Yes, but he didn't touch it until he was 6 months old, will only take one specific type, and we only give it to him at night and in the car.

We introduced one when she was under a month, and she took to it quick. We initially tried a soothie, but she couldn't stand it. As soon as we popped in a NUK, she was sold. We mainly use it to calm/soothe, and to get her down to nap, and it works like a charm. When she's up, and active, we don't offer it. I was hesitant at first, as I'm very against older toddlers with pacifiers and was worried about the weaning process, but I figure we'll iron that out when we get there.

Yepp, thank goodness. Now, at one year old, we don't use it except for naps and bedtime.

ODS did, for waaaay too long. LO did for the first 5 months, but we took it away when we sleep trained. She's not a thumb sucker either. We introduced a lovey at that time.

Only sometimes. He isn't really all that into it most of the time but sometimes he will use it for a little while.

Nope, he has his sophie. I did not want my son to take a paci, saw too many preschoolers with them still.

Nope! She loves sucking her big toe though...girl is obsessed with her feet.

Nope-- she used it from 2m-4m? And then started biting it. Doesn't suck her thumb, either, so I guess we lucked out!

Yes. At first he hated them but we reintroduced her to it when she was about 3 months and now loves it

He used one mostly for naps and bedtime until about 7 months, then basically weaned himself from it. We never tried to force it unless it was a last resort to help calm him, so I think that helped him get rid of it fairly young.

My lo wouldn't until she was 5 months. She gets it at night and in the car or if shes extra fussy..... or if I want to cuddle her because it makes her sleepy!

Yes. He would keep it all day if we let him, but we try to limit it to sleeping and the car. I swear he is stashing them away somewhere though because I'll suddenly look over at him on his playmat and he's sucking away...cannot for the life of me figure out where he's hiding them!

DS is a paci fiend, at 17 months we need to kick the habit soon. He was very particular about his paci as well lol and he only gets it for sleep now.
DD seems very 'meh' about it. She'll take it, but doesn't keep it on for long

Lo took one at about 5 weeks til almost 6 months. She was sucking for comfort so the paci came in handy to save my boobs! She weaned herself off it without any issues. My nephew is almost 3 and still has one - he literally will not go to sleep without holding one in his hand and one in his mouth so I wish sil luck for weaning him from it!

Nope! LO didn't suck his thumbs either. He decided that it was much cooler to gnaw on his fingers to soothe when upset. That only lasted a few months since his eczema spread to his fingers and made it too painful.

So far, she doesn't really know what to do with it. We'll keep trying every so often, but I'm not going to push it on her.

Off and on. Originally she would make a face like we were giving her poison, but then my aunt held her for like an hour and held the pacifyer in. So now, she'll sometimes suck on it and push it out at other times. At least we don't get the WTF? face anymore.

For a few months, and we used it when he wasn't taking the boob at night around 11 weeks, and he nightweaned with it!
