My son and daughter both used/use the Gerber latex soft center pacis. Unfortunately, my baby daughter was born about the time that they were discontinued. Not knowing this, I bought a couple of packs since my son loved them so much. The predicament- we have lost all but one now, and the one she does have is worn out. I found some of the Gerber latex online, but when they came in, the nipple wasn't the same- smaller and not as soft. Needless to say, my baby won't have any part of it!
In doing some research, several other moms in my predicament bought the Natursutten rounded bulb tipped, rubber pacis. They said that their babies loved them. Have any other moms used them that could offer an opinion? What can you tell me about the different sizes? My baby is 11 mos now, and her current Gerber paci has quite a large bulb. I am wondering if I should go with the 12 mos + size? They are quite expensive, and I am reluctant to buy them, just to have her hate them. But on the other hand, I am getting pretty desperate. Thanks!
Well, the Natursutten paci was a complete bust. I give up. LOL
This might seem weird, but I have a barely used Natursutten that you can have for free. I live in Asheville NC, so if you'll just pay the mailing cost, which shouldn't be much, I'll mail it to you tomorrow. I think mine is a 0-6 month size. I tried to get my daughter to take a paci, but she was not interested. So she had it in her mouth maybe twice. Let me know if you're interested .
At 11 months old I wouldn't even bother buying more pacifiers I'd wean her off of the one she has.
Oh, shoot I was just going to share a link from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Center-Latex-Rubber-Pacifier...
but I just re-read this and you have already tried the online route. Sorry about your situation there. I guess if it were me I would just switch at some point here soon and just realize it might take some time for her to adjust to a new paci. :( GL!
They are expensive, and you can only use them for a short period of time. (My son really hated them, also) The instructions say to replace them every 4-5 weeks! We had great luck with Gumdrop pacifiers. (I don't know the brand, but babies r us carries them.)
