How to get baby to take a paci

My baby won’t take a pacifier at all 😅 i’ve tried all shapes, the only time she will ever take it is when she’s hungry, but obviously i don’t want her to use it then… Any tips 😭 i’ve tried different shapes and brands, tommee tippee, mam, the cherry shaped ones from supermarket, wubbanub and now bibs (the last two are the best ones so far so she defo prefers the rounder shapes). Any advice would be great, she just flicks them to the side of her mouth and pushes them out with her tongue, she’s 7 weeks on tues as well if that helps and ebf. Thanks!

Some babies just don’t take to a dummy so she might be one of them babies that just won’t want to use a dummy for comfort☺️

Why are you forcing it?! Mine never had a dummy so I never had the battle of removing it. Clearly she isn’t interested - it’s no bad thing!

@Francesca because she uses me as a human paci lol, and she has reflux, not forcing it, just looking for new ways to try as i’m not sure i’m introducing it correctly, good for you though i’m glad you managed without 🥰

@Julia I think she may be but part of me isn’t sure i’m introducing it correctly 😅 she’s not keen on the bottle either really, but eventually i will need to go back to work and i won’t be able to be her human pacifier every 20-30 minutes 🤣 just want to see if there’s anything i haven’t tried x

@Caitlin oh! She’s only 7 weeks so still very small. I would go with it personally and review again in a few weeks. Good luck 🤞🏻she wants mummy 🥰🥰

Run the soothe under warm water to see if it will work?? I tried it with my NB and she takes it.

@Julia i just want them for when my boobs get too sore really as she’s a very colicky babe so sometimes it’s a little much bless her 😅 i will give it a go thank you x

@Caitlin Aww bless her. Give these 2 dummies a go and see if any of them work. The MAM comfort 0-2 are quite small so they might be better as I noticed when my little girl was 6/7 weeks old she pushed the dummies out as they were too big for her and once I gave her the MAM comfort dummy she took to it straight away. Both of these are sold in Asda if you have one near you x

Why do you want them to take one? We’ve never used one.

It took my daughter 8 weeks and over 5 brands! I brought the bibs ones and she loves them But i tried each brand for about 2 days offering it constantly and she finnalt took them

@Lucy bibs and wubbanub is defo the 2 she prefers , i think the bibs may just be slightly too big im not sure 😅 and yeh i think i try it a couple times then give up lol, i will try a bit more x
