Good update and additionLet me start by saying that Nuk pacifiers are the only brand my daughter will use. Even off brand orthopedic pacifiers wont work. I was worried when I learned Nuk was changing their pacifiers, but my little girl took these no problem. The faceplate seems to cut into her face less than the old ones and the nipple is slimmer. I also noticed less water getting in the nipple with washing. The glow in the dark feature is nice and works well for pacifier hunting at night. The designs are cute! I am especially happy with the carrying/sanitizing case. This makes cleaning a breeze. I'd definitely recommend these to fellow parents.

Lifesaver!I am absolutely in love with the Nuke orthopedic pacifier well, maybe not me but my grandson is, and when he is satisfied we all are. I was struggling to find a pacifier that he would take to. The moment I put it in his mouth he instantly took to it the first 5 Seconds. I received this product free for review to give my honest opinion about it. The pacifier is perfect for his mouth it has a slight curve in it which I think makes a very big difference since he did not get the opportunity nurse from his mother this pacifier seems to simulate comfort for him. The outer fits perfectly under his nose and is adorable. While cleaning the pacifier I did notice that water does get inside. But I just let them dry overnight and they are back to being perfect. Highly recommended!

PerfectMy baby loves this binky! I just wish our Walmart carried the other styles. The only one they have is the green one... My daughter only likes this size of a binky! We have to be very careful not to lose it ;)

Cute design. But need to get more sanitary nipplesMy mom bought my son a pack of these for Christmas. I liked them at first, it’s now about a month later, and stuff seems to be trapped inside the nipple. Never had this happen before. If this wouldn’t of happened I would definitely recommend.

Only pacifier for my small baby's mouth!My little girl was 6 pounds, 3 ounces when we brought her home from the hospital. The small design of this pacifier is exactly what she likes. In addition to the nipple being small, the plastic part is not bulky and does not shove into her nostril area like other pacifiers seem to do. I love the pastel colors for her too. She is bottle fed and loves this pacifier!

Use to love themI am the parent of nano preemies that will only take these pacifiers and it’s pretty sad that they are not sealed properly so they are growing. I cannot afford for my twins to end up sick from these where we are going into RSV season and they are already immune compromised.

Baby is a fanI received free samples of the Nuk Genius Boy sz 1. Unfortunately, my child was way too young to sample the product but he is finally of age now. I find that it works well and he really likes using the product. He took to it as soon as I provided for him and he generally does not like pacifiers. One thing I would suggest is to have something that would prevent the baby from dropping it. Maybe a clip on piece that can safely be pinned on the babies clothing.

A great beginning!I bought this before our son was born and he was ready to use it after a couple of days after he came home from the hospital. I bought it because it was a brand that I could trust and it was a great size for newborns. I thought it would be great for him because it seemed comfortable right away when he was born, he was 7 lbs and 3 oz. and it fit him perfectly. It didn't cause impressions on his face and it was comfortable even while sleeping. It especially didn't bother his nose. It really helped soothe him when he needed it during those first few months. I enjoy all the new prints as well. I sterilize it often and it is durable. It didn't show signs of wear and I rotated it with about 4 other pacifiers. I really liked it. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again!
