We've tried four different pacis, and DD has no interest in any of them. I know they certainly aren't something babies must have, but the paci was a lifesaver with DS on more than one occasion. Her complete rejection of them is making me think shes just not going to ever take one.
How many pacis did you try before you either found one your LO liked or decided to give up?
Re: How many brands of pacis did you try?
Four, the same as you. And she never has liked one. The only one she'll let enter her mouth is a wubba nub (with the animal attached) and we keep it in the car because it will hold her off crying for 10 mins if i hold it in her mouth.
He liked Soothies as a newborn, but after about a month or so - stopped taking pacifiers. I'd guess we tried 4 styles. He also refused all traditional teethers, including Sophie.
When teething, he's always preferred cloth or his fingers. Too bad it took numerous pacies and teethers to confirm that belief.
He started teething at 4 mo.
this for us too. DS never met a paci he didn't like, so I'm surprised this one wants nothing to do with them. It's early yet so we'll see.
I can't check right now because I'm nursing but I want to say at least 6! All the major brands and a few random ones. She hates them all. I only gave up because there literally aren't any I haven't tried- at least that I've seen at target or BRU. The only one she will allow in her mouth is this Playtex- "Most Like Mom" one https://www.playtexbaby.com/mobile/Pacifiers/Binky/Most-Like-Mother-Latex-Pacifier (sorry its not clicky) but even that one she doesn't actually suck. I just hold it there and she plays with it until she calms down- and this only works sometimes. I wish she would take one too, especially for in the car! Good luck!
