Baby Products Reviews of The First Years Newborn Soothie Pacifiers, 2-Pack
Customer Review: My twins LOVE them
Summary: 5 Stars
I had twins at 36 weeks and they were given these pacifiers at the hospital. They both love them and won't take to anything else. I tried a different paci when we were at the store and it fell on the floor. One of my boys just cried and refused to take it. If you like something visually different, try the gumdrop pacifiers. They are awesome too. One of my boys loves that one and the other loves the Soothies, but they're pretty much interchangeable as they both have the same nipple type. The gumdrop pacifiers also come in preemie size.Customer Review: Great, just lacking smaller attacher
Summary: 4 Stars
After trying several pacifiers including the binky, my 2 month old loved the soothie. While other pacifiers seemed to allow air to be sucked in, the soothie makes a tight seal. I also love that there is no nipple air pocket that seems to look grungy very quickly. The only change I would make would be an smaller attachment system. I have avoided buying the attachment because it looks so big! I might give it a try...Customer Review: my 2 month old cannot keep it in
Summary: 1 Stars
My baby likes his Avent paci just fine, but I bought this one to try it out since it is more natural nipple shaped than the Avent. He takes it initially with no problem, but cannot seem to keep it in his mouth more than a few seconds. I had to keep popping it back in. I really did give it many tries, but the problem persists. Another downside is aesthetics. I find it ugly and kind of creepy looking. The Avent paci is clear, small, well ventilated and is easy to attach to a "keeper". I couldn't figure out how to attach the Soothie to the kind of keeper I have. Needless to say, I'm staying with the Avent. Plus, the Avent comes with a cover to keep it clean. To each their own, however. Baby will have to decide, not mom and dad!Customer Review: Not for use with babies with nipple confusion/preference, no cover
Summary: 2 Stars
My son was two weeks early (38 weeks) and as I wasn't informed, allowed him to use this in the hospital. He took it it, though later would prefer Avent paci's but this along with other artificial nipples added to problems I would have breastfeeding him. Trips to laction consultants later and I found a way, and left this soothie behind. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security believing that using this won't interfere with early breastfeeding. Nipple confusion is very real and disruptive to breastfeeding moms who encounter it.
The soothie has no cover, transporting this requires a paci holder pod, which to me is a waste of money if you buy binkys that have covers on their own. So okay binky. My son liked it, but it's not a fail proof soother for breastfed babies in the beginning.
Customer Review: had to get more
Summary: 3 Stars
I had to get more of these after my hospital gave this to my newborn - he won't take another pacifier now :( They are very well made and rubber construction but I had a bunch of another brand.
