Wubbanub Infant Pacifier - Giraffe

As parents, we quickly realized the near-constant struggle of pacifier maintenance: dropped, lost under the crib, or ejected from the bassinet within moments of settling. The Wubbanub Giraffe is, simply put, a brilliantly engineered solution to this common, low-stakes parental crisis. The integration of the hospital-grade pacifier with the generously sized, weighted plush giraffe is its genius. The slight weight of the animal provides just enough counter-leverage to keep the pacifier from rolling too far or being entirely lost to the abyss of the crib mattress. More importantly, it gives the baby a substantial, tactile grip that facilitates early self-soothing. Our little one quickly learned to locate the large, brightly colored giraffe and maneuver the pacifier back into place long before developing the necessary fine motor skills to manage a plain pacifier and clip system. Beyond its functional utility, the giraffe itself is adorable, serves as an excellent visual cue, and has become a cherished "lovey" and transitional object as our child navigates new sleep environments. It holds up impeccably to frequent washing (a non-negotiable feature for infant items) and the integrated design is far safer and less cumbersome than fiddling with external chains or clips. For the value it provides in reducing frustration—both for the baby and the sleep-deprived parent—this product earns my highest recommendation. It is a thoughtful design that addresses a critical need in early infancy.

I thought these wubbanubs were absolutely adorable the first time I saw them. I bought this one for my daughter before she was born. She ended up never really using pacifiers, but she did snuggle the giraffe on this and it went everywhere with us. It brought her comfort.

I loved that my baby can hug the small stuffed animal and tuck the pacifier. She loved it. It is machine washable and as soon as you take it out, it does not really need to be dried as it is dried already and is ready to be used. I thought it was a bigger giraffe and was disappointed at first to see it so tiny, but I believe it is the appropriate size for an infant not to choke on. It is a pricey ($13-$14 ea.). Wish it was half price, and wish I could replace pacifiers on the stuffed animal, but can not, since it is sewed with stitches to the giraffe. BabyHaven is really professional and nice. When I received other regular Soothie pacifiers in damaged boxes, they offered to send me replacements for free. Hoping to receive them soon by mail. ---------------------------------------- Edited April 8, 2013: I now have an Amazon Prime Membership with my Amazon Mom membership, I receive everything in 2 days and can return items with no hassle. Back when I bought the Wubbanub and Avent Soothie Pacifiers from BabyHaven, I thought they proposed to send me free pacifiers to replace the damaged packages I received but they did not and wanted me to pay for the return shipping rate. They said since product is not damage it is my responsibility. They tucked 6 Avent soothie pacifiers and 3 wubbanub pacifiers in one small bubbly envelop!!! The Avent Soothie's package was ruined but they did not care. They were not so professional what so ever. We are treated better when we get the Prime Membership as we deal with Amazon directly versus with the seller. Packaging is better, as they send in a boxes even small ones versus in an envelop that gets ur package damaged from shipping. Would still recommend the product though. My daughter stopped taking the pacifier around 4 months, but she loves to play with the tiny stuffed animal and chew on it sometimes :) So cute!

Firstly, This Pacifier has a round end on it. So if your baby is not used to this type of pacifier, they might Not like this one. It is Permanently attached to the stuffed animal, it does not detach for cleaning! The stuffed animal is lightweight, stuffed with cotton. I like the Wubbanub because it is Easy to Find, no more going crazy trying to find the small pacifier! Even very young infants can grasp at the animal pacifier, it is amazing to watch them, holding onto the Wubbanub, thusly holding onto the pacifier! Somehow it keeps the pacifier in babys mouth, especially while baby is lying down. At night it is invaluable for a parents good nights sleep; if your baby loves the pacifier! I've found the perfect way to keep the pacifier clean, just buy the pacifier wipes and use them to keep it clean and sanitized. This Giraffe is Loved so much that one stays home and one is even kept in the diaper bag, heaven forbid we loose one! I really like the Giraffe because it is so easy for little hands to hold onto so many of the little legs. This Wubbanub should be looked over occasionally, just to make sure there are no holes or stuffing coming out, this is Not a Teething Toy!, remember it is, just a pacifier with an attached stuffed animal! .

Our baby’s absolute favorite! Such a fun, cute little animal with pacifier attachment. Love that it is both a stuffed animal and a pacifier to comfort the baby, very versatile. Our daughter had hers from birth until the age of three and now our son has his as a baby, they are very durable and last a very long time, even after being washed and utilize daily. My only complaint is I wish at the pacifier came in different colors. Perfect for babies through toddler age! Makes a cute gift for a new baby as well!

I am a new mom and I wasn't sure I would want/use a pacifier. I also didn't know the difference in pacifiers when we bought this but I quickly learned a week after our baby was born (received several different versions of pacifiers as shower gifts including the clips for the clothes etc). We had to go get pictures at the hospital and we left this at home. The hospital gave us the pacifier part and as soon as it was in the baby's mouth, it would pop right out and onto the floor (couldn't feed the baby and needed a soother). With the WubbaNub, it never goes far if it comes out, and the baby can help keep it in place. It has never landed on the floor from accidentally coming out of the baby's mouth. Our baby holds on to the plush part and loves to grab the legs (6 weeks old) which usually keeps it in place. He has also figured out how to put it back in his mouth if it comes out. The size makes it almost impossible to lose (unless you put it in that "special" place you won't forget where it is, and then you forget). This giraffe lies flat when it is in the babies mouth putting it in the right position. These are also easily washed and sanitized too. We carry this everywhere and use it during fussy diaper changes.

No really. If there is one thing that was worth every penny and probably a lot more, it's the WubbaNub. At first it seems crazy to pay $12-15 for a single pacifier but we have 4 of these and nothing has gotten more use for the dollar. The carrier, the swing, the jumper, soothing seahorse, white noise machine, the bouncer - none of these have given our daughter (and us) as much comfort and they all cost a lot more. It seems like such a simple concept but it really is revolutionary. Our daughter was not a thumbsucker or a pacifier fan for the first 4 months of her life until out of desperation for better sleep and for her to self-soothe I tried this (giraffe was our first) based on the good reviews. We regret we didn't get it sooner! It seems like such a simple concept but it really is revolutionary. It's a soother and a lovie wrapped into one easy to transport package. When she was a lot younger, it stayed in her mouth so much better than a normal paci. And no more running into the nursery at all hours to help retrieve a lost paci. She can find it and replace it herself. Her Wub has gotten her through scary shots, repeated ear infections, ear tube surgery, nebulizer treatments, doctor visits, and the transition to daycare. It was the only thing that gave her any comfort during one particularly horrible diaper rash. She is 13 months old now and loves her Wubs as much as ever but now they are for naps and bedtime only. She naps 2-4 hours a day and sleeps 12 hours a night with no intervention from us. She is still nursing so it never interfered with that. Washing the WubbaNub is really easy. We throw it in a lingerie bag and wash with the rest of her clothes. It air dries very quickly. In between washes, of course you can just wash the paci portion with soap and water. I would not let concerns about cleaning deter anyone. This has become our go-to shower gift. Not every baby is a paci baby, and ours wasn't until she had her Wub. I'd give this 10 stars if I could.

So, when i saw this product i loved it! but i knew that my 3 month old baby would hate the pacifier part. the only paci she ever takes is the NAM kind because they have bigger bulbs at the end for her to suck on. Also, other pacifiers are shaped too similarly to her milk bottles and she gets mad that milk doesn't come out of them. I also wasn't thrilled that you had to wash the paci with the toy. So being a crafty mom, i knew i could fix this so she would like it. I got it in the mail yesterday and as i predicted she just spit it out. so i took my seam ripper and got the pacifier off easily without hurting the toy. then i took one of the holders for the nam which come apart and there is a hole at the end where the tie for the clip goes through - it was the perfect size for the hole i had made. a few stitches and viola! popped the pacifier in the holder (i also like that it can spin around in the holder) and we were good to go. she had been crying for about 15 mins, i put it in her mouth, showed her how she could grab on to it and she was sleeping within minutes. she has fallen asleep with it 4 times since then. so, like i said - i loved the idea of this product but had to make it "work" for me. just an idea for some of you other crafty moms (or dads) out there ;)

This is the best Soother I've ever used for my kids, and its only one that works for them.

意外とはやかったので、良かったです！ 商品も問題がなく、キレイでした！ ありがとうございます

可愛くて、一目惚れして買っちゃいました♪*. 子供も気に入ってます♪*.

高すぎるのにチュッチュ部分が取り替えられるかと思ったら縫ってあって外せない！ありえない！不衛生だし替えのチュッチュ買った意味ない最悪です。

It is really soft and my gr. granddaughter seems to like it.
