Nookums Paci-Plushies Shakies - Pacifier Holder with Built in Rattle (2 in 1)- Adapts to Name Brand Pacifiers, Suitable for All Ages, Plush Toy Includes Detachable Pacifier (Jaspie The Giraffe)

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.

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.

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!

This little lobster is too adorable! I bought this in hopes to get my 16 month off his soothie and on to an orthodontic pacifier as recommended by our pediatrician. When used with an orthodontic pacifier it gives the same feel as the beloved “wubbanub” however those only come with the 0-3 month soothie. One of the other moms said she heard of someone’s child biting through the 0-3 month soothie in their crib. So far only my Siberian husky has been able to do this. I also saw you can get a modified wubbanub on Etsy but my Son doesn’t like the 3+ month soothie as it’s a lot harder. So I used the Nookums with a MAM pacifier and it works great. It hasn’t come off or anything. The only thing is the wubbanub soothie stays upright when the child grabs and can easily pick up and put in his mouth in the dark. This one is a little floppy so it requires a bit more skill as you can’t just grab it by the stuffed animal part you really have to grab the pacifier directly. I was impressed with the quality of this item it felt solid and will hold up to the wear and tear of a toddler. So far we’re still trying to get him off the soothie that may be the toddler equivalent of giving up smoking. We’ll keep trying!

The pack-plushie is so soft and very cute. It is very versatile as it has a ring that is interchangeable with different pacifiers. It is small enough for the little fingers to be able to hold on to it. The quality of this product is that it is well made with no small parts that can be pulled off. The seams are nicely sewn. The only negative I had was when I ordered it, it said I would receive the next day but didn’t receive until after the baby shower.

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.

This is the second plushie that I have purchased. My daughter had one about 3 years ago that was the little tiny purple hippo and it was precious and perfect and she loved it. My son was not interested in that hippo so I thought I'd give a different animal a shot. The fox seems to have done the trick. We have been weaning from breastfeeding and he needed a lovey that he could hold while he falls asleep. I really love that I can attach any pacifier to this product and I love that I can find his pacifier (and now he can find his pacifier) at night if it falls out of his mouth. Now I'm just going to have to keep track of this and make sure I don't lose it because he depends on it for sleep. Overall great product would purchase again. One more thing! It does have a small rattle inside of it so if you don't want that maybe look for a different product. I have found that these last for a long time and you can wash them easily and the rattle is not loud enough to bother me or my children.

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!

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.
