Is there a Best pacifier for breastfed babies?
DS is going to be 8 weeks tomorrow and is EBF..we didn't introduce the paci till he was 6 weeks-he's not that into it...The brand we have a few of are the avent pacis.
He usually spits them out and maybe uses it once or twice a day..I guess I should be happy about that-but I go back to work in 4 weeks and I'd feel better knowing he could soothe himself more with a paci and less with my boob.
I just gave him a mam paci and he seems to have taken to it a bit more than the avents.
What other ones should I try that won't distract him from breastfeeding?
TIA!

My two breastfeeders used me as a pacifer
I tried all different kids and they just wouldn't take to them at all.

Re: Is there a Best pacifier for breastfed babies?
Ds was ebf and was a Soothie baby. He would not take anything else. Dd is a thumb sucker and comfort nurser. I could never get her to take a paci of any kind.

He loved soothies. Then we switched to nuk with no problems.

Nuk. I buy them at Walmart for best price, but Target, and most Supermarkets have them.
They are orthodontic and I feel they are shaped more similarly to the actual female Nipple.
DS was ok with the Soothies, but LOVES the NUK and never got Nipple confusion.
Each baby is different. I suggest trying a different kind but not buying a ton of them.
Good Luck!

Re: Is there a Best pacifier for breastfed babies?
both my kiddies used NUK and went from breast to bottle to paci and back with no problems!!
They both had a problem with it in the beginning...gravity worked against them unlike boob and bottle...but eventually with practice they got the hang of it...I would often hold it there in the beginning to "stay" haha

What worked for us was MAMs at that age (in the 6 months, not the 0-3 month binkie). When DS started finally taking it, it made other people putting him down to sleep soooooooooooooo much easier!

My DD used me as a paci but my DS would only use these when not nursing and he still does. Only paci he ever loved.

We've always used the Silicone NUK's. My boys loved them, Taylor doesn't seem to be into binkys hardly at all?

Re: Is there a Best pacifier for breastfed babies?
If you do end up going with a soothie, get a Wubbanub. It's a doll attached to a soothie and they're amazing! DD can even put the pacifier back in her mouth herself a lot of the time!

My kids only took the soothies (but were not breastfed).
My son also sometimes uses soothies. He has wised up and know he wont get any milk so he spits it out. I breastfeed.
Why are you pushing a pacifier?
