How often should you throw away and replace your LO's pacifier? I wash them often, but I'm thinking I should replace them soon, but I don't know the "rule" and time frame in which you should do this.

bump!
-
The website for the pacifiers we use (Hevea) says they should be discarded after 2 months' use. Oops, we need to buy new ones!
-
@Beehive: oh gosh, if that is true for all pacifiers then I need to get on that! Yikes.
-
@Bao: DD is 4 months and I haven't replaced any! She used to use them a few times a day.. has about 8, and now only uses 1 about every other day.. so, I think I'm okay??
What do yours look like? My Mam ones still look brand new.
-
@LaineysMom: she has the Avent ones and they look fine to me...
-
I haven't replaced any!

DS is 6 months old and we have about 5 binks going at any time. I think I've done a total overhaul 3-4x. He has such a strong suck that you can actually see when they're starting to get worn! We use the avent soothies, and he's still using the 0-3 month one (won't take the 3+ or 6+ ones!).
-
@buffalove: we have soothies too - some of hers are 0-3, and i think 2 are 3+...I can't figure out the difference! Are they different sized nipples? I've stared and stared and just can't get it, lol.
-
It took me forever too! The 3+ and 6+ are thicker, I'm assuming for when they start teething (??). When DS turned 3 months I tried to switch and he was not having it! I tried again recently but still no go, so I figure I'll just have to replace them more often. On the soothies, I can actually see them breaking down where the little nub sticks out....it kind of makes an upside down "U" if that makes any sense!
-
We haven't replaced our NUK ever, but I feel like we lose them so often that they never last more than a month anyways! Between home and daycare we are losing them like crazy!
-
Eek, we haven't replaced any of our pacifiers. He's using the Avent ones up to 6 months. I have the 6+ ones waiting to be used. Now I'm tempted to pick up some new ones to be safe. I micro steam them a couple times a week when they've hit the floor, etc.
-
@Bao: then I think as long as you clean them you're probably fine.. I just inspect hers often.
-
On the packet of my avent pacifiers i t says replace every 4 weeks but I dont. I just sterilize them and inspect them
