Wubbanub

This is Duncan's Wubbanub.
It makes him very happy.
This is the only way he will stay asleep, in someones arms.

Have you ever heard of a wubbanub? These things are so cool. Duncan was given a ducky wubbanub in the hospital. We brought it home and had it here for a week before one of the dogs got it. Angus ate the binky off the end of it. These little things are very handy. They are small stuffed animals attached to the end of these binkys. This is the only type of binky that Duncan will take. I freaked out when Angus ate his. I went and looked on line to find where you buy these. They aren't cheep and you can't just buy them at any store. We had to go to Scottsdale for his eye appointment and luckily I found a place on that side of town that sells them. What makes them so special? Well, for preemies and actually all babies they are good for coordination. The stuffed animal allows the baby to hold on to the binky better. It also helps them focus their eyes. All I know is that Duncan likes them. I was just going to fix his ducky, but you have to be very careful, because they are made so that no spit or moisture gets behind the animals mouth allowing for bacteria to grow. I decided that it wouldn't be a good idea.

Glad you found a binky! It is scary to start the night without one. Glad you are feeling better.

I've never heard of the wubbanub, but it's fun to say!

How are you doing post surgery?! I keep waiting for an update.

How much longer does Duncan stay on the oxygen?
