Baby Pacifier

Natural Rubber Pacifier with Sculpted Nipple, 0-6 mos
Product Description
In high demand by environmentally conscious parents. Pure caoutchouc (rubber) is a sustainable raw material, produced from collected tree sap of the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). After the tree sap (known as latex) is harvested, proteins are isolated and discarded, and the remaining pure rubber is dried and preserved. Its protective shield is soft and flat, allowing the muscles of the mouth and the lips to have freedom of movement and thus encouraging muscle activity and development. The shield is larger than conventional pacifier shields in order to prevent the baby from squeezing the flexible material enough to fit into its mouth. The shield will also not leave marks on the baby's face. Three large ventilation apertures (two on the shield and one under the nipple) help prevent skin irritation caused by prolonged contact with saliva. The nipple is soft and malleable. As a result, the tongue has plenty of room for movement. Since the pacifiers are molded in one piece, the nipple and the shield are connected securely, thus preventing the pacifier from falling apart. The grip ring is soft and comfortable for the baby during tummy time. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Must be sterilized before first use by boiling for several minutes. To be washed carefully after every use under running water - should be sterilized for babies younger than six months of age. Not to be placed in dishwasher. Is likely to change color due to exposure to light. Should be replaced every 4-6 weeks. SUAVINEX is Spain's leading manufacturer of childcare products.

Best pacifier on the market!
My baby LOVES this pacifier. We started off with Gerber Nuk, but after seeing this one I thought I'd give it a try. Now my baby won't even take the Nuk.

We are starting the slow process of weaning him from pacifier... currently we just give it to him at bed/nap time, even though we have other pacifiers around the house, since they aren't THIS paci he just ignores them.

The only negative is that they turn brown after a short time... and they bounce, so when they fall on the floor it can be hard to find them.

Great Pacifier
My 6 month old loves this pacifier. She latched onto it right away, and since pacifiers have been a godsend at soothing her and helping her fall asleep, we use it quite a bit and I am so happy to have found one that is made of natural rubber.

Healthy and Awesome
I found this pacifier while looking for BPA-free alternative. I worried my son would miss his familiar paci, but he took to this right away and seems even more serene with this one! So, not only is it better for him, he also loves it (and unlike the Born Free pacifiers, this one has a loop for a attaching the paci to clothes or car seat + softer!)

The pacifier you can buy!!!
These are the best pacifiers to sooth your infant. Regular pacifiers are less like a human nipple and more like a bottle nipple. The soothie is the closest to a womans nipple and reduces the chances of nipple confusion. Give it time though because your child may not take to it right away. It took my daughter a couple weeks before she really took to it. It helps when it comes to soothing a child to sleep.

great paci
i love these pacifiers--and more importantly so does the baby. Just be careful if you have pets; they love them too.

Acceptable choice for a breastfed baby!
These were recommended by my IBCLC (lactation consultant)and Speech Language Pathologist (dealing with infant feeding issues) for my breastfed infant. I really liked the pink/purple colors. Although said infant is now refusing anything but the breast.
