The Difrax pacifier comes in five different sizes, ranging from newborn to 20+ months. The pacifier offers comfort and safety for any age. The size of the shield and the sucking part of the pacifier vary according to the age category. The sucking part becomes more solid as the ages increase, so it stays in proportion with the developing jaw strength of your child. The shield also becomes bigger, so it matches your child’s face.

As soon as your baby starts to bite on the pacifier, we recommend stopping the use of a pacifier and switching to a teething ring or teething toy.

Difrax has three sorts of pacifiers. The Natural, Dental and the Dynamic pacifier. The sucking section of the Natural pacifier and Dynamic pacifier has a flat base, while the end of the silicone sucking section is round and oval. We call this symmetrical. This means that the pacifier is readily accepted, especially by breast-feeding children. The pacifier is also suitable for children who like to rotate the pacifier in their mouth. This pacifier is exactly the same each way up.

Dental
The teat on the Difrax Dental pacifier also has a flat base and the end of the teat has one flat side that provides the tongue with a better grip when sucking. The Dental pacifier stimulates the development of the palate and the tongue and jaw muscles. The rounded part of the teat lies against the palate, and the flat part presses on the tongue. Good for children who need this, or for those who reject the Natural pacifier shape.

Dynamic and Natural
The Dynamic pacifier has an oval end, just like the Difrax Natural pacifier. What makes the Dynamic pacifier different is the material, which consists of different silicone layers with small silicone balls on top. The mobility of the silicone layers promotes your baby’s natural sucking rhythm. The silicone balls on the sucking part imitate the mother’s nipple, which is why the Dynamic pacifier is perfect for breast-fed children.

Every child has their own pacifier preference, and all three types are equally responsible. Depending on what your child prefers you can use either a Natural, Dental or the Dynamic pacifier. Unsure what your child prefers? We then advise choosing the Natural or Dynamic variant in the first instance.
