We kept trying to introduce a paci, but had no luck. She wanted her thumb and nothing else. I think I finally gave up for good after 4 months.

We introduced one around 5 weeks. He never liked the soothies, but loves the Nuk brand. It is handy for ending nursing sessions that I think he'd like to go on indefinitely otherwise.

Also, I used to have luck getting him to take a paci at night instead of feed when he woke up, but no longer. He does eat like a horse at night, though. I hope it works for Olive.

We introduced ours at about 3-4 weeks after we established nursing and we like the Nuk ones

My LO is an Avent kid. He loves his paci. I'm trying to wean him off it right now, he's almost 13 months. I want it gone by the time his sister arrives.

Nuk fans here. LO doesn't seem to like the Soothies or Gumdrop pacifiers.

We gave her a paci at one month. We only use it when she cries while we are out somewhere and sometimes to get her to sleep at night. She usually spits it out once she falls asleep. We use Avent orthodontic pacifiers.

MAM was the only one my son would take. Everything else, including the soothies were a no-go for him. Since he also takes the MAM bottles really well when not breastfeeding it made sense that he took to the pacis, too.

DS went through soothies, then tommee tippee, then avent, then Mam. He really likes the Mam ones now and they don't trap water inside like the agent ones did, so we'll probably stick with them.

Nuk is all our boy will take, if anything at all. I think he will only Nuks since they are more "boob like" We started offering from about 3 weeks on.

I went into parenting hoping he wouldn't become overly dependent on one- that we would only "plug him in" when we needed a few minutes of sanity, like driving or during a meal. It turns out that he is not a fan, sometimes I can fool him if he is sleepy enough. My husband makes fun of me for this all the time

We used a soothie in the beginning because that's what the hospital gave us... he took to them so well, the nurses gave us a huge bag of like 30 of them! But they were kind of big for his mouth, so we switched to Avent orthodontic and he had those until he dropped his paci and started sucking on his fingers.

We use the one that they use in the NICU (only sold in hospitals). Advent makes a similar one. The lactation consultant told us that those are the most like the breast so we've stuck to those.
