Benefits of a Pacifier: How to Choose the Right One

Why a pacifier?

During the first five months, babies have a strong natural need to suck. Sucking helps stimulate milk production and provides your baby with comfort and security. A pacifier meets this natural need to suck and soothes your little one whenever they need it.

Pacifier or thumb-sucking? Here are the differences.

More hygienic and gentler on teeth
A pacifier is easy to clean. In addition, well-designed pacifiers, such as our Natural and Dental pacifiers, may be gentler on your baby’s teeth than thumb-sucking.

Easier to Wean Off
A pacifier helps your baby fall asleep peacefully. You can gradually reduce its use, and saying goodbye to a pacifier is often easier than stopping thumb-sucking.
