Question about pacifiers


Recommended Posts

I occasionally snore. It's not every night or all night, and I don't have sleep apnea so no need to talk about that. I read about some folks claiming to have success with using a pacifier to prevent it and got interested.

Hi. I used and still do occasionally use a dummy. I got 1 first a few years ago half for my abdl side and half because I sucked my thumb. I didn't use it every night maybe 3 or 4 times a week and it took ages to get properly use to. It could have been 6 months before I manged to keep it in all night although I'm sure that would vary between people. I've no experience of if it would help with snoring all I can say is it defiantly helped me stop thumb sucking. Ohh should prop mention mine is a nuk 5 although always thought a slightly bigger one would be better. Well hope it helps you and let us know how you get on :)

I don't use mine nightly. But it only took a couple weeks.

I bought a Nuk5 and a Nuk 7. When I ordered them I expected to use the 7 for overnight and the 5 for playtime during the day. What I've found is I like the fit of the 5 better and use it every night all night. I'm not keeping track of how many nights I've been using it or when i started this time because I think it's counterproductive. For my mouth the 5 fills the roof of my mouth perfectly and the bottom flat side is comfortable on my tongue. The 7 seems to push the raised part too far back in my mouth. It's not uncomfortable but I like the fit of the 5 better. I was able to sleep with a baby pacifier overnight after about a week or 2. Switching to the 5 and 7 was easy and I was able to sleep through the night most nights and wake up each time with it still comfortably seated. I have mine on a tether so when I wake up without it I can easily pull it right up and put it back into my mouth. I know I've snored in the past but I can't say for certain I don't snore with it in because I sleep alone. I can't see how it wouldn't work though. You have little to lose and it might just improve the quality of your life.

Hugs,

Freta

I been using my Nuk 5 every night for the past 4 or 5 years without any problems. It took about a week to get used to it so it did not fall out, my wife says I no longer snore but I always told her I never snored lol. It is now part of my every night routine along with my diapers.

It's been a little over a week and I think I'm starting to get used to it. It still is a bit distracting at times, but I have noticed that it is far less distracting than it was a week ago. A couple of times I have even felt like it wasn't even there, but only for a moment. And i have started to keep it in all night and find its still there when i wake up.

So... question for those who use pacifiers at night. How long did it take you to get used to it? Does it stay in all night?

Having been jealous of thumb-suckers and pacifier-users for as long as I can remember, I was always frustrated that when I sucked on a paci it wasn't "real"... I didn't "need" it. When the Nuk Medic Pro arrived, and I was finally living in my own flat, I set out (aged 30) to become a habitual pacifier-user. The first month I found it hard: I kept a note beside my bed, kept the paci on my beside table, and kept a record of using it. Some nights it was very hard to get to sleep. But after a month I noticed it was getting easier and it must have been around a month that I noticed I was longing for the moment I popped it in at night, and not taking it out first thing in the morning. Sometime in the second month I stopped recording usage and had that amazing feeling when I noticed I wasn't thinking about using it, I was just doing it by habit.

I then visited friends and forgot to take the paci with me, and discovered that I needed something in my mouth... and that was the first time I fell asleep sucking my thumb. That year I did go through a phase of using the paci in the daytime (I worked from home most of the time) and there were days at a time when I probably had the paci in 20+ hours a day. (the teats go white if you do this!). but I later moderated my usages back to night time only, and over the next 10 years I slept with either my dummy or my thumb in my mouth. It was a great habit to have - comforting, healthy, and every now and then I would get that lovely feeling of pride, knowing that I was what I always wanted to be... a real pacifier and thumb-sucker. I never had a problem keeping the paci in after the first month - I guess that was the breakthrough to getting really hooked.

It was only when my children were born that I broke the habit, and these days don't use the paci very often.
