Which type of binky...

Telyco · February 2010

...did your LO like the best and actually stayed in their mouth better than a soothie?

I use it mostly to help her fall asleep and to help her wait until I can tend to her (if I need to do something with Evan right then) But the soothie keeps on popping out - I'm thinking because 99% of the weight of it is outside the mouth.

Any favs? (esp for BFers...any that caused issues with nursing?)

we only used the soothie. We never boughtthe older one. Just the newborn or 0-3. Sorry Icouldn't help you

We use the NUK ones.. I thought the soothies were cute so I wanted to use those.. but on a particularly rough evening when she was like 2 or 3 weeks old.. I was getting desperate so I went upstairs and got one of the NUK pacis I had got for my shower.. And there was sweet silence..I also tried the MAM ones but she didn't seem to love those.. they'll work in a pinch though.

Now she's addicted to them though..

We only use MAM. We have a pretty good stash of them. We got the 1st for free when he was hospitalized for jaundice and he became super attached and would not sleep without it as a newborn. We have never moved up to the bigger size and he is only allowed to have them in his crib.

G would only ever take soothie pacifiers so we went from those to gum drop pacifiers. They come slightly scented like the vanilla of soothie or unscented too.

I still have 3 new in their individual bags- I'd pass them along to anyone since we have no use for them.

Soothies are scented?

Evan was never a big binky user, but when he did he only liked the MAM ones.

The one's we got from Sister's Hospital were scented, I guess it's relaxing. I didn't even realize it until I was pacifier shopping online and realized there were options. Then I put it together that she did smell very lightly sweet like vanilla candy

We are breastfeeding and use these playtex ones. We've never had a problem. Someone told me that they are longer and stay in their mouth better and are good for breastfeed babies. I don't know if it's true, but they've worked for us. My only complaint is that they can be kinda hard to find sometimes. Target is often out of them, I haven't seen them at Walmart or Babies R Us, but have found them at Price Chopper and at Rite Aid.

I have tried them all but NUK is her favorite. I am trying to push the avent one on her though since it doesn't matter if she puts it in up-side down. She loves her NUKs though.

The only ones that ever worked were Soothies. I tried giving her other types because I had the same thought as you, but she would make horrible faces and spit them out.
