Pacifier Clips
Parents love their babies. There is no doubt that generally speaking this is a true statement. But that doesn’t mean that the things a baby does will not aggravate mom and dad every so often. And one of the things that babies seem to do without ever losing patience is to throw things to the ground. There is something about throwing the spoon out of the high chair, the colors off of the table of finding the hymnal in church and throwing it to the floor during worship that entertains an infant like nothing else.
This love of throwing things about is perfectly suited to how a new born or toddler will handle her pacifier. Because the pacifier is in the child's mouth when in use, the need of it could come up suddenly and go away just as quickly. So if that pacifier is buried in the bottom of the baby bag when the need is immediate, you have some frustrating moments listening to her cry as you hunt it up.
Just as frustrating though is when the baby suddenly decides the pacifier is no longer needed. The little one does not simply remove the pacifier from her mouth and hold it out politely to mom to put away in its appropriate spot. Instead, the infant commonly spits it out sometimes when mom isn’t looking. So if you are enjoying a leisurely walk through the park and suddenly realize the pacifier is not in the baby's mouth, it could be anywhere along the trail laying on the pavement, in some dog refuse or picked up by a curious animal and carried off and buried by now.
There is a solution to this vexing problem and it comes in the form of a simple pacifier clip. These handy items attach at one end to the pacifier through a hole in the shield. Then the other end is clipped to the child's shirt or to the crib or baby carriage. This one inexpensive item can save mom and dad endless frustration constantly looking for the pacifier. By clipping it to the child or to the baby carriage before an outing, it never gets too far away from the baby. When the need is immediate for the pacifier, there it is. But when baby looses interest and spits it out, the clip slings the pacifier to a secure place so it is never far away.
As the child grows, she will learn to count on that clip as much as mom and dad do. By knowing where that pacifier is at all times, the baby will eventually learn to find it herself rather than bother mom with a complaint. That is the kind of self sufficiency you like to see in an infant. And that clip makes such moments of calm problem resolution possible when dealing with a child who likes nothing more than to throw or spit something to the ground. The clip makes sure hat never happens to the baby's important pacifier so it is always there when she needs it.
