3.0 out of 5 stars A bit of trouble, but worth it to me., January 18, 2010

My lactation consultant recommends this pacifier because, as she says, "It's round. Your nipple is round, and I want your nipple to stay that way."

I'm having a LOT of nipple issues in my breastfeeding, so when my daughter started wanting to suck for soothing, I decided to go with my lactation consultant's recommendation and use the soothie.

I had some of the same falling-out issues that other parents are reporting, but I got around them with a few days of practicing the following:

1) Tickle her nose to get her to open up wide for a latch
2) Hold the pacifier in place until she really latches on well
3) Once she's got a good grip, tug gently and steadily on the pacifier to get her to suck harder and fight your pull. It's pacifier tug-of-war and it trains her to keep it in her mouth through suction alone.

When she falls asleep, it still falls out, but by then she doesn't care.

I agree with some of the negative reviews:

This pacifier is ugly. It makes her look like a fish! (I think it's funny, but it definitely isn't my daughter at her prettiest.)

It really does roll into far-off places when it falls on the floor.

It takes a bit of investment. It's not the easiest pacifier out there.


On the other hand, if it helps her to keep her tongue down and treat my poor, cracked, sore nipples gently, then I'm all for it. I wouldn't risk a flatter pacifier with my breastfeeding problems.

1.0 out of 5 stars Be Careful with soothie, June 6, 2009

By

I just wanted to write a warning for the soothie pacifier.. My daughter loves this pacifier .. she doesn't often use a pacfier usually only at night after her bottle to put her to sleep.. Tonite She was on the couch next to me after her night time bottle sucking on the pacifier.. I looked over and saw her mouth open slightly and noticed her pacifier was gone.. she had fit the entire pacifier in her mouth (I'm assuming by bending it) Thank the Lord I saw her when I did.. she had just started panicking.. these are great pacifiers but just beware that they can fit in a babies mouth.. still not sure how she did it but just know that it can happen...

5.0 out of 5 stars Best pacifier for breastfeed baby, March 8, 2010

This review is from: The First Years Newborn Pacifiers - 2 Pack (Health and Beauty)

My daughter would only use this pacifier. This is the only pacifier that has a "natural" shaped nipple. Other pacifier's nipple are short and wide. Babies who are breastfeed are typically not going to like pacifiers that do not feel like the mother's breast. The soothie is the only pacifier with a long skinny nipple. Also I purchased a wubbanub and it has helped her put the paci back into her mouth and cuddle with the stuffed animal attached to the soothie!

As for the other reviewer who's baby stuck the entire pacifier in her mouth. This pacifier is HUGE and the top of the pacifier constantly hits her nose. I don't know how big of a mouth the previous reviewer's baby has but there is NO possible way my baby at 5 months could get this pacifier into her mouth. I think their experience was rare and not the norm!
