Pacimal/Wubanub? Worth it?

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
Hi my name is Maureen and my LO will be 3 months this coming weekend so I am posting a bit early. :) Lately over the past week at night and during naps, if her paci falls out, she freaks and cries.  She puts her fingers in her mouth and sucks on them but most of the time she puts too many in and gags.  So I heard of these pacimals or wubanubs.  Does anyone have them still at this age?  Are they good?  Would you recommend? especially for the issue that I am having?  Thanks a bunch!

    i would think its worth a try, my lo wont take a paci unless you or he himself holds it in,lol but he crys if you take it and its not that hes hungry lol, sometimes hell just suck on fingers so im wondering about getting a pacimal as well! my lo just turned 3 months, but im looking forward to seeing some of the replies thanks for asking i never thought about asking, but i would deffinatly go with a pacimal at least you have the option of useing other paci's not just the soothie ones

    We were given one and honestly I think it is more hassel than what it's worth. The object is still bulky so DD actually would pull it out more because she was fiddling with the toy, and then if I went to carry her downstairs and she would want to look up it pulled out because the duck it wedged between her and me.

    DD prefers the soothie just as it is and was able to figure out how to pick it up and get it back near her mouth by 4ish months. We are still popping it back in here and there at night (she is now almost 6m) so I would say if you are going to spend money on something, get the soothie clip and pass on the weird toy attached to them.

    We bought one and DD never really used it...by the time she could actually keep the darn thing in her mouth she stopped liking the soothie pacifiers. We bought the Playtex Binky's and she liked them alot better, they are more lightweight so she was able to keep them in her mouth better. The Wubanub was a waste for us...

    we love ours because now I can always find a paci. I never have to root around in my diaper back or search the house.

    My LO had a wubbanub monkey pacifier since he was 1 week old and it was a total life saver since it didn't fall out of his mouth quite as often and he could also hold on to it. We could never leave the house without it.

    Once he turned 2 months he just spat it out and never took paci again, but my friend's baby is 5 month old and he had his wubbanub since he was 2 months and he is still very much attached to it, now he chews on it when teething.

     So I'd say with confidence that wubba nub is worth the $11 it costs

    Mopsie has a Pacimal now, and had a Wubanub in the beginning for her DD.

    She likes the Pacimal more (and so doesn't her LO) since it's less bulky, and you can buy an adapter to use different pacis on it/the paci can be removed (unlike the Wubbanub).

    I plan on getting my LO a Pacimal as soon as I can.

    My DD has 3 wubbanubs and she loves then, it was definitely a life saver for us cause it doesn't falls as much as the soothie by itself. She grabs her giraffe and can almost put it on her mouth by herseld (she alwas misses the mouth but she does the right movement) she hugs her giraffe to sleep too.. totally worth it

    Yup. DD loves her Pacimal and the stuffed animal that's attached is now her lovey - she sometimes just cuddles with it and doesn't care about sucking on the pacifier.  We're gonna invest another $20 in a backup just in case!
