 Cool concept June 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The wubbanub is a pretty cool concept. I had been looking all over for ideas to help my son keep his pacifier in his mouth when I came across the wubbanub. It sounded great, so I ordered one, and was thrilled when it came in. My son first got the soothie pacifier while in the hospital, and for a while that was the only one he would even take, though we've recently gotten him to take others also, so I didn't think anything of this one. I think the wubbanub would work great for younger babies, but I didn't get mine until my son was 2 months old. By that time I think he squirms so much while trying to go to sleep that it doesn't do any good. I also think that if the stuffed animals were of beanbag weight, they would stay a little better. For a brand new baby, I think this is a great idea, for a baby a little older don't waste your money.

I got this as a "push gift" for my wife, but given that our baby is as stubborn as I am, I gave it to her as a small mothers day gift. She loves it. I can't give much of a review on how the baby enjoys it as she's not gonna be here till wednesday, but we're sure she'll love it...
My son loves his froggy! February 14, 2008

My son loves this pacifier! He is four months old and is learning how to grab the frog, not just the pacifier part. It soothes him! He was given the soothies pacifier in the NICU, and I just never bought him any other brand, so when I saw this, I thought it was so cute! I can even put it in the sanitizer. The only thing that I don't like is that you can't take the pacifier off. It is sewn on. Other than that, it is great and I would recommend it.
 The best pacifier ever! January 30, 2008

My son was given his froggy in the NICU where he stayed for 9 days after birth because he was 3 wks early and having feeding issues. The froggy kept him company at night when we weren't there and it stayed in his mouth easier because he could hold it and has become his best friend. He is 9 months old now and he still loves his froggy and hugs it and strokes it when he is sleepy and keeps him company in his bed at night. I recommend this to any mom. To the mom who thinks it is gross: I wash mine in hot water in the gentle cycle of the washer and I haven't had any problems. I have the doggy as a back up but the froggy is his favorite. I highly recommend!

These little wubbanub's looked like the perfect answer for my three month old - who was constantly losing his binky ALL DAY LONG. I thought it would help him learn to put it back in as well as be weighty enough to lay on his chest in just the right spot - so if he fell asleep he could pop it back in himself. And - believe it or not - it did all those things. HOWEVER - my son totally hated the pacifier. We had been using every brand of binkies, so I figured what's another new brand? Right? WRONG! We had used nuks, playtex, avent, etc. All with no problem but the "soothie" pacifier attached to this wubbanub is HUGE. I am not kidding. Not just huge on the outside plastered on your little one's face...but huge like a giant long nipple too! Coupled with the fact it was ugly as sin it made for hilarity at starbucks one day when all the other mommies watched in horror as I proudly pulled out my new fancy wubba to give to my little one and he proceeded to choke like a bulimic after thanksgiving. AND, the poor little dude kept giving it the old college try because he wanted the sucker and I let him because I forgot back up. I just kept praying he'd make it work. It was all very sad. Long story much shorter I sent my hubby to babies r' us to pick up as many small stuffed animals as he could find. That weekend I bought velcro and we created our own wubanubs. Here are 3 major benifits to making your own:
1) you can detach the pacifier and wash it for REAL. As well as wash the buddy it is attached too! Unlike the wubba. IMPORTANT - The wubbanub DOES NOT come apart ( very gross and stupid)
2) you can use whatever brand of pacifier your little one enjoys, a major plus if you actually want this whole "learn your paci is attached to a frog thing" to work.
and
3) Compared to the ugly things my little macgyvered knock offs look amazing. AND THAT should tell you something about how hideous these actually are. (Seriously, I am far from ambitious. I don't scrapbook, paint, or even cook anything that requires anything more then buttons on the microwave - so if you do - yours will probably be even more fantastically superior to these little nightmares)
I have to say one nice thing though. It truly is a great idea. BUT a better idea is to just make your own.
