WubbaNub Infant Pacifier - Baby Penguin

Adorable Wubbanub! All 3 of my babies loved their Wubbs and I especially loved the adorable assortment of animals to choose from! My babies all loved this type of pacifier, took to them quickly, and gave them lots of comfort. I learned early on that they don't last long having to wash them as the pacifier starts to detach from the lovie. I put them in a lingerie bag to help with that but I feel like they still took a beating! Worth it though because my babies loved having multiples in their cribs and would reach around to find one! Having the lovie attached made it easy to find in the dark and my babies loved playing with them too. I still have them even though the pacifiers have broken off!

Super easy to clean and easy to find! I just toss him into the washing machine and dryer with the baby's other cloths and would smell great again and be clean! I say easy to find as well, because since it attached to an animal, you can find it easily in the diaper bag compared to just a regular one. As a newborn, my daughter wouldn't use any pacifiers; after purchasing this, she would hold it. As teething began she at first chewed on the flat edges; and slowly, she now uses it to help her stay calm during long car rides and naps (18 months). It was very comforting and soothing for her. She never used any other pacifiers before using this one. She chose this over all the others, and eventually it is became more of a comforting item vs something to suck/chew. Must have for newborns as it does DOUBLE duty as a pacifier and lovey and is easy to find, clean and use! Oh, and it is also durable. A couple people have told us that we'd have to replace her pacifiers often once she got teeth... and it is still in perfect condition even after 4 months of continuous use!

My 3.5 month old daughter has a giraffe Wubbanub too. She loves to hold (and lately suck on) the stuffed animals as well as the Soothie part. She used to babble to them, but I haven't heard her do that in the last few weeks. A really nice thing about the pacifier's attachment is that it is stiff, so she can maneuver the pacifier into her mouth by herself using the stuffie at least some of the time (at night, sorry, doesn't work that way). Last weekend, I attached the Wubbanub that lives in her car seat to a tether to attach to her umbrella stroller (that one's the giraffe, but the penguin and giraffe are equally tetherable), making it delightfully difficult to lose.The main problem, as many people have pointed out, is the fact that you can't switch out the pacifier, for cleaning or for a different size, or anything else. But if you want to get another brand that does switch out...most of them do not have a stiff pacifier attachment, rendering baby getting pacifier into her mouth by herself more problematic. For this reason when I bought her a third pacifier stuffie, I got a different brand that still attaches pretty stiff but can switch out pacifiers.

Oh my! I thought this thing wasn’t worth a damn, I was so wrong. This little pacifer is the best hands down item ever! My daughter has trouble keeping a pacifier in her mouth because it’s not a breast or a bottle (no milk, no interest). She likes the pacifier but needs help keeping it in her mouth (less than 7wks old). Well that becomes difficult when she needs to sleep at 2am but I need to hold her pacifier because she spits it out or wiggles in frustration and my swaddling gets destroyed and that no longer holds it in place either. The stuffed animal very cleverly is able to be positioned easily and had more weight (mind you still extremely light), just enough to keep the pacifier in her mouth easier and not suffocate.I’m finally getting sleep and baby is happy. I now have 4 different stuffed animal “WubbaNubs” all extremely easy to clean- use a mesh bag and place them in laundry. I use normal wash and even tumble dry.This is a staple you don’t leave home without, and will be a baby shower gift that keeps on giving.

These things work too well. We had 2 kids that didn't have them and they weaned themselves off of their pacifier at 7 months no problems. We had 2 kids that use these, one we had to have a big ceremonious goodbye to the pacifier, which consisted of cutting the pacifier off of the animal and letting him sleep with just the stuffed animal part. The other is 18 months and can't sleep well without the Wubbanub. Other pacifiers will get him to sleep, but he wakes up after a while if it's not his "duck" which is a penguin, but I'll cut him some slack.Actual product feature points:It does keep the pacifier from rolling away. They can find it at night when they wake up without me having to go in there and pull their bed apart to find it for them and lull them back to sleep. It's also easier to find because it's bigger and doesn't roll. You do have to wash it often because kids are gross. I'd buy 2 in case one gets lost, because heaven help me if you can't find it by bedtime!

This thing was a total game changer for me and my baby! I was on the fence about getting one, but on a whim I bought it, and now I regret waiting so long!My infant couldnt keep her soothie pacifier in on her own. The second I took my hand off of it, it would go flying out of her mouth, and then she would cry. This helped keep it in her mouth. I have no idea why, but this made it so much easier for her to keep it in. Now after 3 month, she is very attached to her wubbanub. She is almost 6 months and plays with her penguin and giraffe all the time. I thought she would pull the pacifier out more because of the animal attached, but for whatever reason, she doesnt. She hold onto the plush part, but this has absolutely helped her keep the pacifier in when before she couldn't.Wish I bought it sooner!
