My daughter uses a pacifier and has liked binky's by playtex. Come to find out, the "gel" filling is BEEF TALLOW!!! GROSS!!! Needless to say, we are going out to get hollow Nuk's this very day!

The thought of my precious angel sucking on beef parts makes me want to hurl.

Did you all know this???? I hadn't a clue....

No, I didn't know this. Yuck! Our daughter was never into pacifiers, which was nice because we didn't have to break her of the habit. :)

My girl got into binky's while she was in the NICU, and has had one ever since. She is growing out of them, slowly.

She has her new NUK for this evening. Threw the old Binky's in the trash...still can't believe what they are filled with...

Ewww Ewww Ewww!!!!

That is disgusting!! It's like the big industries love to hids animal products in everything...get them hooked early I guess...GEESH! DS never took a pacifier...guess that's cause I never offered one, but chalk this up to another reason not to!

I would have had no idea. I am lucky because my son never took them. He was a constant nurser till 3 months and always had refused a bottle of ebm and binkies. I almost cried when I had to throw out a freezer full of expired frozen breast milk. Next time I will wait to be sure baby takes a bottle before pumping!

Thanks so much for sharing this info with us. That is beyond gross. VM

Truly disgusting; thanks for the info. (I have to admit, I am always suspicious of gels...)
