We turned Hannah into a “paci baby.” When she was born, she really wasn’t into it at all. It wasn’t until she was getting her blood drawn twice a day or more that we started pushing it to help her during those procedures. It really came in handy once we started doing more invasive procedures such as venous blood draws, skin biopsy, ultrasounds, doppler studies, skeletal studies, etc. She would suck so hard on it during those times, you can how much in pain she was.
Since then, we seem to go through so many pacifiers. Now that she has outgrown the 0-6 month old ones, we started a new collection. However, even with the really cool pacifier holder, we seem to lose them all the time! Even though we tried another two brands, she only likes MAM pacifiers, and she only likes the ones with no texture on the sucking part. We made the mistake of purchase a new MAM set that had ridges on the sucking part, and she will NOT suck on it. She pushes it out every single time.
They show up in the strangest of places. Just now I found one underneath my desk in my home office. Just earlier this evening, I found one near the kids play area. We must have purchased at least 6 of the 6+ month old pacifiers, and I can only account for about 3 of them right now.
We need a pacifier locator system in this house. Not joking. Lojack for pacifiers….
oh man I hear you! Aidan would ONLY use one kind and when I went to get more…they were discontinued! So I bought up a ton directly from the company and on ebay…and luckily 4 of them barely lasted us until he finally gave them up. But it was a nightly hunt to make sure he had them all. Now we have the same problem with Makena – only will use those dang ugly Soothies. So we have four and she must have all of them in bed at night so she can easily find one. but when one goes astray…we are searching the entire house! We have about 6 of those MAM ones but she won’t touch them. want them? 🙂
Sadie only used the MAM ones too, which was okay with me because I thought the were cuter. Oh, and just the other week, I put on a coat that I haven’t worn in over 3 years and found a pacifier in the pocket.
