Philips Avent SCF190/01 Soothie 0-3mth Green/Green, 2 Count

Same ones the hospital gives out.... not leaving home without them!If you are reading this, you are probably pro-pacifier. We really didn't have an opinion until we went to the hospital class on breastfeeding and they scared us against using them for fear of nipple confusion. Well, my son was born on Monday evening and on Thursday evening after just 24 hours at home, landed in a level 4 NICU. He had an IV on his hand, which he had previously used for comfort. We finally gave in and let him have one when the nurse offered for the Xth time. Now at 3 weeks, he gets them whenever he's having a freakout moment, and we're just glad to offer him relief.Updated now that he's 7.5 weeks: still great! I wash in hot, soapy water and they clean nicely. Beware if you use these near a blanket (it's winter, so he gets a blanket tucked in around his car seat and Rock & Play sometimes, as they can attract dust and hair (and in my house, dog fur!). They also fit nicely into a Nookums Paci-Plush stuffed toy, though the first time is tricky to get it in. I prefer the Nookums over Wubbanub, since the Nookums can work with many different pacifiers, and you can remove them for cleaning. I've even run my Nookum elephant through the washing machine and let it air dry and it looks brand new!Update: Right around when my son turned 3 months old, he didn't like the Soothies much. We bought the next level up (3m+), which are thicker, but he HATED those. He is now in love with MAM pacifiers - maybe because we use MAM bottles?

After starting to feel a little frazzled from lack of sleep in the hospital, a nurse brought me this soothie with the profoundly truthful advice: You have to take care of yourself so you can take care of him. If this helps you get a little more sleep, it is worth it! I was afraid giving my newborn a pacifier would cause nipple confusion and get in the way of breastfeeding (which wasn't going so well in the first week), but after using this pacifier my son seemed just fine! Babies need to suck more than they can eat, so my baby would fuss sometimes after falling off the breast. He wasn't hungry, but he wanted to suck. Sometimes he found his hand, but sometimes he fussed and cried for longer than my new mom heart could take. Enter this lifesaving device. I offer it to him when he is fussy right before naps and bedtime, and he loves it! I got over my new parent guilt and just enjoyed the extra minutes of quiet (read: sleep) and the calmer, happier baby.After coming home, I bought a few more of these just to have on hand. The nipple shape is closer to a human nipple, and the entire thing is silicone (soft and hygienic!). I feel comfortable giving this a quick rinse under hot hot water and cooling it off before giving it to baby.

As a new mom, I only recently discovered the absolute need of a pacifier for a new baby. We started out with several different kinds of pacifiers, but these always end up being the ones that we use. We ended up buying multiple sets of the same pacifiers. These are nice quality and easy for my son to keep in his mouth. He seems to spit out any other kind of pacifier. I also like that there is a small hole behind the nipple where I can hold my finger there to hold the pacifier in baby's mouth or just to hold it outside of baby's mouth. Even my son (at 3 months) is able to wrap his tiny little fingers around the ledge of the pacifier and basically push the pacifier back into his own mouth! The price is just right and I would probably pay even more for these because I like them so much. Many of my friends that have babies agree that these pacifiers are the best ones on the market! Do yourself a favor and get these pacifiers! ALSO, i must add that these pacifiers also have small holes in the front that allow you to easily attach the pacifier clip.

These pacifiers are the same ones they provided to us at the hospital when my son was born. I grabbed as many as I could while we were in the hospital because I knew they would be lost quickly under couches, in the car, etc. but I couldn’t get enough so I’ve had to purchase them on amazon a few times.These are the “soothies” model. Our son will not take another type of pacifier because he is used to these. They are the closest to the look and feel of what a nursing mother has. I love that there is the hole in the middle to put your finger in and feel the baby suckling. It’s just such a cool feeling. It also helps my son calm down and feel that I’m there. My son is now 3 months old and still uses them regularly to soothe himself to sleep. I have also read that having a baby fall asleep with a pacifier can help reduce the risk of SIDS, so I like that benefit too.My only complaint about this style is that they kind of take up his whole face. So in pictures you mostly just see the pacifier.It’s advised to not use pacifiers until 6 weeks when breastfeeding has been established but these did not cause our son nipple confusion. (Every baby is different, I did not allow my now 8 year old to use a pacifier and now I’m wondering why because it really does help them learn to self soothe)Every time I purchase something online, I always check the reviews. I count on others to help me choose the best option. My reviews are always my honest opinion and I try to include photos if possible.If my review has helped you in any way, please click the "helpful" button below so that I know!

I got these as a gift for a baby shower present and they are always a successful and useful gift for others!

I ordered the green set (2 pieces) and I received the pink and purple set. They still work great

This pacifier was purchased for my nephew and he’s a newborn and loves it 👍

Baby shower gift for a little boy. Yes, Mom knows but everyone is looking forward to meeting him.
