(I am updating my initial review that said we could live without this product...we CANNOT live without!)

PROS:
-Cute
-Easy to find the pacifier with such a big thing attached to it
-Good pattern for the baby to look at
-Will hold it propped in her mouth if she's REALLY REALLY tired
-Easy to grab, so at night she can find it in her crib and pop it back in her mouth!


CONS:
--> Only reason I'm giving this 4 stars: Paci doesn't detach so the animal AND the pacifier have to go into the washer
-Easy for baby to grab and she pulls it out of her mouth ALL THE TIME

I would buy this again and am tempted to buy a second one just in case we lose this one!!

After reading the reviews I was very excited about getting this product for my 3 week old son. He has a cleft lip and palate and has difficulty keeping the suction on a pacifier causing it to fall out easily. I thought this would be great to keep it in his mouth. When I received it I was surprised by how little and lightweight the stuffed animal is. When I tried it out the animal scooted down and the pacifier fell out. The flimsyness of the animal also causes the pacifier to be able to move around freely so when it does stay in place the pacifier itself is most often facing his cheek. I bought this so we would not have to hold the pacifier in place and found that we still do. I do like that it keeps the pacifier from falling on the floor, but was expecting more. We do use it still, but have to hold the giraffe in place. Maybe he is just to active for it, but even when he is almost asleep it falls out and does not allow him to suck on it. This product is very cute and is a good pacifier, but do not get your hopes up on it keeping the pacifier in without assistance.

My son is loving his new friend. He is only 4 months right now but i know he will continue to enjoy it for months to come.

The pacifiers are very similar to the avent soothie. I bought the puppy one. I like this product because in the middle of the night when my baby is crying, I can easily find the pacifier because it's attached to the puppy. It helps a lot from the pacifier dropping out of my baby's mouth. I wish it was detachable from the puppy so I can clean it easier.

we bought one when my son was 2 months bc he couldn't keep his bink (he calls it his "ning ning") in his mouth by himself. this was perfect to keep it in.
now he's 21 months and if he wakes up in the middle of the night, he can find it himself in the dark. he still has that first bink, along with two more. He goes to bed with all of them.
the only reason i am giving it 4 starts is bc the bink does not detach from the animal, so if it has to be replaced i have to buy more, remove the old one, and sew the new one on. It's a pain bc i have to do it about twice a month. i know it's probably time to take the binks away from him, but he loves them so much i can't do it yet.

the Wubbanub works for other more than it works for me.
Sometimes my son would like the wubbanub over the NUK, however I have a squirmy guy and so it never stayed on his chest or off to the side of him where he was able to access the pacci if lost. However, I've talked to mothers who it works great for them. My son liked to hold onto the giraffe plushie when he was using the pacci. I think if NUK made something like this then he would like it more, it could have been more of an issue of pacci style & shape.
Its a nice product but it just depends on your little ones desire to use it.

The Wubbanub is definitely not spit proof but it does help in keeping the pacifier in baby's mouth. It works best at night when she's swaddled and can't move around too much, and I can just rest it on her chest. It's easy to find if she does end up spitting it out.

So, when i saw this product i loved it! but i knew that my 3 month old baby would hate the pacifier part. the only paci she ever takes is the NAM kind because they have bigger bulbs at the end for her to suck on. Also, other pacifiers are shaped too similarly to her milk bottles and she gets mad that milk doesn't come out of them. I also wasn't thrilled that you had to wash the paci with the toy. So being a crafty mom, i knew i could fix this so she would like it. I got it in the mail yesterday and as i predicted she just spit it out. so i took my seam ripper and got the pacifier off easily without hurting the toy. then i took one of the holders for the nam which come apart and there is a hole at the end where the tie for the clip goes through - it was the perfect size for the hole i had made. a few stitches and viola! popped the pacifier in the holder (i also like that it can spin around in the holder) and we were good to go. she had been crying for about 15 mins, i put it in her mouth, showed her how she could grab on to it and she was sleeping within minutes. she has fallen asleep with it 4 times since then. so, like i said - i loved the idea of this product but had to make it "work" for me. just an idea for some of you other crafty moms (or dads) out there ;)

This is such an adorable pacifier and has great features too. One of the best parts about this pacifier is that I do not have to attach it to a string pacifier holder (which could get wrapped around my little one), I would simply just rest it on him and he would push at it if he wanted it. This sweet little animal is light weight yet heavy enough to stay put in a carseat or while he sleeps in his bassinet.

This product is great, I have had it for my child since he was born, I gave it to him about 4-5 days in as a newborn (which I have come to realize is the best time to give a pacifier to a newborn, it is not too early for nipple confusion and not too late that they refuse it). He has been able to "grasp" at it from day one. He was able to push the little animal back in if it started to fall out or push it out if he did not want it. The design makes it easier to stay in their mouths when they are so little and are learning to suck.

It is also easy to wash and it drys quickly. I recommend two so that you can always have one ready to go.

I did see a few other wubbanub pacifiers on sale at Babies'R'us, but when my friend purchased hers I noticed that the quality was not as good, they were much more flimsy and very light weight, making it hard to stay put.

When I was still pregnant I wrote...I love this product, it is so precious and this is the best price I have seen for these. My friends baby has them and loves them so much, she is able to grab it at put it back in her mouth herself. I am still pregnant and hoping that my baby will love them as much as my friends baby did. I love how soft they are and they are a good size, not too large and not too small. I think the giraffe is the sweetest too.

I read about these online by other moms. My son would spit his paci out during the night, so I decided to try this out. My son loves holding on to the animal and the pacifier stays in the mouth without falling out. Great product. We now have a few different animals.
The only negative thing is the pacifier is not interchangale. Once the pacifer is needed to be replaced...so is the animal.
