Gumdrop Pacifiers By Amy Curtis on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
These are the pacifiers my son was given when he was born at the hospital. They are a one piece pacifier that is competely covered in silicone so it is very comfy for them to suck. It has the same nipple shape at the popular soothie brand minus the akward round shield the sooties have. They have a more natural shield shape that doesn't interefere with a babies natural sucking pattern. These pacifiers are perfect for mothers and babies who breast feed because unlike some pacifiers they force the top lip up and out which is how they need to have their lips to latch on and nurse effectivley. My son only took his gumdrop pacifier for the first 5 months of his life because they were so much easier to keep in his mouth than the other brands.
The only downside I can say to these pacifiers is that they are not yet sold in stores. They must be either used at the hospital your little one is born at (they will give them to you for free) or you have to be ordered online. It is really a small inconveince though for such and awesome pacifier.

I may have to try these on the baby that REFUSES ALL PACI'S. Thanks! :D
We've always purchased others than what the hospital gave us. I'm glad these worked great for you.
Interesting product. It is too bad that they are not in stores as I agree with the importance of using a pacifier that will not interfere with the nursing is the mom is going to nurse and a pacifier is needed.
Mine did not embrace this brand as they slipped out of the lips easier than the other brand.
Where I live the hospitals wont give the babies suckies.
Wow. That is great. I did not know they made a pacifier for breast fed babies :0) BTW that picture is toooo cute!
I'm surprised they don't sell these in the stores, they sound great! Especially if they already teach the little one how to breast feed, or at least how their lips should be. And look at your little one, soooo cute!
I don't think I have heard of these. I hope they sell them in stores eventually. This seems like a really great pacifier!
