I had always planned on using pacifiers with my first baby, but I didn't realize babies could have a pacifier preference.
I didn't know that I could have a nice little collection of pacifiers that my new little infant would refuse to take. I didn't know the hospital would try give my baby the same pacifier over and over and he would spit it out each time.
All in all, I didn't realize that pacifiers have different features and some appeal to babies much more than others!
For the first time in 55 years, NUK® is changing all nipples–both feeding and pacifier–to now feature the most advanced design that naturally fits baby's mouth for healthy oral development.
Pacifier coupons are hard to come by, so I'm excited to share that right now, you can get a printable coupon for $1 off NUK pacifiers when you take the Pacifier ABC Quiz!

How to Find the Best Pacifier for Baby:
- Learn about pacifier styles: A pacifier can be 100% silicone or it can be made of more than one piece. (check out the Nuk 100% silicone pacifier)
- Buy the right pacifier size for baby's age. There are pacifiers for ages from newborn up to toddler and plenty in between.
- Learn about pacifier nipple materials:
- Silicone: The most commonly-used material. It's easy to clean and less prone to retaining odors.
- Latex: softer and more flexible than silicone, many babies prefer the feel of latex.
- Try and try again! Baby may not like the first pacifier you choose. If baby won't take it the first time you try, don't give up on that one right away. Be sure to give it a few tries at different times of day and various amounts of time after feeding.

I never used a pacifier for any of my children, but I know everyone that does use them, uses NUK. It’s THE brand for pacis.

My kids were never huge on pacifiers. I probably just didn’t shop around enough.

My second daughter is the only one who used a pacifier and Nuk was a brand of choice and the one she favored for sure! Having the right pacifier makes all the difference in the world!

My first son used Nuk but my second would never take a pacifier. I do love the brand and the options they create for every baby.

All five of my boys have used Nuk. Joseph is now using the paci and sippy cups, I love their fun affordable options.
