The First Years Soothie Pacifier Reviews

That's funny when I see the other reviews because mine is the same! She will only take this binky and will only take the green one. I tried the blue, pink, NUK, Avent...she will take them only to chew on them backwards--the handles in her mouth. To sleep however, she will only use the green Soothie. One thing I don't like that gives it 4 stars is the hole on the backside (where the nipple "attaches") is the same size as her finger and she frequently sticks her finger in there and gets it stuck-which of course triggers a hearty whine..  

She likes to chew on this binky sideways, backwards, any...

I didn't want to give my baby a pacifier AT ALL. I was paranoid that since I was breastfeeding, that any pacifier was going to ruin things... but we were at the hospital for a test and the baby was fussing a bit and the nurse asked if we had a pacifier and I said no. She reached into the cupboard and pulled out one of these, saying they were highly recommended. We took it from her, thanked her, and threw it in the diaper bag. (We didn't try it right then because, as I mentioned, I did NOT want my baby to use a pacifier.)

And then came a time when he was really fussy. And we had just watched The...

I never thought after using Playtex disposable I would go back to a reusable bottle. I bought the soothies to send to my sister as a gift and decided to get a set for myself to try. I also had my trusted Playtex and a box of drop ins. My baby came and she had far to much trouble with the Playtex I tried her on the Soothie. I am thrilled with the out come. The nipple design is so simple you would not think it to prevent the baby from swallowing air. But it works. She does not spit up and hardly has to burp. My mind has definitely been changed and if you are in the market for a good reusable bottle...

I got this pacifier for free like most people, from the hospital when my fourth child was born.  With my other three kids, I used the Gerber Nuk brands.  My youngest wouldn't take the Gerber Nuk pacifier so I stuck with the Soothie one.  I have read that it is supposed to be better for breastfeeding, but I can't say for sure.  I can say that I have had a easier time nursing with this child than I did with the other three, but it may not have just been the pacifier. 

All in all, if I was going to have a fifth child, I would use this kind over the Gerber Nuk variety.

Pros: 

My baby can put...

I work in the newborn intensive care unit as a nurse, and Soothie Pacifiers are the pacifiers we use in the hospital. I've always thought they were ugly, and never planned on using them with my own babies- until lactation recommended it because of the straight nipple shape which is more like a breast for nursing babies and helps avoid nipple confusion, according to the lactation consultant at the hospital. So I ended up buying these as well as the cute Gerber ones- and guess which ones my baby prefers? Yep, my son won't take the cute Gerber pacifiers, he spits them across the room, but he will...

Soothie was my son's pick of the pacifer. Altho there is one other I can get him to suck on he prefers his soothie. His first soothie was the premie soothie which is purple and you can only get at the hospital. The newborn and sixth month plus you can get at the store. I have found that they are cheeper then other pacifiers. So if you are looking to safe money with a future baby. I would pick this pacifer I will probably use it with the rest of my children. The do have a soothie pacifier clip that you can buy at target or walmart for it. I bought one and it works great and looks cute. The only...

My first child was hooked on this pacifier, so I didn't think twice about getting this brand of pacifier again for my second child. I also got the Soothie brand bottles, which she loves too.

Pros:

Buy these online from the website printed right on the pacifier - or buy them at the store - ie: Babies R Us or Target and skip the shipping.

Website offers the "Wubbanub" which is a Soothie pacifier attached to a small stuffed animal. This makes it easier for baby to find her Soothie on her own. Also gives her something to hold onto while she's sucking.

Comes in different stages, good for newborns, 3+...

I have to say that the Soothie pacifier is the only pacifier I will ever use. To begin with I had chosen a different pacifier for my baby to use, but when we tried it at the hospital the nipple was just too long for her tiny mouth and she gagged on it. Luckily the hospital provided a Soothie pacifier for us, and our daughter took it instantly! We quickly went to the hospital gift shop and bought about ten more of them (in case we lost a few!). These are the only pacifier that my daughter will take, and we even went out and bought two of the Soothie bottles. (We also use some bottle that take liners,but...
