I had to deal with this same situation when my daughter was about 5 months old. By that age she picked her favorite 'passy' and it was the only one on the face of the planet. It was a 6-9 mo. Playtex butterfly style that must have been discontinued. I couldn't find that size anywhere, they had smaller ones everywhere, but being born at 9lbs. 5oz. and 16 lbs. at three months (first intro to said passy) she wouldn't take the smaller ones.
We were sitting on the porch one day at my moms, and she dropped it, so my mom stuck it in her mouth to 'wash' it off and the thing grew in her mouth!! The nipple had worn and part of it split to allow the inner softer area to expand in my moms mouth!! Needless to say, we couldn't give it back to her, and she wouldn't take anything else, so we clipped it!! took the top 1/4 (where the damage was) and cut it right off! They say is't a good way to wean them from a passy, so I tried it! She never took it again, and could have cared less we didn't have a replacement, I was shocked! Never had to deal with a mad fussy baby about it....ya never know until you try!
Our second girl never even got interested, and the one that's in the oven (I know I have said this way to many times today while posting..haha) probibly won't have one either!!
I'm glad you found what you were looking for though! I just had to share! And always check babys' passy every once in a while and make sure it doesn't 'blowup' in your mouth while sucking!!
edit: silly spelling!
