Gumdrop Pacifier

Was/is your kid a paci kid?

Seems to me that kids are either paci kids or not paci kids. I had one of each.

My second child wanted absolutely nothing to do with a paci after the first couple of months. My first? I had to pry that thing away from him on his 3rd birthday with promises of fabulous toys and prizes.

What I quickly learned about paci kids is that they have discriminating palates when it comes to their paci of choice. There was only ONE specific kind of paci that my son liked, and God help us if we tried to sneak in the wrong type in an emergency situation.

Apparently, the Gumdrop Pacifier is the brand most preferred by hospitals and if your kid comes home from the hospital attached to one of these precious treasures, you had better have a source for replenishing lost Gumdrops.

And now, one is available. Gumdrop Pacifiers are now sold directly to the public so you never have to worry about a paci meltdown again.

Gumdrop pacifiers are BPA, latex and Phthalate-free. The hole in the handle makes it easy to attach pacifier clips, and it’s easy to clean because there are no grooves and ridges for, ahem, gunk to get stuck in.

You can buy 1-6 Gumdrops for $1.95 or go for bulk pricing by getting 7 or more at $1.67.

Speaking as a person who spent an amount equivalent to the national debt of a third world country on pacifiers, I’d buy in bulk.

    Yeah, I was glad when that phase was over. We had arranged for a visit from The Bottle Fairy who came along and took away all the pacifiers and baby bottles when my son turned two. We hung them outside on the doorknob and called for the Bottle Fairy to come. “No babies live here!” we yelled down the empty street. “Come and take these for the other babies!”

    Some time later, the pacifiers and bottles were gone, replaced by a small bag of little toys.

    Oh, the hospital pacis are the. best. The Gumdrops look similar to the Soothies, which was what we used, and we were ecstatic to be able to find them in the store. One of mine gave it up easily for her thumb, and the other used it to 18 months, but getting her off of it was no problem. The youngest stopped at 4 months. Which made me kind of sad.

    I am now a grandmother. none of my children and grandchildren used pacifiers passed the colic time (usually first 3 months) I have seen with others who allow their kids use them well past one year have some strange issues with teeth and more importantly their unbearable need to have their pacifier even pinned in some way to their clothes so it is constantly available. Nothing is grosser to me than seeing a toddler with a ‘plug’ in their mouth. Who wants that more the child or the caregiver’s want of quiet?
