Silicone Pacifier or Rubber Pacifier?

Pacifiers are produced from two materials: silicone and rubber. Natural Rubber, also known as Latex, is obtained from the sap of some tropical plants. Medical Grade Silicone is obtained by polymerizing silica sand, which is the raw material of glass. Rubber pacifiers have high water absorption. It is extremely sensitive to external factors such as heat and light. For this reason, they deform quickly, absorb odors and change colour. They need to be changed frequently. However, their elastic structure makes rubber pacifiers particularly resistant to tooth impacts, so they are especially suitable for use in babies with teeth. Silicone pacifiers, on the other hand, are very difficult to deform due to their low water absorption and heat and light resistance. They are anti-allergic and have no taste or odor. They can be used safely from the newborn period onwards.

Why Only Single Size Pacifier?

Flat-tipped orthodontic pacifiers are sized differently to ensure that the pacifier tip fits snugly on the baby's palate. However, this requirement is eliminated with cherry-tipped anatomical pacifiers such as MinikOiOi Basics-Soother. Thanks to its symmetrical structure, even if the pacifier is sucked upside down, the tip of the pacifier fits into the baby's mouth in the same way and palate development is not negatively affected. On the other hand, just as the mother's nipple remains fixed while the baby is breastfed, there is no need for the nipple to grow in order to maintain continuity and harmony.

*For baby’s palate health, it is recommended to reduce pacifier use by the age of 2 and stop it until the age of 4.
