Isaac's Pacifier Adventure

Our other kids have taken pacifiers without a problem. In fact, William was quite crabby without one for a long time. Leonora wasn't crabby without one, but did use them in the car and to fall asleep. Isaac just doesn't seem to see any appeal in them.


First, we tried these "Soothies."
He gagged on them.
Next it was a Playtex "Binky."


These didn't make him gag, but he wouldn't suck on it either.


I thought we'd give it one more shot. Third time is the charm, right? So I bought some "Nuk" pacifiers.

Those stayed in his mouth for a whole 5 seconds!

Isaac has decided he has a great pacifier already in his mouth:



ps yes that's me chuckling in the background and the kids watching Wall-E.

it's a blessing when they don't take a thumb or binkie- though sometimes binkies help! William never took one- he is so cute kara! you aren't the only one getting teary eyed over my write up!

Elora only took it after she'd eaten for a few minutes ( you probably remember). Josh never took one at all. A blessing, really.

Yeah, after having to run to the store for binkies when William's got lost, I do consider it a blessing most of the time. Sometimes Isaac will suck on my hand when I'm holding him and I get so slobbery. I think that was my reason for trying as many as I did. :)

Nicholas was my only baby who even gave the binky the time of day. The others, I was glad they didn't I think if they don't want it and don't think they need it, it's just one less thing to have to ween them from. That tongue pacifier that Isaac has is adorable. I wonder how long he will do that?
