Why Every Mom Needs an Ingy Bingy Band This Winter (Especially During Sick Season)
Winter sick season + babies = chaos. Here’s why the Ingy Bingy Band, a pacifier wristband, is a must have for stress free outings, clean pacifiers, and peace of mind.n
By Emily Rogers
Winter with a baby is no joke.
The holidays are magical and cozy and full of twinkle lights, but once you add a baby to the mix, the whole vibe shifts to “cute festive chaos.”
Because winter = sick season. And sick season with a baby turns us all into full mama bear mode.
You know exactly what I mean. You take your newborn to one story time and boom, someone coughs directly into the air and suddenly your week is ruined. And don’t even get me started on people touching your baby’s hands and face. Zero boundaries. Absolutely none.
But you know what adds 10x more stress than all of that combined?
The constant pacifier drops. The infant pacifier keeps falling out. The newborn pacifier hits the floor. The backup pacifier rolls under something gross. And you’re left wiping it with a baby wipe and praying it’s “clean enough.”
Winter outings with a baby can get stressful FAST.
The Real Problem: The Pacifier Drop Disaster
If you’ve ever bundled up your baby, strapped them into the car seat, layered them like a tiny marshmallow, only for the pacifier to get yeeted into the void the moment you arrive somewhere?
Welcome to the club.
I have had COUNTLESS moments where my baby chucks the infant pacifier straight onto the floor in public, grocery stores, church, Target, restaurants. You name it.
And during sick season? It hits different. Because suddenly pacifier drops feel like germ bombs.
You start doing that stressful mom math:
“Do I wipe it?”
“Do I rinse it?”
“Do I just grab a new one?”
“Will this give them RSV?”
“Am I being dramatic?”
“No, actually, I’m not.”
It’s exhausting.
And washing pacifiers in winter sinks with freezing water? Not the holiday magic I was hoping for.
Enter: The Ingy Bingy Band
(aka: Your new winter sanity saver)
This tiny little invention solves the exact problem every mom has: the infant pacifier keeps falling out constantly. The ingy bingy band is a pacifier wristband that keeps the pacifier attached to your baby’s wrist so they can’t drop it, throw it, lose it, or launch it across the room.
It’s honestly genius. Like, why didn’t someone do this sooner?
Why the Ingy Bingy Band Is a Winter Must-Have
1. No more dropped pacifiers
If your infant pacifier keeps falling out, especially when you're out and about, this solves it instantly. The pacifier stays attached to the wristband. No more bending down in public places to pick up a dirty paci.
2. Helps reduce germ exposure
Winter germs are brutal. A pacifier wristband keeps the pacifier from hitting the floor at stores, church, holiday gatherings, and every other place where people seem to cough freely.
Less dropping = fewer germs = fewer sick days.
3. Better than a traditional pacifier clip in winter
Pacifier clips get buried under coats. They snag on car seat straps. They twist and tangle.
And somehow babies still rip them off. The ingy bingy band sits on the wrist, always accessible, never tangled, never buried under winter layers.
4. Babies can find it themselves
When babies are overstimulated, overtired, or meeting 47 relatives at Christmas dinner, being able to self-soothe quickly is a lifesaver. Since the pacifier is literally attached to them, they can bring it back to their mouth easily.
5. One less thing to stress about
Winter with a baby is already full of mental load: coats, hats, diaper changes, RSV fears, holiday events, germs everywhere. Anything that removes even ONE stressor is a gift.
Why I Prefer the Ingy Bingy Band Over Any Pacifier Clip
Pacifier clips are so cute. I'm a sucker for those trendy boho ones, but once I tried the Ingy Bingy Band, I was never going back.
Because you know what? In winter, they are a nightmare. The pacifier clip gets stuck under blankets. Jammed under coats. Twisted around car seat straps. Lost under layers.
The pacifier wristband doesn’t do that. It stays put. It stays clean. It stays accessible. And the infant pacifier keeps falling out way less because baby can’t launch it.
