Post Partum nurse here! Last night, I was in the middle of helping a mom change her baby when I grabbed pacifier and placed it in mouth. Not the nipple end but the back end. I have a 7 month old and I'm just so used to holding his pacifier in my mouth as I change him, dress him etc. I was so embarrassed!!!! I immediately washed my mouth with Listerine and brushed with toothpaste. Not worried about catching anything but it was ban icky thing to do. The mom and had visitor said nothing. I was still embarrassed. My co-coworkers got a good laugh !
