Whether you call them a pacifier, dummy or soother, we know that pacifiers make life a whole lot calmer for new parents. A must-have for the early months, pacifiers are ideal for soothing a baby, providing comfort through sucking.
There are many benefits to using a pacifier, with the most obvious being that it calms and soothes the baby and often helps them to fall asleep. It also helps lower the heart rate, blood pressure and stress levels, while also having a pain-relieving effect.
BIBS is a trusted pacifier brand for many Australian mums, with pacifiers manufactured in Denmark, and made from the best materials completely free from BPA, PVC, and phthalates. With over 200 different styles, BIBS has something for every baby, in a range of different colours.
Most importantly, BIBS know when it comes to pacifiers’ nipples no size or shape is right or wrong. Babies have different preferences, different sucking techniques, and different mouth anatomy. Therefore, they offer different pacifiers that meet all these different needs.
It can be necessary to try out different shapes and sizes to find the perfect fit for your child. Some babies prefer a certain nipple shape, size, or material while others do not have any preferences and will take whatever shape, size, and material you offer. If your baby doesn’t take to one particular shape, it’s advised that you try another to see if they prefer a different shape.
The BIBS Try-it Colour range of pacifiers now comes in three different shapes:
The round nipple resembles the shape and size of the mother’s soft nipple and promotes a similar tongue placement and sucking technique as when breastfeeding since the round shape allows the sides of the tongue to elevate and cup around the nipple.
BIBS pacifiers with a symmetrical flat-drop-shaped nipple, accommodate babies who prefer the flat symmetrical nipple shape. The drop-shaped nipple promotes a tongue placement and sucking technique where the tongue is flat and presses the pacifier flat against the palate, which means that the baby does not need to suck as hard, as with a round nipple, for the pacifier to flatten inside the mouth.
The third nipple type is the anatomical nipple which is curved at the top for a natural fit to the baby’s palate with an angled tip for easy tongue placement. The curved top promotes a tongue placement and sucking technique where the sides of the tongue cup around the nipple, as it, does during breastfeeding. The angled tip means that the baby does not need to suck as hard, as with a round nipple, for the pacifier to flatten inside the mouth.
Taking these considerations into account, prioritising the baby’s comfort and offering a wide range of styles, BIBS Try-it Colour range emerges as a trusted and favoured choice for mothers across Australia. What’s more, BIBS has been honoured as the best dummy in Australia by Canstar!
