Like many things baby-related, choosing a dummy/pacifer is not a one-size-fits-all solution. However, choosing what material* your baby’s dummy is made from does matter 🩷
Natural rubber teats are the best choice because they are soft, elastic, and resilient, closely resembling a mother’s breast more than other materials. Unlike regular dummies that are made from silicone and plastic, natural rubber dummies don’t contain any:
🌿 BPA
🌿 Chemical softeners
🌿 Parabens
🌿 PVC, or
🌿 Phthalates
Our top brand recommendations are:
👶🏻 @bibs_australia: Danish brand manufactured in Denmark
👶🏻 @naturalrubbersoother: Australian owned and made in Malaysia
👶🏻 @cubandbearco: Australian owned and made in Malaysia
It is important to note that regardless of material, your baby’s dummy should be replaced every 4-6 weeks for both safety and hygiene reasons 🫶🏻
