Holiday Gift Guide Feature …
When my boys were babies they had pacifiers, both of them. However we had simple pacifiers, nothing fancy. Well move over — because now pacifiers aren’t just fancy they are fashionable! Philips AVENT has a range of pacifiers to help soothe babies when they need comfort and are designed specifically for babies of all age ranges and stages. So now you, too can shower baby with style.
I love these little pacifiers. I got my nephew a few for Christmas and a girlfriend who just had a baby. Philips AVENT pacifiers are made with the highest in safety standards. They are taste, odor and BPA-free, which is truly important. These Fashion Girl and Boy Mixed Case pacifiers are bright, colorful and have designs that are just fun. With user-friendly silicone nipples that are smooth and transparent, they can be sterilized, are dishwasher safe, and come with a snap on hygienic cap plus a safety ring handle with holes in the shield to prevent skin irritations.
Now I know there is talk about the pros and cons of using a pacifier. As I said both my boys were on one. Mainly because I did not want my kids to suck their fingers or thumb. Being a former finger sucker – it hurts the growth and development of a child’s teeth. But also one of my son’s had extreme re-flux and using a pacifier soothed him when nothing else would, and weaning him off it was not difficult.
Pacifiers Can Be Useful!
1. Sucking is a normal reflex for babies and the urge to suck is important to nourishment. Some babies need to suck beyond nursing or bottle feeding and using a pacifier can satisfy that need.
2. Pacifiers can lower the risk of over-feeding baby when bottle fed. Lots of times my son would finish his bottle but still want to suck. Young parents will often give their child another bottle when instead a sterilized pacifier does the trick and provides baby the comfort they often need.
If you are looking for a holiday gift for a sweet baby boy/girl, then look no further. Grab one of these adorable and fun pacifier packs and slip it into their stocking. Mom and Dad won’t be disappointed, and neither with babe. Suggested Retail Price for the duo pack is $8.49 and can be found at Babies R Us

Some mothers also report pacifiers cause latch issues while breast feeding.
Children who continued past the age of 3 had a nearly 15% higher occurrence
of dental arch changes. There's is nothing worse then having to undress
and re-swaddle a baby right after you just changed their
diaper.
Oh gosh ours were deadly impossible to get my sensory seeker off of. These are good ones and my youngest really used hers. She chewed them until she bit holes in some. SPD meant she chewed everything – shorts and doo doos were commonly chewed up here.
oh I love those new boy designs! the ones we had for the boys were so boring!
I tried on both of my kiddo's but none would take a soother, which ended up being ok in the long run, but at the time I just wanted them to so badly! lol I love Avent, so I am sure they are good products!
We used 'soo soos' too 🙂 DD didn't take to the Avent ones, but we finally found one she liked.
Two out of three of my kids were soother suckers (the first and the last). I love the soother and was quite confused when my middle child didn't accept one! lol! My dd2 loves her soother so much that she has one in her mouth and one in her hand when she sleeps! I dread age 3 when it disappears from naps! lol!
