OK, you would think that by #4 I would have this figured out! But there are just more and more choices! What kind of binkies are you using? There are just so many choices! And there was a kind of wet wipes that I loved when Kenz was a newborn, they were so soft...now I can't remember what they were...maybe the sensitive ones...agghhh!

I bought those big, round, flat green ones...I think they are called Soothies. Then I bought some Nuks because they were pretty. I'm hoping she takes to the Nuks.

As for wipes, as a baby (and still even now) I had very sensitive skin. So I bought Huggies Hypoallergenic, no fragance wipes to start off with. Once she's here, I'll try out different kinds.

Hope you figure out what works for you!

I bought couple different kinds of binks. Ian was a NUK baby, so I got some of those. Then I also got some Soothies thinking it may be more like the breast and maybe help with BFing this time.

Also, I really like the Pampers wipes (Target's are just the same and cheaper) as they are super soft! I think they've changed them recently because I don't remember them being as soft when I first started using them with DS.

I bought a pack of NUKs b/c both of my boys liked them, although the hospital I'm going to uses the gumdrop pacifiers...I might try those this time around.

Those are a great choice...they used to only be available at the hospital (til just a couple of years ago- if even that long!) and I've seen many babies take to them with ease. I plan on getting some of these myself and also the NUK brand...these 2 choices seem to be pretty popular! If I go to FF then I am going to try the NUK style bottles this time around so that's mostly why I chose the pacis as well.

As for wipes I have used the hypoallergenic Huggies brand since Derek was little because he was sensitive to the fragrance ones. I went right to the fragrance free ones with Sam and will just do the same this time as well. Anytime I have tried to use a different brand of wipes there has been something that I didn't like about them...probably just me but since I am only like that with a few things I tend to stick to those few things that I like brand-wise.

I am finding that between my last baby and this one there are so many new things out there (updated baby items mostly) that I suppose I don't need to replace- but I want to! ...And a couple of the things I am going to replace just because it's my last and I'll never get to do it again...

Carson was my only paci baby. He only liked the nuk with the yellow soft nipple though.

I got the soothies as well. At the hospital I work at they are the only ones we use. The babies usually love them! I got them in pink since she is a girl, makes them a little cuter!

DD never used a pacifier, and I am hoping this one doesn't either. I'm gonna have to figure out what wipes I like again too, because the ones I used with DD aren't sold anymore!! UGH...
