    • My dd loves the Playtex ones where the nipple is made of silicone. They have the ages on them too such as 6 month+ and if you can find them get the Ortho Pro Playtex ones. These ones are made to not ruin their teeth.

    • I really had to work to get my dcs to take pacifiers. I found that it really is barely worth it at all because soon thereafter you have to wean them off them.

    • sorry no real help, but for my DD she only likes a very specific swiss brand. it is totally and completely ridiculous. Just try one of every one you can get your hands on and try to make them soft first (boil as directed, and then squish them with your fingers, etc.)

          • op: on one hand i'm happy to not have to wean her, but our bed time "ritual" is her falling asleep on the breast and lying there for about 20 mins before i can put her in her bed. i wonder if i can get her to take a pacifier if it would help someone else put her to bed.

                • You are not alone (I've moved to standing by crib rubbing his back). A month ago I posted on UB frustrated for one night off. Then I figured if DH is putting DB to bed then I have to walk the dog. Nah, much rather UB and nurse

                  • Btw, I just left and DS cried for 30 to 45 seconds and fell asleep. So rest assured it won't always be a long event!
