How long do you use a pacifier for every day?

[sillygirl]

Just thought of this random question and I thought I’d post it : )

I use my pacifier for probably 4 or 5 hours a day

 

[Mikochi]

I use mine daily, but not for a very long time, maybe 1 - 2 hours total. I also use it at night, but that's while sleeping so it doesn't count in your poll ^^

It all depends on my day, as I am now past retirement age and work as a part time casual.

Today (Friday 3rd May 2024) was a day off work. Last night I slept soundly (in my usual onesie and a nappy) with my pacifier (dummy for me as I'm Australian) in my mouth all night, awoke up this morning and went on ADISC (of course) and then got ready to go out for lunch.

That meant that my dummy (sorry pacifier) did not come out of my mouth until 11am, so it was in (not counting the few minutes sucking my baby bottle), all last night and almost haft this morning.
Well over 12 hours at least.

And some may say that I'm addicted.

Back when everybody was wearing masks all day, I had the pacifier more than 8 hours. All day, all night. Nowadays, it's a home time only. I work in a barn and it would get impossibly dirty. I do wear a dust mask all day, but it's not roomy enough to accommodate my pacifier, he doesn't really fit right either and kind of pinches my nose shut so, it just doesn't work. Otherwise, I'd have it all day

Oh yeah. That was the only good part about covid. And not having to talk to anyone

Probably 2-3 hours. I use mine while working from home, provided I'm alone. It's my oral fidget toy, basically. Usually I don't noticed myself sucking on it, but every once in a while I'll find myself focusing on the rhythmic sucking noises and I have to laugh. It is a pretty weird habit (to say nothing of the diapers).

I use it mostly for sleep. Normally I insert my paci when I fall to the bed, but in the morning I frequently struggle with taking it out, which can be 1-3 hours, depending if I need to go to work or not.

Today I'm sick. I have one in all the day, but mostly I'm sleeping.

All night (I only use it at night), although I truthfully have no idea for how long it's actually in my mouth lol. I generally wake up with it next to me on the pillow or somewhere on my bed, I must literally 'spit my dummy out' in my sleep at some point. It's there when I go to sleep lol, that's all I know!

I am addicted to my pacifier, Lol.
I sleep little every night, diaper, toddler PJs or onesie, pacifier and my bunny. Bunny minds me.
I even wake up with it still in my mouth in the mornings.
On days when I'm not at work I will use it all day as well.
I know that sounds like a lot but I have always been a very regressive AB since I was 4.

I am little inside and I'm happy for who I am.
So yep this baby boy uses his pacifier all the time and loves it.

Just at night.

Cute, who made it?

Cute, who made it?

ODU (Onesies Down Under) ordered just before last Christmas for about $70 AUD plus about $30 shipping costs. (I live in Australia).
It was an end of year present to myself.
AUD = Australian Dollar (= about 65 cents USA).
Thanks for asking and for the compliment, @Seasonedcitizen

I prefer my thumb so when I occasionally use a pacifier it is for only a little while.

 

[littlemoosey]

If I use it too much my jaw will hurt. So I only use it 1-2 hours on occasion when I am napping.

 

[BabyCyclist]

Probably about 3 hrs or so. When not in littlespace, pacifiers are good tool to use when you feel listless. Idk why, but lying in bed and sucking on a paci feels so comfortable even when I am not in littlespace

 

[WOLFPUBBY]

I honestly chew on mine more than anything, but since I've gotten my smaller Nuk pacifier, I can fiddle with it for like, an hour or two without hardly noticing.. It's nice

 

[sillygirl]

I am addicted to my pacifier

I think I am too
