Gerber Soft Center Pacifiers
When you are trying to find the perfect pacifier for your baby, the advertisements and promotions that tell you how great each product is only go so far. Even the recommendation of your doctors or a free sample from the hospital, while good, are not going to be a sales pitch that will make you want to buy one particular kind of pacifier over another. There is only one recommendation that means anything when it comes to something as personal as the pacifier you give your infant to use between nursing times. That is the recommendation of the child herself that comes in the form of a pacifier that she loves.
Babies are nothing if not open about what they like and don't like. So when you set out to find a pacifier that your newborn will take to, the opinion of actual infants as reported by their most attentive audience, their moms, speaks louder than any television commercial or discount coupon you might get in the mail. In fact, whether or not your child accepts the pacifier you give her or more is more powerful than a large discount to try a pacifier or even a free sample. That is because even if you buy a pacifier at a discounted price, if the child spits it out or cries when you give it to her, you will have to throw it away which is wasted money.
The real "in the know" people about which pacifiers are most often the favorites of infants are the caregivers and mothers of babies that need to use the pacifier on a daily basis. You can learn more just sitting in the park or at a day care discussing the issues with people who depend on a pacifier to calm that child than you ever would learn reading a scholarly report about the space age design of the latest craze in pacifiers to his the market.
Only a few pacifiers pass the "baby test" consistently as reported by moms who know a good pacifier from one that ends up spat out on the floor. The one that very often becomes a favorite of infants everywhere is the soft center pacifier which is made by Gerber. At first glance, there isn’t anything unique about the soft center style pacifier. But the tip of the unit is not hollow like so many pacifiers. It is a soft bulb with a pliant center so that when the baby has it in her mouth, the pacifier gives her some substance for sucking.
This design in a pacifier is much closer to the experience baby has when nursing. In most cases, once a baby tries a soft center pacifier, they literally can "never go back" because the experience is so much more satisfying to the child then the traditional design. So why put yourself through a lot of aggravation trying pacifier after pacifier that don't work which not only frustrates mom, it upsets the baby. Go with a pacifier that works the first time so you can put this selection process to rest when you have a pacifier that works every time comforting your infant when she needs it.
