Hey girls. I need some paci/Nuk recs. Both of my DD's seem to have sensitive gag reflexes bc my 2 year old always ALWAYS gagged on hers so I quit trying. In the end it worked out great bc it's one less thing I had to worry about as far as weaning/training goes. My one month old gags sometimes but for the most part she just spits it back out. I think the one from the hospital sticks out too far (the nipple) and I BF. She takes the bottle just fine (which my two year old also always gagged on-and I BF her as well.) she might just be "too used to the breast" but I would like some relief at night when I start to feel like the paci... Ugh!
Any recs? This happen to others? TIA
ETA- I breastFED my two year old, I don't still BF her. (not saying it's a problem for those who do - though I never could.) I was just clarifying.
Paci's are hit/miss with most babies. You just have to try out a few and see which one she prefers. Have you tried the Avents? Try those and the MAM's- they are a little bit shorter. But don't be surprised if she won't take one. Some BF babies just won't do it and need that whole closeness thing more than the sucking.
Re: Paci/Nuk recs
DS doesn't love pacis and we have tried a ton. He will take a Soothie or and Avent, but you have to hold it in for him.
The Binkies are similar to the Soothies in shape but the nipple is shorter.
