We&#8217;ve being trying since we brought him home from the hospital. That stupid thing is the only type of pacifier approved by Luke. I even got a couple different ones made by the same company and he acts like we are giving him rotten peas (which I can only imagine would be much worse than regular peas &#8211; I really, really don&#8217;t like peas) and spits them out immediately.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0pediatrician insists that when forced to choose between no pacifier at all or a different style that Luke will go for a new pacifier.
