pacimals?

Does anyone use these (either Pacimals brand or Wubbanub)? They seem to be popular on the 0-3 board, and I can see how they'd be useful to help keep the paci in their mouths, but I would have thought that having a stuffed animal attached to something that babies often fall asleep with would be a suffocation risk no-no?

    Obviously, I haven't used it yet, but I do have a Wubbanub that was given to me for a shower gift.  I hadn't really thought about it much yet, but I can say that it is completely adorable (it's a little kitty), and it's soooooo soft!  I suppose you could always switch it out with a regular paci after they fall asleep?

    Is this thing supposed to keep the paci in? Not sure I quite get it. They did use something to this effect when Matty was in the NICU. They just used a beanie baby and snugged it up against the binky to keep it from coming out. Same thing as this right? But you do have a valid point Lisa. I would think these are only supposed to be for tiny ones who don't move too much yet because of the suffocation risk.

    I always wondered the same thing. 

    Jack would like it now - only so he could chew on the entire thing :)

    I think so - later on the child can use it as a regular stuffed toy, but I think it's just to help the paci stay in when they're younger babies. I'm curious about them because Dash has a real "the-paci-fell-out-of-my-mouth-and-now-I'm-going-to-scream" problem lol, but I'm really kinda concerned about the whole potential suffocation aspect...

    I think it's for use during the day when you are watching them and not at night..... I never used this. My friend had one and used it occasionally but only because she got it as a gift. I never bought one because we didn't/don't use that kind of paci. We use Avent.
