Pacified

The Happiest Baby on the Block recommends sucking as a way to help calm a crying baby. Unfortunately for us, Scarlett has never been a fan of pacifiers.  She will suck on my little finger until it's pruned, but will very dramatically spit out any pacifier that's put into her mouth.  That is, until I found the Soothie.  The Soothie's nipple is shaped more like a bottle nipple.  And it has no taste.  I've tried them all and the others taste like rubber.  Scarlett still prefers sucking on a finger or an actual nipple, but she'll take the Soothie for a little while which gives me a bit of a break.  Sometimes she sucks so hard and I know she's waiting for milk to come out.  Too bad I'm not the Electric Grandmother.  That would be cool.
