Philips Avent Soothie Snuggle Pacifier

Every parent knows the 3am pacifier hunt. Baby spits it out, screams, and you're fumbling around the crib in the dark trying to find this tiny piece of silicone. The Soothie Snuggle solves this by attaching the same Soothie pacifier that hospitals use to a small, soft plush animal. The plush gives baby something to hold onto, which means they're more likely to keep the pacifier near their face and (eventually) learn to pop it back in themselves. The pacifier detaches from the plush with a simple loop for cleaning, which is smart because you'll be washing and sterilizing the pacifier part constantly. The plush itself is small enough to be safe in the crib according to the manufacturer, though we always followed our pediatrician's advice on that. Our daughter latched onto her Soothie Snuggle elephant and it became her comfort object alongside the pacifier. Having the familiar plush attached seemed to help her accept the pacifier more readily. We bought three in case one got lost, and sure enough, we rotated through all of them.
