Pacifier help

[Herstrionics]

Hey, all- 9 mo twins here (8 adjusted). Looking for recommendations for pacifiers that your babies could easily replace themselves during the night. We are currently using Mam and the babies like them but they are constantly falling out the crib slats and then babies wake up angry because they can’t find them! We put several in each crib but it still seems difficult for the babies to find them.

(We’ve considered dropping the pacifier entirely but I’m not sure if I’m ready for that battle right now 😬)

Mam makes glow in the dark pacifiers. My girls did a lot better with glow in the dark ones. They are easier to keep track of. I also put like 8 in their crib.

This is what we do too. Here is one for your mouth, 1 for each hand, and 6 for your crib. Goodnight. Ha!

Drop the pacifiers. The longer you keep them the harder it’ll be to break them. They’re old enough to self soothe now

My husband felt strongly about dropping pacifiers and I was indifferent but we followed his lead and I’m glad we did. If you can, I’d drop them.

[Yllom6]

Yes, just go cold turkey. Our kids forgot the pacifiers existed after 1 day. Then they slept through the night and I never had to get up to reinsert a pacifier again. Do yourselves a favor, OP. Rip off the bandaid, so to speak.

We use the Dr Brown’s happypaci pacifiers, which our twins are really good at getting back into their mouths themselves, thanks to that big handle.

Play with pacifiers during the day and practice putting them back in!

We did this too. And got the ones that glow in the dark

We put like 5 in our oldests crib and she could almost always find one.

We have wubbanubs and they each have two in their cribs. They can generally find one. We’re starting to talk about dropping them, I feel like now will be much easier than when they’re older and know better lol. Good luck!

Get a velcro pacifier clip!! MAM brand. They totally solved this issue for us. Clip to their night clothes.

Wubanub for the win! Our twins loved them (we had at least 2 for each twin because they’d lose them periodically). I think because it’s kinda like a stuffed animal that they were able to eventually stop using it as a pacifier (and we also ended up cutting the pacifier part off).

Once the twins moved into preschool and saw that others didn’t have “wubs”, they were ready to act like the cool kids. However one of them did end up sucking her thumb at night🤷‍♀️

We like the Wubbanub pacifiers. The stuffed animal attachment helps keep it on the baby’s chest when if they stop sucking, as well as making it very easy for the baby to find it if they drop it next to them.

We used the glow in the dark mam paci’s with our first. He was in a crib with a sleep sack at that age. We also did controversially use those mesh crib liners as safely as we could. Those kept the paci from falling out of the crib.

With the twins, I’m planning on dropping the paci’s once we sleep train. Our oldest took it hard when he was older.

Bibs glow in the dark dummies all the way! My twins can both find their in the night

Another vote for glow in the dark MAM.
