Re: Few questions of my own....

[Guest guest]

1) I usually use a 6Fr 36 " feeding tube.

2) I wish I could give you a good one, but my old stand-by's have all been

recalled. (the round, bulbous, gel or saline filled, binky was my favorite).

Nothing scientific at all here to back that up, by the way!

They looked like this, except clear. I have many mom's who prefer the ones that

are rubber and look like this though:

I know the " orthodontic " is preferred by some, though it can cause thrush b/c of

the micro pores... the Soothie has come up too, but there are some differences

between that and the Gumdrop... also the gumdrop has horrible advertising on

their website -total code violations all over the place, pictures of happy

babies using them, nothing on the site about breastfeeding, buy this, get 1

pacifier free etc etc... I don't feel good telling a mom about them...

pacifier whether we say it's a good idea or not... which one do you prefer?
