Funny pacifiers are popular for photo ops and family gatherings, but they can also bring a little levity to frustrating times when your baby has been fussy.
Novel Pacifiers
You can buy an ordinary pacifier or you can purchase a novelty pacifier to add just a touch of fun to the everyday parenting routine. After all, not every day goes off without a hitch, without the fussy times or events where it's difficult to give your baby the undivided attention he or she is looking for. Pacifiers are used for just these sorts of events, and if you're going to use a pacifier, why not have fun with it? You can find so many fun ideas on the market today that you're sure to come up with a few different pacifiers to suit your sense of humor.
For example, have you seen the mood pacifier? This is a new pacifier fashioned after the mood rings of the 1980s. A stone at the center of the mood pacifier changes color as the baby sucks. The different colors are said to represent the baby's mood. Green is good. Go green!

Pacifiers are used to calm crying babies and at the same time give parents a break from the tension that arises when a baby is fussy. A funny pacifier can actually help to lighten a mom or dad's mood when their little one finally calms down. To look into the face of your baby and see a set of Billy Bob chompers or a mute button might just give you a lift mentally. Levity aside, not everyone agrees on pacifier usage, and it's a good idea not to overuse them. If or when you do choose a pacifier, however, funny or not, it is important that you buy a quality pacifier that's safe.
