Maggie Simpson certainly made the pacifier her fashion accessory of choice, so too can your baby become noted for his binkie. These cute pacifiers will either bring a chuckle or an "ahhh" as it soothes your little one.
1. Wubbanub
Wubbanub pacifiers are essentially a SoothieTM Pacifier attached to a soft plush animal. Besides being cute, the manufacturers state that the added weight of the animal helps keep the pacifier positioned near to baby's mouth. SoothieTM Pacifiers are becoming more and more popular with hospitals and pediatricians because of their one-piece design and because they won't leave phantom marks on the baby's face after an intense period of sucking. Styles available may include:
- Brown bear
- Red dog
- Tabby kitten
- Yellow duck
- Pink pony
- Blue pony
- Long horn bull
- Green frog
- Elephant
- Giraffe
- And various "limited edition" styles

Billy Bob Pacifiers are little bit punk combined with a little bit hick. No doubt these pacifiers will put your baby at the center of attention.
