dogmama22 Is it by chance a NUK? If so, I had problems too, but it's actually water getting inside the nipple. It comes in from the other side, by the handle, so the water won't get babies mouth. I just squeeze the nipple and shake to get the water out. Hope this help, but if it's another brand, I got nothin lol

It is the NUK. That's good to know! I'll give that a try.

So O decided she didn't like the NUK anymore, so we started using a soothie. DH and I get a kick out of looking in the hole while she's sucking. It's hilarious. (I'm sorry, we sometimes act like we are kids ourselves lol)

J gives me the stink eye any time I've attempted to give him a pacifier or finger to suck on. He looks at me with an expression that seems to say, "This is some bullshit, mom". My friend whose 2 year old was addicted to pacifier declared that I have a "magic baby". I intentionally did not get more than 2 total pacifiers in case he hated them and while I'm glad that I might avoid having the trouble of weaning him off (I've watched others go through it and it was ugly), the totally adorable Wubanub owl pacifier I received is getting no love. At least it will make a good toy later.

Pro-paci

Started after his circumcision. Tried to avoid it the first week back home but he loved to suck.

I love them. We use soothies and mams. J loves to comfort suck. It helps keep him happy during car rides and gives my poor nipples a break. We are EBF and the paci hadn't affected his latch.

I made a lame attempt the other day but LO wouldn't take it. I mainly want it for long car rides in case he cries so that it's not traumatic for either one of us. I might try it with him when he's in a good mood instead of when he's crying.

She was given one at the hospital the day she was born. She likes them but she's not very good at keeping them in her mouth yet...not sure if it's the brand (mam) or not. It helps because she has reflux so she cries most if the day. It's a nice reprieve for her and for us. She doesn't typically take one at night. If she does it lasts all of 30 seconds then she let's it fall out and goes to sleep.

veggiemo I'm not going to lie... I let DD have her pacifier until about 2 months before DS came. I wanted to her to stop using them because I didn't want her taking his if he needed them. She was almost 3. And her afternoon naps came to a complete stop when the binky went. She relied on them heavily for nap and bed time. Bed time was a bit hellish as well for a few days but she's sleeping pretty good now and it doesn't take her long to fall asleep (it used to take her forever, even with the binky).

I've tried to get DS to take one but he could care less. And he's not sucking on his fingers yet so he may not (fingers crossed) need one.
