What pacifier does your baby like best? I've heard good things about the Gumdrops and Avent...but some negative about Mam. I've also heard that the Soothies they give at the hospital are too hard.
My ds loved the soothies, for a little over a month they were all he would take. Now he really likes the nuby ones!

Whatever happens will happen and it will all be okay.
We use the Nuk brand ones and they are fantastic. I wouldn't allow the hospital to give my babies the Soothies because I didn't want to risk them actually liking them, we took Nuks with us when they were born and they had those from day one.
We use the avent ones because it came with our bottle starter kit. I recently bought the tommee tippie ones but DS doesn't like it do far- I bought the 0-6 months instead of 0-3 so I don't know if that is the reason. For now, he loves the avent ones.
My LO loves the Gumdrops. She was given it at the hospital but really didn't take to it. We tried the Avent and the Nuk as well as a few others and she didn't take to them at all (what a waste of money). We decided to pull out the Gumdrop and she immediatly took to it. We went a few days later and picked up two more so we have extras incase we lost or dropped one. She still is taking the Gumdrop and she's just over 3 weeks old.
DS takes any pacifier we give him. He just likes to suck on anything you stick in his mouth. But I prefer the Nuk because he's so small and has a smaller mouth that it doesn't seem to take up his whole face. I also like the Tommee Tippee now that he's getting a little bigger
DD actually likes the nuk orthodontic latex. She doesn't use one all the time, but when she does, that's the winner. We got a bunch as gifts, so we've tried every shape there is!
For my little man...I only knew you in my heart.
