My baby doesn't hate them but he doesn't like them either. Idk what to do to soothe him. I can't tell if I should be thankful or not cause I know pacis can be really hard to wean off of later on.

i wish i knew what to do to help! š i found a weird type pacifier that works well for my little guy.. but besides that i know sounds, high contrast, snuggles, and sometimes just being laid down with something that smells like you. babies are weird!

I knowwww that's what everyone keeps telling me but I'm jealous of the mommies that have babies that like them because sometimes he's so grumpy and I know he's sleepy and the pacifier halfway works he will suck for a second get quiet spits it out and cries even louder and I'm like whyyyš© and I can't swaddle anymore he's starting to roll now

what type of weird paci is this?! I need to know so I can try it lol he liked the green newborn ones you get from the hospital sort of I had to fight to get that one they don't like giving it to babies anymore at the hospital because of nipple confusion. But my nipples are tired š© lol

My baby doesnāt have a pacifier eitherā¦she loves when I shush or sing to her and rock her gently and walk around. That usually gets her to sleep or at least calm down after a few minutes :) yeah and breastfeeding obviously š

Iām pretty sure the ones they sell at the hospital they sell at Walmart donāt they or online ?

Not sell at the hospital but give too them***

itās Bop Bop Baby!! I got it at Bealls outlet but I havenāt seen them anywhere else! š

My first HATED the pacifier so I simply just never gave it to herš¤·š½āāļøshe liked teething toys better, even before she had teeth. My second also hates them and he just stuffs his whole hand in his mouthššim still trying to find an alternative. Both my babies were/are ebf so I feel like that plays a part in it. Maybe if you can find a brand bottle your baby will take, they'll also take that brand pacifier!

Literally my finger. He wonāt take a paci but he loves sucking and chewing on my finger

My son hates pacifiers and hasnāt used one in forever.. he sucks on his entire hand to soothe himself.

My daughter likes the extra nipples of her bottles. I stick my finger in the opening and let her suck until she falls asleep and remove it. But even then, it doesnāt always work and she wakes up or just doesnāt want it anymore. š she liked pacifiers her first few weeks and then just stopped.
