Craziest Thing I Saw This Week: Bling Pacifier
Ah, the binky. When you’re the sleep deprived parents of a 6 week old and the binky magically makes the crying stop, you believe the binky is the greatest invention in the history of ever. When you’re the mother of a 4 year old getting the stink-eye from the pediatric dentist over the shape of your binky-addicted kid’s palate, you think the binky is an evil demon that has taken possession of your child’s mouth, never to relinquish its nefarious hold.
Speaking from personal experience? Me? ::Ahem:: Perhaps.
In all my history as a binky-enabler mom, never have I seen anything quite like this.
It’s so…glam. Like what RuPaul would use if she needed a binky. A Liberace binky. A Lady Gaga binky.
A totally useless binky.
The Bling Pacifier from the Baby Bling Things Boutique comes with the following disclaimer:
*Baby Bling Things Boutique pacifiers are novelty items for decor only and not intended for actual use. Crystals and other decoration products may detach and pose a choking risk or may be hazardous if swallowed. Customer agrees that use of the service is entirely at customers own risk.*
So it looks like a binky, but really it’s a choking hazard. Awesome. And they can be yours for upwards of $40!
I guess if you want to use it to soothe a baby, you need to buy a dozen of them and create a mobile to hang over their crib.
What’s the craziest pregnancy or baby product you’ve seen this week?

I can’t stand those pacifiers that look like hillbilly teeth or vampire teeth or whatever. I can’t bear to make my baby look that ridiculous. Isn’t the drool enough to do that already?!
The craziest thing I saw this week, while registering for a few things we need for our second, was designer diaper bags that cost between $150 and $400. That bag is going to be carrying around more poop germs than you ever thought possible. And you just got ripped off.
oh no! i don’t like the teeth ones mentioned in the comment above but I LOVE the sparkly one! too bad they’re just for ‘decor’…i guess it would be cute on the bow of a baby shower gift, but besides that it seems kinda pointless.
Thanks. Please remind me not to use a Baby Bling Condom when I don’t want to get pregnant…
I actually love those binkys, just not the price tag:(
I think some are pretty cute, but if you can’t actually use them (since they are a hazard) then they’re stupid. Would it have really been all that much more effort to add a clear plastic coating over the bling so they could still be blinky but safe?
