I put the babys soother in my mouth to hang on to it earlier today...

And I found it kind of soothing to suck on

i totally have been munching on one off and on while im sitting here, just because it seems to get rid of my nervous energy. And if anyone asks I can just tell them I am holding it for the baby and pretend to have my hands full LOL

haha! i dont know which is cuter Bowzz.. the image of the baby sleeping peacefully in your arms, or you, 'enjoying' J's pacifier... : )

Lol thanks guys And yanno, even if it looks ridiculous, who cares right? It has some benefit obviously if it makes me feel better in some way, and its pretty darn harmless.

Though I didn't entirely take away his soother, I got one of the other ones. That way we both have one. Now picture that - the baby sleeping in my arms and us both with a paci.

:P

works well for me

I never could get past the taste! eeewwww

My youngest was quite attached to his (he had several). If I tried putting one in my mouth, even if he had one, he'd take mine away, take out the one he had and stick the one he took away from me in HIS mouth. It got to be a game. LOLOL

PS Don't get addicted to it! Kids do, you know!

it has an additional benefit Ive noticed. When i get nervous, I have a SIish habit of chewing the little bumps off my tounge until its raw/bleeding and sore...with the paci I can chew on it instead, thereby saving my tounge.

It's definitely much better than smoking or excessive eating when you are nervous.....sounds like a really good idea to me. It's also much healthier than putting a lot of icky anti-anxiety meds in our body also (even when you aren't nursing).

I think you found new anti-anxiety tool....maybe those of us with high level of anxiety should give it a try.
