Drooling while sucking on a pacifier

[sonofninasayers]

I don't know about anyone else but when sucking on your pacifier do you find yourself starting to drool a bit

[Nia]

I always wake up with a big wet spot on my pillow from drooling.

I droll all the time with or without a pacifier,or thumb my sister put on plastic pillow covers .

I always wake up with a big wet spot on my pillow from drooling.

I only drool when i'm sucking my pacifier. But I never do while I'm sucking my thumb

I have found I drool much less sucking a breast instead of a pacifier. Possibly due to the breast filling the mouth more.

there are times i drool on my pillow but there are other times where i wake up in the middle of the night becuase my mouth is as dry as the desert, lol i can't sleep with a paci in because it feels weird to me plus i only have the nuk 5 and the nuk 7 which is longer then the 5 but other than that it's the same. i prefer the 7 more but it needs to be bigger... not sure if i just have a big mouth or what, lol

I tend to droll a lot when sucking on pacifier, so often I wake up with a wet spot too. On other hand, sometimes I droll even without it and sometimes I wake up with dry mouth. I don't really know how it works

Pacifiers cause me some drooling. Thumb sucking not so much.

[Baby Sammy]

Whenever I'm suckling on mine and get carried away or in the spirit I always end up drooling and normally by that point it's all gibberish and cuddling with my mommy. It seems to be more of an on and off switch with me I suppose, pop it in and it's go time.

Yes has done for me

[SalsaQueen]

I think a guy drooling while sucking a pacifier is so adorable.

[widdlemikey]

Funny, paci has the opposite affect on me.

[Baby Brian]

I think I figured out why. You drool with a pacifier in because the pacifier isn't big enough. When you fall asleep and relax your mouth it opens a bit more than even a nuk5 and you drool. I have a larger (modified) adult sized pacifier and when I fall asleep with that one I don't drool. Using a smaller nuk5 I will drool- that is if it doesn't fall out first.

Where were you able to find a pacifier larger than a nuk5? That's what I've been using at night to prevent clenching my jaw while I'm sleeping, but it doesn't stay in very well. I'd be willing to go up a size or so, just not sure where to shop.

[Baby Brian]

I ordered mine years ago from a link that was on DPF. I don't even know if anyone modifies/makes pacifiers large enough for us any more, sorry.

[ucfguy475]

That's alright, I appreciate the info. I'll have to keep an eye out, see what I can find.

Update: I found that baby pants sells a product they describe as the equivalent of a nuk6, which is a larger size nipple and mouth guard. I put one on order, along with another of their great onezies.
