Which material is best?

• Silicone teats

We have been a fan of silicone for a while. The material is sturdy, safe and hardly ever causes allergic reactions. Silicone can feel a bit stiff to begin with, but this also ensures that the silicone baby pacifier lasts longer and doesn’t tear as easily.

• Rubber (latex) teats

Natural rubber often gives a softer and more natural mouth feel. This makes rubber pacifiers suppler, but less colorfast and wear resistant. It is a good idea to replace latex pacifiers every month. Natural rubber is often biodegradable, however.

Attention: Does your baby get skin irritation after using a latex pacifier? He might have a latex allergy. In that case, it is best to switch to a silicone pacifier.

Which shape is best?

• Round teats

A round teat is more easily accepted by babies that are still being breastfed. The shape most resembles the nipple, which also reduces the risk of the so-called nipple-dummy confusion.

• Orthodontic teats

Some dentists and doctors swear by orthodontic teats, but according to the Dutch Child & Family Agency, it is not the teat that causes dental deformations, but the sucking motion itself. The shape of the teat has nothing to do with it. This means that giving your child an orthodontic teat has no effect on reducing the risk of having to wear braces later.

The shape of the pacifier does not affect speech and language development, but the duration of use does. If your child uses a pacifier for too long, it has negative effects on the development of tongue, lip and chewing muscles, which in turn has a negative impact on teeth, speech and language. So make sure to give the pacifier only during the first few months and during naps. Do not use it too often to soothe your baby.
