When we tried to give her one to calm her down early on, it made her even more pissed off. We tried a few brands and I gave up when she turned 6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402819 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 09:42:28 +0000 mamimami 1402819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of my kids would take them. I tried so many kinds. I have a pacifier graveyard in my home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402817 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 09:41:52 +0000 loveisstrange 1402817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! It just made her more angry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402796 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 09:36:55 +0000 mrs. wagon 1402796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first loved the paci and ditched it once he found his fingers. Best self-soothing ever. My second would NOT have it. Self-soothed by scratching her face and ears bloody. So sad. Finally she took to her lovey blankie and now she sucks on that... so gross. I now wish it was a paci! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402774 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 09:28:47 +0000 Ra 1402774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B never took a pacifier. Kid sucks on his own tongue for comfort. I have no idea how he does it, it is so bizarre looking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402712 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 09:01:26 +0000 Smurfette 1402712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only pacifier R liked was my boob. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402709 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 09:00:13 +0000 regberadaisy 1402709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO never took to pacifier which I'm happy about because I only offered it a few times in desperation. </p> <p>She has no issues taking a bottle though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402532 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 00:57:43 +0000 lemondrop 1402532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was never a fan of the paci, but would take the bottle without any issues. In the end I'm really happy he never got into the paci's so I never had to break the habit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402530 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 00:53:47 +0000 birdofafeather 1402530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD never took to a paci. She found her fingers at 4.5 months though and I love those dang fingers!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402393 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:37:53 +0000 yin 1402393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both kids didn't like it. DS2 did accept it for a few weeks before he refused it. Now at 13 weeks he soothes with his fingers and sleeps in a sleep sack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402388 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:35:59 +0000 delight 1402388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never tried with LO!shes 6m now and I wonder what her reaction would be if I gave it to her. She'd likely just try to eat it, like everything else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402384 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:32:33 +0000 Zbug 1402384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO just started taking the pacifier at 13-14 weeks. She's still iffy with the bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402307 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 21:45:54 +0000 dolphin 1402307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD took it once in awhile up to 8 weeks and then completely stopped </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402299 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 21:41:17 +0000 MoonMoon 1402299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine wanted to, but it took MONTHS for him to be able to actually keep one in his mouth. We kept trying because it did seem to soothe him, but before I had just assumed every baby automatically took to them-I was wrong! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402290 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 21:37:44 +0000 DigAPony 1402290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone for the responses! Glad to see this is so common. Now to work on getting him to take a bottle... :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402286 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 21:35:34 +0000 Purpledaisy 1402286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>11 months and has never taken to a pacifier.

He switches fine between bottles and boob though, he gets mad at pacis bc nothing comes out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402147 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:50:37 +0000 Raindrop 1402147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine didn't take the pacifier either (used it for a few minutes and spit it out) ... but also had no problem with the bottles! :) So it wasn't related for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402108 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:38:31 +0000 Grace 1402108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine used to give me this look of "what the hell is that"? every time I tried. It was annoying at the time, but it forced me to come up with other soothing methods, so it's awesome now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402090 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:34:10 +0000 Dandelion 1402090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS didn't take one either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402087 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:33:40 +0000 lovehoneybee 1402087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine did, but not until he was 6 months old, when we transitioned him into his crib. He's 18 months now, and would suck on one all day long now if we'd let him (we only let him have it when he's sleeping). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402083 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:33:16 +0000 cyndistar3 1402083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of my lo's took a pacifier, they acted like it gagged them too. Especially Lillian, if you tried to put it in her mouth at all she would automatically start gagging lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402075 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:31:05 +0000 Greentea 1402075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO would never take a pacifier. She would get upset when there was no milk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402074 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:30:59 +0000 swedishfish 1402074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R never really took a pacifier and hasn't had any problems with bottles. She went back and forth quite easily with breast feeding and bottles for four months as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402068 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:29:56 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1402068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my lo never took one. gave me a funny look every time i tried and spit it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402063 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:29:18 +0000 chopsuey 1402063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of my kids took a paci. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402035 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:19:50 +0000 lawbee11 1402035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M never took a paci. I have a ton of unopened ones that I'll probably try to sell on the Classifieds. She took a bottle from 6-12 weeks then went on a bottle strike until I went back to work when she was 5.5 months...talk about stressful! </p> <p>The not taking a paci thing was a pain in the beginning but now I am glad she never took one. I don't have to go in and put it back when it falls out of her mouth and we don't have to worry about weaning her from it. So it worked out in our favor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-baby-just-never-take-to-a-pacifier#post-1402016 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 20:13:26 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1402016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my kids hated the paci and would spit it out whenever I tried! </p>
