Product Information

Plastic-free, non-toxic and made from soft and 100% natural rubber, the Hevea Orthodontic Newborn Pacifier has been hygienically designed to be used from the moment the baby enters the world, up to three months old. Moulded in one piece, with sensitive gums and growing teeth in mind, it promises not to irritate delicate mouths. Some parents use a dummy in the first six months because they've heard it may help to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) (The Lullaby Trust 2016, Joyner et al 2017). It's unclear exactly how a dummy helps reduce the risk of SIDS, and experts are still divided on the issue, so more research is needed to be sure (NHS 2015, Psaila et al 2017). Psaila K, Foster JP, Pulbrook N, et al. 2017. Infant pacifiers for reduction in risk of sudden infant death syndrome. Cochrane Database Syst Rev (4):CD011147. www.cochranelibrary.com Opens a new window [Accessed May 2018] The longer your baby uses a dummy, the more likely it is to change the way his teeth grow. This can result in an overbite or crossbite, where the top and bottom teeth don't meet properly (Lubbe and ten Ham-Baloyi 2017). You may notice this if your child uses his dummy beyond two or three years of age (Nelson 2012, Sexton and Natale 2009). The worst effects are usually seen in children who use a dummy for four years or more (Sexton and Natale 2009).

The cherry-like shape of the Bibs Colour Soother (Size 1) dummy is known to help support breastfed babies during their first months of life. Made from natural rubber, the dummy is designed to stay in a baby’s mouth, which is particularly beneficial in the early stages when a baby is just learning how to use a dummy. Bisphenol S (BPS) is similar to BPA. It is used in the production of plastic containers and can also be found in food and beverage can linings and various paper products. It appears to have the same health risks as BPA, with concerns about its influence on the hormone balance of infants and small children, which is why all Medela Baby dummies are free of BPS and BPA.For any other breastfeeding concerns, consult your midwife, health visitor or one of the UK’s helplines, such as the National Breastfeeding Helpline or La Leche League. Will using a dummy affect my baby’s teeth and mouth shape? My baby loves these kinds of dummys. Won't have any other brand or type. They are cheap and easy to find in any shop but I love all of the different colours and designs you can get. He currently loves his green one best but he also has a blue one. Read more Some parents couldn't get through the day without giving their baby a dummy, whereas other parents strongly disapprove of their use. You may decide you definitely won't use one, but change your mind when faced with your crying baby (Joyner et al 2017, NHS 2016). What sort of dummy or soother is best?It may be a question of trial and error before you find a dummy that your baby will accept. Some babies refuse to take a dummy at all (Joyner et al 2017).

Lovely dummies my little one loves them. Always soothes her and helps her sleep when she has one in her mouth, really nice shape and not too big for her mouth. Great dummies for a good price. Read more Limiting the amount of time your baby uses his dummy will guard against ear problems. If you only let him use it to settle himself to sleep, it can make a big difference to the number of ear infections your baby gets (Sexton and Natale 2009). Before using a brand-new dummy for the first time, it should be boiled in hot water. Following this initial clean, and for the first six months, a newborn dummy should be sterilised every day, or whenever it has dropped on the floor, sofa or a less-than-sanitary surface. In fact, it’s recommended that you sterilise the dummies of babies under a month old before every use. By the time most babies reach six months (have put almost everything in sight in their mouths), they will have met with many pathogens. At this point, it’s fine to just wash their dummy with soap and water.We used these dummy’s pretty much from birth (yes I gave in that early, I needed sleep). They worked perfectly, my little boy took to them straight away and found comfort with them instantly.
