But can't keep a paci in. So I'm either nursing him. Or standing next to him to put the paci back in his mouth.
My 3 and 1.5 yr old are not happy about this. Neither am I. Any ideas?

It takes training to keep the pacifier in. You need to hold the baby and hold the pacifier in his mouth for him until he gets the hang of it. A few minutes here and there for the next two-three days is very worth it. Some babies are very oral and need to suck. It isn't about hunger.

You can try giving your baby a different brand pacifier that may be easier for baby to keep in mouth. Another thing is the wubbanub. The stuffed animal weighs down and keeps pacifier in place, and makes it easier to find! I really like the wubbanub- it's a green hospital pacifier attached to a stuffed animal.

If you don't like that pacifier there are stuffed animals that have a clip to attach pacifier of your choice.

The only paci he likes (I've tried several) is the hospital soothie. I do t like the wubanub because how to sterilize it?
Any ideas for teaching him to keep the paci in?
