Pros: So many styles, colors and sizes. Very Safe and affordable. Cons: Never found anything wrong with them.
Gerber NUK pacifiers are the best that I have tried. They come in so many different color combinations and styles. There are different sizes so you can choose the right one for your childs age. They are contoured to fit your childs mouth comfortably....
Pros: Orthodontic nipple, silicon OR latex variety, great designs. Cons: none come to mind...though you can never have enough!
If I had known that my three children would love their pacifiers so much I would have bought stock in the company! The Nuk pacifiers were the ONLY ones my kids would use. Believe me I tried to sneak a different one in there on occasion and it would fly...
Ahhh, the age old pacifier. Where would we be without it? My daughter had this thing in her mouth from the minute she was born. You hear so much about the pros and cons of a pacifier but a baby has a need to suck and without these wonderful gadgets we...
The only pacifier my baby uses is the Nuk orthodontic pacifier. She showed a preference for this shape early on. That was fine with me, because I trust the Gerber name. So that part was up to her, but the rest is up to me. What color, what design?...
Pros: variety of sizes for growth, color Cons: handle, but it's removeable
My baby is about 1 month old and has to constantly suck something! Like many of you, the NUK newborn pacifier was given to my baby at the hospital. And, she loved it.
OVERVIEW
Remove the handle
The Nipple Confusion Debate ...
Pros: Comforts babies when they are not hungry and just want to suck Cons: They get old and then seem to disappear some how!
When my daughter was born like every mother I wanted to Breastfeed her with all my heart and soul, but when it came down to actually doing it, she wouldn't take to it. Though I tried and tried, she just didn't want to latch on. While we were in the...
Pros: low price,soft nipple,lots of colors,pleases most babies Cons: soft nipple,some may think no character on the front is a con.
With my first child I was really uncertain about whether or not to let him have a pacifier.But after a few days I was quite certain that he did need one!!!
The Nuk was my first choice because it came in a small size and the nipple was soft,and it...
Prior to my older daughter's birth, I swore I would never use a pacifier. I was sure pacifier use was the Gateway to Hades. That, along with many of my other preconceived notions about children, changed after she came home.
Pros: The perfect pacifier. Cons: The largest size (3) can be hard to find.
Now that we are raising our third child, I feel that it's safe to say Gerber NUK pacifiers are the "binky" of choice in our home. All three of our children have refused other pacifiers, only taking this exact one as a comfort. And they...
Pros: handle, shape , range of sizes Cons: shouldn't use past the age of two
This brand of pacifier has gone through twelve, almost thirteen (in a week), children. The handle is a fabulous plus: It fits around your finger, so you're not dropping it every other second, and when the baby is big enough he can easily grab it. ...
Pros: Shape, colors, and handle Cons: latex is harder to clean
I was one of those people who thought that my baby wouldn't need a pacifier (though I wasn't against them.) I had been given a nuk in my birthing class. What a miracle that was. After three weeks of zero sleep I attempted to give my daughter a...
Pros: affordable and found everywhere Cons: easy to lose
The baby that I live with must have an oral fixation. She has to have *something* in her mouth at all times-- a "sucky," or a breast, and when the sucky is lost among piles of baby 'stuff' and her mama is not available, even a fist will...
Pros: simple, assorted colors, safe, quality. Cons: as baby gets older, must teach respect of pacifiers purpose.
My daughter has loved pacifiers since she was born. I never considered denying her the comfort of her pap-pap ( as she calls it). Gerber has always provided us with safe, simple, assorted colors and themes while remaining a small, purpose oriented...
Oh my goodness, what would life be without the Nuk? Let me see, we've tried it, and none of us in the house were happy campers. My daughter (she is eleven months old now) LOVES her "mumple". We are stationed overseas so sometimes our supply...
Being a first-time mom, I wanted to make sure my newborn was as happy and comfortable as possible. I research before making any baby-related purchase. When there isn't adequate information, I conduct my own research and tests. This is how I...
Pros: Many different nipple sizes, good colors & handle Cons: None
When it was time to make the decision on which pacifier to use for my daughter it was not a hard decision to choose the Gerber Nuk Classic Pacifier. The name has been around for many years and is deeply trusted. I feel that the Gerber Nuk Classic...
Pros: Easy to clean, great colors, easy to attach to holders, price Cons: can interfere with breastfeeding
When both my children were babies, I looked for some kind of relief from what they call "comfort nursing". Babies have a natural need to suckle- so pacifiers can sometimes be a lifesaver.
Pros: recommended by our doctor, babies take them easily, a cute variety of colors and characters Cons: I wish it was easier to find the silicone kind
When I had my first daughter almost 6 years ago I wasn't sure if I wanted to use a pacifier with her or not. After a week or two of her wanting to eat all the time we bought our first "binkie". Her doctor actually recommended NUK by name and...
Pros: Orthodontic shape, handle for attaching strap Cons: none that i can see
My daughter LOVES! this pacifier. It is the only one she will use which is great because this pacifier is designed to promote tooth growth in the correct alignment. When I came home from the hospital I had about 4 different brands of pacifiers that had...
Pros: Carried by many stores, babies love them Cons: none I can think of
We love this pacifier! My seven week old son would agree that this is one of the best pacifiers there is. Our hospital provided us with a complimentary Nuk after he was born and he has been hooked ever since.
Pros: quick soother for fussy babies! Cons: when you can't take it away from the baby? I don't know
I admit yes, I approve of pacifiers. My children have all had the Gerber NUK and I have taken it away between the ages of 6-8 months. My youngest daughter was about 1 1/2 years (shame on me) and my older son was long too. Too lazy. <GRIN> My...
Pros: handy, good supplement, security Cons: taking it away
In my opinion, Nuks are a wonderful invention. They have saved my life so many times. If I am in a store shopping, and my nine-month old baby boy starts crying, but he's not hungry, what do I do? Stick the nuk in his mouth. He loves it.
Before I gave birth to our son, I was set against giving him a pacifier since I was planning on nursing him. But the hospital gave us a Gerber NUK brand pacifier and at first we didn't use it, but after we got home since he had a need to suck for...
Pros: Prevents buck teeth Cons: I wish at times they could be attached like a surgical mask. LOL
Babies need to suck. They get something from it that sooths them. This orthodontic pacifier will certainly put your mind at ease while your babies teeth are coming in. I am a Registered Dental Assistant and Registered Dental Hygienist and I want to do...
Pros: soothing to baby Cons: need to take everywhere I go
I admit I was scared to give my child a pacifier. My husband bought the NUK pacifiers and told me they will be a lifesaver. Being his second child and my first, I let him try on occasion, but I almost cried.
Pros: could enhance sucking reflex Cons: pay close attention to size and shape chosen to prevent nasal obstruction
As a professional in the medical field for over ten years, I feel I can honestly review this product for the consumers. The very first place your newborn resides is the newborn nursery. There a feeding schedule will begin and choices of products like...
Ever since the first few hours my daughter was born she has had her pacifier. It a NUK one, nothing fancy, just a plain colored one tha seems to soothe her to sleep. The reason I chose to give her this kind of pacifier was because it had the newborn size...
Pros: These are the best i think. Cons: none only when i lose them
My son loves these pacifiers and they are his favorite and they are so neat because they come with a pacifier holder.So we don't lose it supposedly but i think we have a pacifier thief.
This is what i think personally that they are the best...
I am the mother of four wonderful children. With each of these children I started out with the mentality that I would not let this child get used to a pacifier. I soon learned that each one of my children had different plans!
Pros: As good as a security blanket Cons: can become bad habit if used at night
My baby is three weeks old today, and I told myself that I would not let this one have a pacifier. However after much consideration and reading up, I realized that babies, find comfort in sucking. This doesn't mean, they need a paci stuffed in their...
Pros: Shapes to contour of mouth,easier habit to break Cons: loosing pacifiers, constantly having to have one handy
I didn't want to give my child a pacifier because I was always told that was a bad habit to start. My daughter began to nurse Too often and too much where she made herself sick and would spit it back up without even digesting the milk. The doctor...
My first son would not take to the pacifier. He just was not interested in it. However, when my second son came along four years later, I knew I wanted to have pacifiers on hand just in case.
Pros: Inexpensive Pacifier Cons: Wears out with constant use
We've had three or four Nuk Pacifiers. When our son was born prematurely, we had to try about 6 different brands before we could find one that fit properly. (We didn't know about preemie pacifiers then.) The Nuk brand was the one he preferred, and has...
Pros: very affordable, durable and easy to clean Cons: None
NUK pacifiers seem to be a very loved item in our house! When my son Joshua was born he did not really use a pacifier very much, but when he did it was always a Nuk that he stuck in his mouth. Then when we got pregnant again with his sister, we decided...
Pros: Lasts, child loved it, inexpensive Cons: Occasionally a tear in Nipple itself, and needed to be disgarded
My second child was the only one of 3 who took any interest in pacifiers, and the Gerber NUK-classic pacifier was his only choice. We tried a couple other brands, because we were given about 5 when he was born & he just spit them out. They held up...
Pros: non-addictive shape, low price Cons: All pacifiers are a con if the baby gets dependant
I hate all pacifiers!! lol But you need them for a while. Any mother who says the Binky didn't save her sanity is lying to you. Every once in a while you just want them to QUIET UP! LOL But you don't want them hooked..... so you get the...
Pros: Inexpensive, great design, used by hospitals. Cons: Yuck gets stuck around bottom of nipple.
I had not planned on giving my newborn a pacifier as I was nursing and did't want to go throught the whole nipple confusion thing. Plus, I did not want to have to go through the trauma (mine - ha!ha!:)) of breaking him of it.
I received a couple of the NUK pacifiers as a gift at my baby shower. What a relief says it all. In the middle of the night when my son wakes up all I have to do is give him his pacifier and back to sleep he goes. They even work during the day. My...
Pros: silicone nipple,comes with a pacifier keeper Cons: none
This is a great pacifier! It has a silicone nipple and is a NUK. A NUK is designed to help teeth grow in straight. Where as the thumb or other pacifiers can cause teeth to grow in crooked.
The Gerber NUK pacifier comes with a matching pacifier...
Pros: Great design, easy to hold onto Cons: They seem to just get up and walk away - just when you need one!
If you have read any of my other reviews, you know that I was pretty clueless when Amy was born just a few weeks ago. A few long, exasperating weeks ago. (I vaguely remember sleep - don't you?) Anyway, Amy never had a pacifier in her mouth whenever...
Pros: Great shape, big handle, great design Cons: Can't see baby's face when its stuck in his/her mouth!
When my three year old was born, I vowed never to stick a hideous looking "plug" into his mouth. My nurse in the recovery room, however, did not respect my wishes, and when my son came back from a check-up with a rubber-pacifier you only find in...
Pros: This pacifier WORKS! Cons: fluff gets stuck around the nipple
In My opinion, the classic NUK is the best pacifier out there. Hands Down.Gerber Nuk seemed to be the most common one given to me at his shower. Go Figure!
We use this pacifier in between feedings when he has the desire to suck. Its great. We...
What a soother!! My daughter is 7 months old. She breastfeeds, and refuses to take a bottle. She has started teething, and consequently has gotten much more cranky!
I started trying to give this to her a few weeks ago when the teeth...
Pros: Nipple shape, Preferred by baby, Easy to clean Cons: None
Before our baby was born, we purchased several brands of pacifiers. And, we received some NUK pacifiers from the hospital. The hospital's nurses and doctors seemed to know something we didn't--babies love the NUK! Our daughter prefers it to all the...
I am sure that cashiers must think I am a NUK addict. I cannot have too many of these at my house. My daughter loves them. She is now nine months old and teething and she seems to always have NUK in her hand. When she was about two months old I...
Pros: easy to use,very convenient,reasonably priced,easy to keep track of Cons: hard to get rid of
As the mother of three children who all used pacifiers, I can't say enough about the NUK pacifier. I have used every brand in 12 years and none of my children had any interest in any but the NUK Over he years the shield design has changed but the...
Pros: cheap, durable, daughter loves them! Cons: they fill with water, they grow legs and run off!!
I did not plan on giving my daughter any pacifiers but when I was breast feeding, her need to suck all the time was more then my body could take. I caved in and grabbed the pacifier the hospital sent home with us and placed it in her mouth. I was...
Pros: orthodontic shaped nipple, many colors and designs to chose from, handle Cons: baby can take it out with the handle...
As a first time mother, I was hesitant to give my son pacifier fearing that I would have a tough time breaking the habit. But after a few days of crying and not being able to soothe him, I finally gave in and sent my fiance out to buy a pacifier....
Pros: Great shape to conform to mouth and provide comfort. Cons: Not geared toward children that are smaller in size at birth
As a concerned mom, when my son was born I wanted to find a pacifier that would be the most comfortable and keep him the happiest. The Gerber NUK seemed to provide him with everything that I was looking for at that time.
Pros: My daughter loved them as a newborn Cons: no silicon in newborn size
Let me first state that I own about twenty pacifiers. They come in all different colors, shapes and sizes. When my daughter was first born, this was the only pacifier she would take. I simply could not keep any other pacifier in her mouth.
The...
When my newborn first came home with me, he was a quiet little gentleman for the first three days. I thought I got lucky and had me a fuss free baby. He showed me that he was just saving it all up and colic hit.
Pros: Affordable and Available Cons: Not the longest lasting for older kids! :o(
My son is now 3 1/2 years old. His 'paci' and his blanket are his best friend's in the world, and luckily for my husband and I, he got hooked on the cheap one. No, but seriously.. my son has been using the NUK pacifier since birth, supplemented by an...
Pros: comforts baby, satisfies babies need for sucking Cons: shouldn't be a substitute for attention
First of all, I believe pacifiers are a good thing...if used properly.
I bought my daughter a NUK pacifier when she was 8 days old because we were halfway through a very long trip, it was getting dark and there were long stretches of highway...
Pros: Great design Cons: Not made for babies with big cheeks. Hard plastic piece is to round.
My baby has big cheeks. He loves his pacifier to pieces, however I hate how it left two big red lines on his face. For my next child I have been looking for a pacifier like the Gerber one but not as curved. Parents' choice has one. Exactly like Gerber...
Pros: Helps pacify baby's sucking desire Cons: Baby might cry for it when it falls out of his mouth
My 8 week old baby has a strong desire to suck and the Gerber Nuk pacifier seems to do the trick. He's a big boy and is hungry all the time, but I can't feed him all the time, so the Nuk pacifies him inbetween feedings when he has the desire to suck....
Pros: does not fall apart as easily as other Cons: not able to find size 2 easily in my area
If you feel you must use a pacifier, the NUK Classic is the best choice in my opinion. We have since retired the NUK in our home about 6 months ago, but NUK was our choice. We have used almost every one on the market, and feel that the Nuk Classic stood...
Pros: Baby didn't get nipple confusion,inexpensive,wide range of styles. Cons: Shape of shield leaves red imprint on my strong sucker's face..
I dislike pacifiers...my first daughter never used one. Now comes dear daughter number two, who is not quite as laid back as her older sister, and here I am reviewing the product I swore I'd never buy. I have here a baby that needs to suck to...
This was the security object of choice at our house. I have had YEARS of experience with this product both with my daughter and the children for whom I provided child care.
These pacifiers come in three sizes. I only have experience with size...
Pros: Doesn't hurt baby's teeth Cons: Two pieced pacifier is a choking hazard
I used these pacifiers for my three year old when she was a baby and I use them for my baby now. I figure why stop a good thing? Most parents today do use a pacifier for their infant to quiet them or to ease their need of suckling. I am one of these...
Pros: Nice curved nipple to fit baby's little mouth Cons: Base can sometimes leak air in....requiring you to purchase another one
I am a true believer in the excellent quality of the Gerber NUK Pacifier.
This was my son's favorite brand and if I tried to purchase a different style from another company, he would not take it. I had to always have several on hand just incase I...
Pros: nipple shape, stays in baby's mouth Cons: handle gets in the way sometimes
I love the Nuk nipple pacifiers. The shape of the nipple is contoured to the shape if the inside of baby's mouth. This allows for proper placement of the tongue and proper growth of the tongue and jaw. Regular nipples are apt to push the tongue down...
Pros: Orthodontic, silicone nipple and easy to grip handle Cons: Hard to find the ones with silicone nipples in some stores, tend to vanish into thin air when you need them the most
I must admit I've chuckled a bit when reading all the impassioned testimonials about which pacifier is the BEST! How can you get that worked up about a pacifier? It's just a cheap piece of plastic with a latex or silicone nipple, after all. After my...
Pros: was a lifesaver in the first few weeks Cons: see below
I was given some of the nuk pacifiers in the hospital. They were a lifesaver for me because my baby is one of those eternal suckers. :-) but as my baby began to gain weight and fill out a bit I began to notice two things that eventually made me switch...
Pros: to keep child quiet Cons: to keep out from rotten teeth and bad breath
For a many year a Pacifier helped children to be quiet at the bed time or whatever.
If we look through the years, easy to find out that Pacifier very helpful, but years later you find out that Pacifier brings to your kids life not straight teeth or...
Pros: Free from hospital; soothed baby for awhile Cons: Didn't like the handle; liquid trapped inside
Ok Ok the great pacifier debate. Everyone has strong reasons for and against the use of a "binky" but as any parent with a fussy baby will tell you, they are at times, a life saver. We got this NUK pacifier free from our birthing class and also...
Pros: Brightly colored and easy to find when dropped Cons: Must be frequently washed
My son has always been a bit of a self-soother, but doesn't seem to have an addictive personality, so pacifiers were never a big issue in our home. He finds one way to soothe himself and within a month or so, he's moved on to bigger and better things....
Pros: Many sizes and styles available, nipple shape works for many infants Cons: THE HANDLES
This was the pacifier of choice by our hospital. This is what was offered if you forgot to bring along a choice of your own. For the cost of the birth of this baby I am taking all freebies, I decided. Free diapers, free formula (though I breast fed),...
Pros: The Soft Nipple Is Flatter And Easier For Baby To Hold In His/Her Mouth, Have A Handle, Air Flow Vents Cons: Nipples Wear Out Way Too Fast!!
During the period of time that I used pacifiers with my son, I bought a couple of these pacifiers (the red, yellow, and blue ones). They were fairly affordable, but not the best quality pacifiers out there. I did like the fact that their nipples were...
Pros: Pacifies Baby from crying! Cons: Possible choking hazard and hard to keep clean.
As a mother of a toddler now and aunt to 6 six kids, I have seen a lot of problems with pacifiers of many name brands. Just because you want a quick way to pacify your child doesn't make pacifiers the best choice. I personally did not use a pacifier for...
I think what pacifier you use all depends on the baby's preference so I can't say 1 shape is better than another. My first daughter spit the Nuk across the room and would have nothing to do with a pacifier not in the traditional Mam shape. My second...
I have a six month old baby and like most parents we believed that by buying a six month old ( stage two ) pacifier we were sure to be safe. That is until, like most six month old babies who put everything in thier mouths, our child rolled over and...
Pros: Variety of sizes, a great value, a good fit Cons: Wash the nipple...it attracts yucky stuff at the top.
When purchasing items for your new baby...you can't ever buy enough pacifiers!!! Gerber NUK pacifiers have been a life saver in our household. My son loves to suck on anything and everything. However, he can tell when we put a pacifier in his mouth that is not a NUK pacifier. He spits out the other nipples shapes. With a NUK, he can suck on it for 30 minutes or more. The Gerber NUK has a nice shape that fits around his mouth and under his nose. Some pacifier that we have tried rub the bottom of his nose and are uncomfortable for him. One draw back...you have to wash these frequently. Somehow, they attract yucky stuff at the top of the nipple.
