The First Years Gumdrop Newborn Pacifiers

The. Best. Paci. Hands. Down. But as many as you can because they are never in stock in stores it seems!

When we first brought our baby home, we used the Soothie brand pacifier so my poor chest could get a break. :) I liked those pacifiers because they were all one piece, soft, and easy to sterilize and clean. I tried the MAM pacifier once and the first time I washed it, a whole bunch of soapy water sucked into the nipple part and all I could imagine was my baby sucking on soap water, and milky drool getting caught in there to mold forever. My baby seemed to love the soothies. (Seriously, I love the eyes rolling back, "hits the spot" look she gets when she enjoys a good pacifier.) My husband, the worriest of worts, was concerned that the soothies were pushing her nose back and would give her a piggy nose, so he bought these. They are the same shape as the soothie and all one piece, and she accepted them easily and her little nose gets to, well, breathe. :) And the price is right!

My 2 month old breastfed baby loves these pacifiers. I introduced them to her around 1 month. I like that they are shaped like a human nipple, so they haven't caused any nipple confusion. They seem durable, and they are easy to wash, and when I want to sanitize them I just throw them into a pot of boiling water. They have a little hole on the "handle" so you can easily attach it to a clip (not included) for when you don't want the pacifier falling to the ground.

My first child never took to pacifiers, except this one, even though it was for a short time. My second born though, LOVES having a pacifier to help go to bed. We had one before and it broke so I was in a rush to find a new one since any other binky simply wouldn't do. I found these and didn't expect them to show up for about a month. Luckily, they got here about 2 weeks early! I love them too because they're a soft silicone and a real life saver.

I tried almost every pacifier on the market. I wanted my LO to use the Nattursutten pacifier because it's made of all natural rubber and is one piece (no space or hole for bacterial growth) but even though I purchased the butterfly shape, it was so big that it covered my LO's nose. And my LO is quite large for his age so it wasn't because of his size. Other moms complain about the same design flaw, too.My second choice was the Gumdrop pacifier because although it isn't made of the same high quality material as the Nattursutten, it was one piece so again, no holes for bacteria to grow in. But the pacifier was so heavy that my LO couldn't keep it in his mouth and I didn't want my LO to have to use so much force when using a binky. Just logically speaking, I would think the LO's jaws would hurt from holding something so heavy for so long.So then I tried Advent and Dr. Brown which were lighter in weight but also covered the nostrils.I ended up using MAMS pacifiers only because they were super lightweight and didn't obstruct my LO's breathing at all. But they are a pain to clean- the part that the LO sucks on is hollow so soap and spit get stuck in there. After awhile, it turned murky in color despite my obsessive washing.As soon as my LO was older, I again tried the Nattersutten. Still same problem- covered his entire nose. Back to Gumdrop and thank goodness, this time, my LO was able to hold it in his mouth on the first try.I'm still not 100% satisfied with it because I don't understand why it needs to be so heavy and why the nipple is hollow (makes cleaning a pain). Oh and the design makes LO look like Hannibal Lecter. It's a bit disturbing to me. Haha. But for now, my concern about bacteria growth in the MAMS binkies outweighs these issues.Until Nattersutten creates a pacifier with a deeper dip in the nostril area, I recommend the Gumdrop version.

This is the ONLY pacifier my son will take. When he was born I tried a kind that I had customized with his Name that mimic the nuk nipple that's curved up towards the roof of the mouth and he would push them out of his mouth so I then tried these that someone bought for him at my baby shower. He loves them. They're well made and stay in his mouth well. They're definitely worth buying for your little one, especially for breastfed babies.

My infant baby loves these pacifiers, ordered 2 sets of the pink and purple and 1 order of the blue and green, i received the pink and purple ones, but the green and blue was a pastel looking green and pastel pink...not the actual blue and green as pictured an ordered or as the pictures in other reviews.

They are great and they satisfied my cousin baby need because she had a whole lot of pacifiers but would only suck this 1 pacifier that was brought home with her from the hospital . And one day for a period of time she was without it and oh my GOD , that's why I had to find that style and got her some more , because I don't ever want to see that side of her baby or no other baby again . So I got so saved up just in case if I come in contact with anyone else with a baby with that type of a problem .

Me ha encantado este chupete!!! Mi bebé tiene veinte días, se amolda perfectamente a su boca y él se lo puede agarrar ya que no le molesta esa parte para sujetar en el chupetero que llevan todos. Él ha estado usando el de 0-6 meses de Chicco y me empezó a agarrar mal el pecho, con este lleva dos dias y de nuevo me empieza a agarrar bien. Lo único por lo que dude al comprarlo es por l marca que no la conocía, pero desde luego son buenísimos chupetes! Volvería a comprar seguro! Si no os lo coge bien enfocar la tetina al cielo de su boca como si fuera el pecho estando ahí un ratito lo termina cogiendo con bastante fuerza

Mon fils a reçu cette tétine à la maternité. Il ne souhaite plus que celle ci. Les autres ne lui plaisent pas. Par contre il est marqué dans l intitulé 0-2 ans et sur l emballage des tétines c est 0-3 mois

Auch wenn ich die Teile absolut hässlich finde, mein Baby nimmt keine anderen.Sie sind sehr weich und drücken daher nicht so unangenehm wie andere Nuckis, wenn das Kind im Tragetuch liegt.Und da alles ein Teil ist, lassen sie sich super reinigen.Durch die Biegung vorne, passt der Nucki auch gut. Wir hatten andere probiert und da war das Vorderteil so riesig, gerade und schwer, dass es immer beim Nuckel an die Nase gestoßen ist und bei der kleinsten Unterbrechung sofort rausgefallen ist.Das ist hier überhaupt nicht.Wir hatten so einen im Krankenhaus zur Geburt bekommen. Wird also schon nicht schlecht fürs Kind sein.

Love these styles of dummies for my bubbaGot them very fast in the mail thank you

My baby wouldn't take a dummy at all - despite trying the majority on the market (Avent, MAM, Nuk, and Tommee Tippee). I wanted to use a dummy as my child was sucking their hands to the point of giving themselves blisters.This was the only one that he would accept. I believe that the reason for this is that the teat is shaped in a way which is very similar to the teats on a Dr Brown's feeding bottle. After persevering with this dummy, my child will now accept most other brands of dummy - I have no way of explaining this other than thinking that the Gumdrop dummies acted as a "training" dummy.A negative is that they look very unattractive in your child's mouth. They are quite large, especially for a new born and what is even weirder is that you can see inside their mouth as they are sucking. Of course, none of this matters if the dummy is providing your child with comfort and relief.
