Re: what do you call a pacifier?

  • Binky or Binks

    (i had a Binky when i was little. it is just natural for me to call it binky. i hate Nuknuk! ?our pedi nurse called it that. ?blech)?

  • I usually end up calling it a paci, but when I was little mine was a "that."  Probably because everyone said you don't need "that."

  • In my family we call it a Bee.

    eta: My husband's family would call it a soother or a dummy. They're from N. Ireland, though... strange, strange, strange. I got used to dummy but soother is just a mouthful even though it actually makes the most sense, like pacifier.

    We call it a pacifier and have since DS was newborn.  We'll even say "pacifier?" and he'll reach out and grab it or open his mouth.  (That's a bedtime thing - he's only used it for sleeping since he was about 5m old.)

    He could differentiate "pacifier" from "bottle"  even when he was just a few months old - if we said one and he wanted the other, he'd turn his head away.

  • Pacifier or Paci. It drives me nuts when people call them binkies, I don't know why.
  • DD calls hers noo-noo. :)
  • I called it a boof when I was a baby so we call it a boof now
  • paci or pacifier:)
  • Paci or pacifier :)
  • pacifier or soothie.  DS didn't really use it, so we really didn't call it much of anything.  It's funny when he finds one now, he says "beebee" and puts it in his mouth for a couple seconds.  At least he knows they're for babies!

  • For some reason MIL called it a bopper, which drove me nuts, but she passed away when DD was 3 months and bopper stuck. It doesn't drive me nuts any more.

  • We call it a pacifier.  My almost three year old niece gets a little tongue tied and says "baby Madalyn wants her sapifuucker!"

     

    Yes, just like it sounds.

    I knooow.  It's so bad that we laugh about it after she leaves the room, but just hearing her try to say it is hilarious.  My sister is HORRIFIED. she can say pa-ci-fi-er really slow, but she doesn't like slow.  haha!

  • We normally say paci or pacifier.

    My grandma and aunt always call them "nipples." They kept saying at my shower and it just isn't right!  They haven't had any babies around in a long time, so I guess its forgivable.
