cannot be taken away and that is a hard habit to break.
Anyway, does anyone have suggestions for a good pacifier? We've tried the Nuk, The First Years Gumdrop, Soothie/Wubbanub, Born Free Bliss, and Evenflo Bebek. She likes the Wubbanub the best, but it's a hit or miss (usually a miss.)
TIA.

Mine will only take the mam also.
That said, the only ways I've gotten LO to take a paci are while in the car while DH drives and while I bounce on the yoga ball.
+1 for MAM, those are where we had the most success with DS1.
That said, neither of my babies really like pacifiers, I have been able to get them to take them occasionally but usually have to hold it there for them - the only reason I use it instead of the boob is because I have an oversupply of milk and have to be careful not to overfeed DD (she throws up when she eats too much).
Some babies just don't like pacifiers, you know.
That being said, it took a long time to get DS to take one as well. I started out with the MAM and he would gag and spit up almost every time we tried it. We tried Nuk, The First Years Gumdrop, Tommee Tippee and a few others I can't remember.
After about a week hiatus we just randomly tried a Nuk again and that's what he takes now! It's still not something he wants all the time though.
