Tommee Tippee Breast-Like Pacifier, 0-6 Months, Symmetrical Design, Natural Breast-Like Baglet, BPA-Free Binkies, Pastel/Blue/Black, Pack of 4

Okay I know it sounds crazy but we gave this to our son when he was 7 months old. At 2 months old after trying close to a dozen different pacifiers (we call them a chupo) we gave up all together on our son taking one. This was fine with us as with breastfeeding we had ALL the fun issues; thrush, latch issues, mastitis, overactive letdown, smaller than normal mouth on baby with larger than normal nipple on mama. Not kidding. Once we got everything taken care of we were golden but we birthed our child at a hospital that not only encourages breastfeeding, you have to get a physician’s order for your child to get formula. They do not recommend an artificial nipple such as a bottle or a chupo at all and then if preferred by the parent at 6 weeks to avoid some of the above mentioned issues. We were completely on board as we wanting to succeed with breastfeeding. We only introduced our child to a chupo twice before 6 weeks at the insistence of Daddy who honestly believed that would calm the baby down. It did not work exactly as Mama said as baby wanted Mama for comfort nursing and feeding. At our one month checkup the pediatrician felt our son wasn’t gaining enough weight and recommended we give him formula twice a day. So even though we hadn’t wanted to use an artificial nipple we needed to. Enter in Tommee Tippee closer to nature bottles. These nipples are just like Mama. Guess what? Baby drank from the bottle like a champ first time out the gate. And returned to the breast with zero problems. Actually made feeding easier. When they say closer to nature, they mean it! Baby is 9 months and uses these bottles as he doesn’t nurse anymore but still gets breast milk and formula ( we use Holle) daily. Now as to why we tried THIS chupo at 7 months. My son has had multiple ear infections, swallow issues, acid reflux, sleep apnea, early teething and a few more problems. He needed to be able to self soothe when he was hurting and he had begun screaming and crying until he was hoarse and pulled his hair out. Gripe water and teething tablets can only go so far when they only solve the little problems. So when doing my usual middle of the night research I came across a blog where other mothers had babies that were experiencing the same thing and they spoke of giving their children an old nipple from a bottle they would take if they wouldn’t take a chupo. We didn’t have any to spare so off I go to Amazon and I came across these. Now our son has a smaller than normal mouth so he got the smaller size and when he was offered it the first time he not only took it, he relaxed and was able to nap and sleep better on his own and hair grew back and we have a much much much happier child. As he’s grown he doesn’t need it all the time but any time he’s fussy/sick/overtired we offer it. The pack came with 4. We use one for nighttime that stays in his crib, two with clipped straps for daytime and outings and the 4th we gave to a mommy who has a 2 month old who would not take a chupo either. Her first child did but was formula fed only but baby #2 is EBF and takes this chupo with zero issues. This is THE pacifier to give your child. Whether they are EBF, bottle and breast or bottle only, this is where you should start.

All my kids have always preferred this brand over other so when I saw that they had this type of pacifier, I had to try it out.My 14 month old loves these and had no issue getting used to it but my 4 month old needs help keeping it in. I’d say it’s a little bit heavy for a newborn or infant to keep in the first few times but I’m sure my 4 month old will be get used to it.They’re really easy to clean and I like that it’s just one piece, no handles or anything like that, I like the round shape and that the colors are easy to match with different outfits.I know the pacifier is meant to be like a breast if you’re breastfeeding but I found that it doesn’t really make a difference, your baby will either like it or not regardless of being breast or bottle fed.I would definitely recommend giving this pacifier a try though.

Love these pacifiers. I have a NICU baby and these are light enough he’s able to hold them in his mouth. Easy to find due to the colors. Quality is great as my toddler is constantly playing with them. They are soft, perfect size for a breastfed baby.

These are my baby's favorite pacifiers hands down! I love that the ring for the paci-clip is on the back so it doesn't get in the way of the paci itself. They are also extremely well-ventilated and are easy for my 4 month old to put in her own mouth. Will be giving these out at every baby shower from now on

I like that these paci’s are shaped like a nipple. I am a big fan of the tommee tippee natural shapd bottles and wanted to try these. We aren’t using them yet because the nipple is too big for my newborn. She has a small mouth and it chokes her. I will try again in a couple months. She is currently 5 weeks and it’s still too big. I love the vents on it though and that it came in a 4 pack. Fingers crossed that they will work for her in the future.

Great paci for breastfed baby. These are just about the only paci my baby will take (for almost Year now). He does seem to prefer the clear kind versus the lightweight colored ones but he will take both. I love that they don’t hold water or spit up anywhere in their design. They are a bit pricey for a paci but worth it if it makes baby happy so we will keep buying!

We really liked the concept of these but theyre just too dang long. My baby will want to take it but can't hold it in his mouth so I have to hold it for him. If the nipple could be shortened by 1/3 I think it'd be a great design.

These are literally so cute, I was a bit scared they would be big like the other ones but they’re perfect
