Chuponing.
That’s our contribution to the spanglish language. A chupon is a pacifier, so chuponing is just sucking on the pacifier, as in “Isa was in my arms chuponing, beginning to drift off to sleep.”
Plus, chuponing is a lot easier on the tongue than pacifieriendo.

Love it! I’ll try to remember it the next time I see a nino with a chupon.
It’s such a relief to see someone freely expressing themselves in Spanglish. My daughter is taking Spanish II in high school, and can’t stand it when I massacre the language. (I call it Fauxspanol.) I speak French, English and HTML, so my Spanish is el stinko.
Take care!

You used to do that before it was fashionable.
