3 A.M. Thoughts from a Sleep-Deprived Parent (And the Baby Hack I Wish I Knew Sooner)
Tired of your baby’s pacifier constantly falling out at night? Discover how the Ingy Bingy Band, a soft pacifier wristband, can save your sleep and sanity.
By Emily Rogers
It’s 3 A.M.
The room is dark, the baby is crying, and I’m blindly patting around the crib for that tiny little thing that always seems to disappear at the worst possible moment, the pacifier.
If you’re a new parent, you know exactly what I mean. The newborn pacifier was working like magic just a few hours ago… until it slipped out for the fifteenth time and vanished into the void. You’re exhausted, your eyes are barely open, and suddenly you’re on a midnight scavenger hunt under the crib.
Sound familiar?
When my infant’s pacifier kept falling out, it felt like a cruel joke. I tried a million different “solutions," from regular pacifier clips that dangled awkwardly, to tucking extras into every pocket of my robe. But nothing worked well… until I discovered a simple, genius baby hack: the Ingy Bingy Band.
The Pacifier Wristband You Didn’t Know You Needed
The Ingy Bingy Band is a soft, stretchy pacifier wristband that gently velcros around your baby’s wrist, keeping the pacifier close without any hard clips or awkward straps. Think of it as a pacifier bracelet for babies who spit, fling, and drop like it's their job (because let’s be honest, it kind of is).
And the best part? No more crawling on the floor at 3 A.M. praying the paci didn’t roll under the dresser.
Why This Is Better Than a Traditional Pacifier Clip
Sure, pacifier clips are a classic. But when your infant pacifier keeps falling out, a long dangling strap can become more of a hazard than a help. The Ingy Bingy Band keeps it simple, no clips, no metal parts, just a comfy, secure fit that keeps the pacifier right where baby can find it (and where you don’t have to).
Plus, it works with every infant pacifier on the market. Whether you’re team silicone or orthodontic, this band fits snugly and safely.
Sleep-Deprived Me Approves
If I could go back and hand my new-parent self one thing, it would be this. The Ingy Bingy Band gave us longer stretches of sleep, less frustration, and more peace of mind. No more losing the paci in the car seat. No more wiping it off five times a day. And no more crying (from me or the baby) when it rolled under the crib for the hundredth time.
Honestly, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference in those early weeks.
Try the Ingy Bingy Band. Your future 3 A.M. self will thank you.
