We spend the first few weeks trying to get them to take the pacifier, and the next few months trying to take it away  ;D

We would try to have it touch the roof of her mouth to remind her that it's there when we put it in. It took us a while, but we kept insisting she take to it.

It gets even more fun when they figure out how to take it out of their mouths, and then..."hey where did it go?!"  ::)

We're still not having much luck but will try gripe water. She will often suck it for a few seconds, spits it out and clamps her mouth shut!

Tickle her cheek to get her to open her mouth maybe. Or will she suck on your pinky finger then you can swap out?
Hugs Hun fx she takes it soon x

Big Hugs. I tried 10 different dummies & could never get her to take any of them - she would literally throw a newborn tantrum at me! she wasn't a constantly feeding/hungry kind of baby though, just a constantly unsettled wouldn't sleep kind of one  ::) My fingers & toes are still crossed for you, good luck.

Do you have the TT closer to nature range there? They are meant to be close to the nipple/breast with their bottles and I think also their pacis...or some people have more success with the cherry type pacis.

I think I was a bit of a paci pusher on my boys  :-[ neither wanted or but they had to have them YK? The mam ones are great though as they shape to the mouth.
