+1 the judgements against pacifiers is real with my family. It kept me from giving W one consistently and now he won't take one! So screw all the judgemental people.

I hate baby talk and baby terms like potty and binky. HATE. bonus points for us: preemies find high pitched noises annoying as shit, so that's an excuse for people to not do it. I don't think she cares now that she's bigger...but I won't tell.
True story: my little cousin (she was 3 or 4 at the time) was playing with some family in the backyard. She started getting jittery and crossing her legs so I asked if she needed to go to the bathroom. She said no. I asked about 4 more times because she was acting so weird. She kept saying no. I find her about 30 seconds later, squatting in the yard to pee. She didn't know what the bathroom was because they only called it the potty.
Agree with all of that except calling it a paci. For some reason that word irritates the hell out of me.
And it's the word my husband uses. Gahhhhh
It used to annoy me too lol His wubanub came last week and now I've been calling it his puppy... Which annoys me but I still say it for some reason haha
OHMYGOODNESS! DD used to call all pacifiers "doggies"' because of her puppy wubanub, even after the thing fell apart. It was *so* confusing to people.
misstunes, didn't your LO just get the shots. J was extra sleepy yesterday from the shots. He was up an extra hour after feeding MOTN. I had to eventually put him in his swing and he fell asleep in it before I re swaddled and moved him to his RNP.
Yes she did, her poor little legs got so swollen and red yesterday. It was traumatic for both of us. After her 4 hour nap today she resumed her usual up for an hour sleep for an hour so hopefully tonight is uneventful!!
Had my practice day today. I had two hours to workout and go to Starbucks. It was great. It's going to be a lot worse when I actually have to go to work after I drop him off.
I'm definitely not looking forward to work, or the grind of pumping and cleaning bottles and hustling to make pick up and all that.
I've never spent a significant amount of time examining my vagina. Other than by feel, I'm not sure that I'd know if it looks different.
Yes! After DD1 I was having this uncomfortable pressure and Dr. Google told me I may have uterine prolapse. I got out a mirror to check and decided that was definitely it, and made an urgent appt with my OB that day. Everything was normal and when I told her what part I was worried about she said, "Um, that's your vagina." I guess I should've become more familiar with it before having kids?
I hate the word paci, but I hate binky even more. So I just go with the lesser of two evils. And I don't like potty either, but, with four kids, DH even says he needs to go potty instead of saying he needs to use the bathroom. I have found myself saying it, too, and I cringe every freaking time.

I've never been a baby person and.....I'm still not.
I can't wait until Liam grows out of the baby stage. I know they say to savor this time because it goes by so fast...but, I'm ok with that. I love my little bug, but I still don't like babies.

We use potty with DS1 but have also used bathroom too. I'm pretty sure daycare used potty so we just followed along.

We don't call it a paci, binky or a pacifier. We call it a pluggo. Apparently my sister called it this when she was little so my dad always called it that with DS1 and it stuck.

I'm actually hoping DS2 sucks his thumb. Why? Because I remember how long it took for DS1 to find that damn pacifier (pluggo) on his own. Ok so I don't remember specifically but it was well over a year. I lost count of how many times I had to go to the crib to search for the pluggo or give him a new one. Mmmm maybe I should rethink this... Think of how many extra Fitbit steps I'll get going into his room to replace pluggo. Mmmmmm;)

You can take a paci away, you can't a thumb. My best friend sucked her thumb until she was in 4th grade

THIS. My Aunt told me the same thing when I timidly admitted we use a paci.
I call it paci. My Mom calls is sisser(sp?). People here tend to call is binky which I think is way worse than paci.
When people who don't have kids say shit about me giving a paci to N, I want to immediately say "go fuck yourself, you'll see".

Paci is at least a better word than what they're called in England. Dummy. Or Dummies. And MH offers them to the twins saying "would you like your dum-dum?". I know he picked this up off his mum, but I internally cringe when I hear it.
Eta: and I just can't take "binky" seriously at all.

They have a liquid that can be placed on the fingers of choice for sucking that tastes awful. It is, of course, ok to ingest. My brother was a thumb sucker and this is what was used to get him to stop and it worked. I doubt this is what my parents used but it was something like this

My friend had the nail polish that tasted bad because she bit her nails. I wonder if you could put it on the pacifier too? I'm concerned about taking Ns away later.. However, now if he's crying for no reason and he'll take it, I'm giving it haha..

my mom used that on me as a kid to make me stop biting my nails. I'd cry every time I put my hands in my mouth but I'd still bite my nails. I was stubborn. E is already a furious thumb sucker. It's cute now at least.
I was a die hard thumb sucker until 1st grade. My parents even tried hot sauce....I really like hit sauce. What made me stop was a dentist saying I would need oral surgery then described it in detail to fix my overbite and braces. Never needed them, but I stopped that day.

Stick a cork in that baby!
we've always called it a plug. My parents called it that, and it stuck.

My oldest sucked his fingers from birth until three. We used the liquid stuff to break him. It worked with one application but the damage has likely already been done to his bite. Braces are probably in his future.
It's hard to say if it was the thumb sucking though. My brother sucked his thumb until he was 5 and he has perfect teeth.

Multiple pacifiers in the crib - better chance of them finding one on their own. I would throw at least 3 in once we got to that stage haha
