Tommee Tippee binkies- buyer beware
Just want to let y’all know an incident that happened with my almost two year old that left my heart a little bruised.
We have the silicone binkies that have a little hole where you would normally hold the binky with your fingers.
The other night my daughter was tossing and turning in her crib for a good 30 min and woke up twice, said ouch and went back to sleep. The third time she did that I went in to check on her thinking she was getting her molars and her gums hurt. I probably asked her over ten times “does your mouth hurt?”, “where does it hurt? Show mommy”, but she was half asleep and didn’t respond. I again chalked it up to it being gum pain, and went to grab the kids ibuprofen from her closet. When I laid her down on the changing table to dose the meds, she said ouch again and lifted her hand. I had my phone flashlight on, so I was finally able to see that the binky was very tightly stuck at the base of her pointer finger, cutting off circulation to her poor tiny little finger and it was completely white and swollen. My heart dropped and I tried to gently take it off, but she started screaming like I was amputating her whole arm, so I quickly yanked it off. Poor girl was hysterical. After a minute she calmed down and I rocked her back to sleep.
I don’t know if this happened to anyone else, but I never thought in my life that a binky could cut off my poor babies finger circulation like that, but it can. Thank God I saw it and it wasn’t like that all night.
