Nookums Paci-Plushies Buddies - Alligator Pacifier Holder - Adapts to Name Brand Pacifiers, Suitable for All Ages, Plush Toy Includes Detachable Pacifier

Nookums are so awesome. When my son got another popular brand of pacifier with lovey attached I was happy to see that it was easier for him to keep his pacifier in his mouth. My biggest gripe was that I couldn’t sterilize it or clean the plushy easily. Then I found these. With an detachable pacifier it makes it easy to clean, sterilize the pacifier or even switch it out for the brand your baby prefers. Still helps keep the pacifier where it belongs and makes it easier to find when dropped. It’s soft and our son loves to grab onto the lion now that he’s better able to grasp it. There may not be as many options for lovies as another brand but there are still cute options and I feel like the benefits of Nookums outweigh the few things like more plush options. Plus, they cost less and are still soft and really well made. I would love it if they came out with more- we have the elephant and the lion so far.

I love this for my two month old daughter. It arrived in time as promised, which was a pleasant surprise because mail takes long getting to my complex for some reason. When I first opened the package, I thought this looked like a McDonald's happy meal toy and I was pissed that I paid what I did for it. I washed it by hand and when it was dry I attached a Mam pacifier, and my daughter instantly cuddled it. She is a touchy baby, always using her hands and grabbing her clothes or blankets if nobody's hand is available to hold, so I was right in guessing this would be great for her. She knows that it is connected to her paci too, she is able to be more independent already, at 2 months, using it to get her paci back in her mouth when it pops out as long as it doesn't go too far. I have literally seen her learn and practice hand eye coordination right before my eyes with this. She sometimes maneuvers the paci into her mouth using the crook of her elbow when she is hugging it tightly. It also really helps us keep track of the pacifier, as I'm sure you parents know and agree, they get lost within precious seconds sometimes! I haven't tried the pacifier it came with yet; she does so well with the Mam that we use I haven't felt the need to try it. I would definitely buy again! Very cute, lightweight, easy to hand wash and hang dry, easy to get the pacifier in and out (at least for Mam pacifiers it is). I can't see how this would work with an Avent "soothie" pacifier at all though. I anticipate I will buy another once baby learns how to use her hands more and is reaching for her elephant more often. Other reviewers mentioned the strange angle of the pacifier because of how it is attached to the elephant's trunk, but it is not a problem for us; it is just a slight sideways angle.

My baby loves this! Not only is it super cute, but the softer binkie which made it so easy to use. I love how safe they are and i can let my baby test the durability / play with it/ hold and get used to it! I love that there are so many color options and animal choices!

We were a big fan of the other big name brand of pacifier plushie BUT the pacifiers would get holes and were not replacable, such a waste. And then we realized how bad the round pacifiers were for teeth if your baby gets hooked and uses a pacifier longer than a few months but the orthodontic pacifiers didn’t come in a plushie. Until this! This is awesome. The soft plush is sturdy. The pacifier that comes with it is great for small babies (though my toddler still loves it, it’s just not great for their teeth). But it is easily removable to replace with a more orthodontic one later or with a replacement (easily available for order on amazon) one if it gets a hole. This also means you can easily toss the pacifier in the dishwasher (or sanitizer) and the plush in the washing machine. Why do I love plushie on our pacifiers? It holds the pacifier in the mouth of your newborn. Your 4 month old can hold the pacifier in their mouth themselves as they snuggle the plush. You can more easily find a pacifier lost in a crib. It keeps the pacifier from falling down small cracks. It keeps the pacifier from falling under their bottom in the car seat. It makes the pacifier easy to find in the diaper bag. In other words this product can help you keep your sanity from being lost. And really that’s all we can ask as a parent sometimes.

I bought a nookums, wubbanub, and razbuddy (razbaby plushie) and this one is the clear winner. Pros and cons of each below: Nookums: pros- perfect size for baby to hold, definitely comparable to Wubbanub in softness and size Interchangeable paci holder on mouth works great, haven't had any issues with the rubber piece not holding onto NUK orthodontic paci cons- doesn't have the weighted feet like razbaby or wubbanub so it falls off baby's chest anytime she barely moves Razbuddy (Razbaby) paci plush: Pros- softest and cuddliest of the 3 Cons- velcro doesn't hold paci's well and it's just a tad smaller than the others making it a smidge harder for baby to hold Wubbanub: Pros- cutest of the bunch, weighted feet help plushie to stay on baby's tummy so she can grab onto it when she wakes up if she lets go when she is sleeping and it's the perfect size for her to hold onto Cons- can't change paci type as it's sewn into the mouth so if baby doesn't like avent paci's (mine doesn't) it's useless. Also makes it harder to clean because of the fact that it's sewn in

I bought this pacifier when my daughter was first born and I solely looked for holders that held the MAM brand and nub top-type binkies. I wasn't too sure what to expect, but we loved this pacifier holder. Some of things that made it fantastic when she was newborn were the following: 1. It was smaller than some of the others on the market and it allowed me to tuck the arms/legs just under her shoulder straps on her newborn car seat belt to keep it from slipping out of her mouth while we were on the go without compromising her correct strap adjustment. 2. It held the nub-type pacifiers and ring-type as well. 3. The pacifiers, unlike other models, could be removed while I washed the continual kiddie yuk off this unit. 4. It was extremely soft and cuddly. When she was older, it was nice to see these highlights: 5. It washed well every time, even the most disgusting things came off of it. 6. It dried very quickly, even on low temp. 7. She adored this thing and it was small enough to tuck in a daysack or backpack for emergencies. 8. It fit all her binkies as she grew in size and they changed in type with the soft universal silicone attachment. Overall, it was a great addition to our family and we actually bought 2 more for friends expecting little ones!

This is too cute. Very soft and huggable. Small enough for my Baby to snuggle up with but big enough to spot from a distance when she decides to hide her comforter (which she does ALL the time!!!) She's at the year and a half mark exactly and is going through a hiding everything phase so of course she'll hide the comforters and then cry cuz she can't remember where she put them. Sigh. So we bought this in the hope that we would be able to spot it at a distance and so far it does the job. She just has to warm up to it I guess. So it's a gradual process where I leave one comforter "loose" and one attached to the elephant. So hopefully she'll only want the elephant when she realizes that she can't find the one she lost. Lol. Overall it's adorable. Has no hard parts not it so u don't have enough to worry about baby rolling and crying in pain. No choking hazard fear either. This product is completely safe and baby friendly. It's a must have. *UPDATE* Two days after I brought home the elephant.... she's warming up to her. :D (Anyhow who wouldn't right? She's too cute to hate!) Purchased on the 13 of August 2016. The last pis are the most recent one. It's December and the two of them are inseparable. Amd we've never lost a pacifier since!

Overview: The Nookums Turtle is the perfect size for resting on the baby's chest in a swing, carseat, bouncer etc to keep a pacifier in place. We have used it with a Soothie and a MAM and it works equally well with both. The turtle has a little rattle inside that makes a pleasant sound. Pros: The toy is cute and does help keep the pacifier in place. The silicone attachment is very easy to take on and off and pacifiers can be cleaned much easier than a Wubbanub. Pacifier is less likely to get lost. Cons: This is true for any pacifier stuffed animal toy I think, but once the baby is grasping objects sometimes the toy can be a liability and baby pulls out the pacifier by grabbing the stuffed animal. I don't use it when I'm holding the baby upright and I don't think it will be useful once the baby is sitting alone because the weight will probably pull the pacifier out. I don't let the baby sleep in a crib with it just because I don' trust that somehow it could be a danger for the same reason you aren't supposed to have other stuffed toys in the crib. Would I recommend: Yes, particularly for ages birth - 4/5 months.

Llego en poco tiempo, los chupones de esta marca son de muy buena calidad. El peluche se ve más bonito en las fotos, llegó un poco aplastado pero es bonito y cumple con la función.
