Finding the right pacifier for your babyParenting is a great journey. But this journey can also be stressful for new parents who are unsure about which products are the best for their baby. We are here to guide you every step of the way.From birth babies have a natural sucking reflex. It is not only a vital reflex for the babyto get food but sucking also has a calming effect on the baby, reminding the baby of something safe and familiar in an otherwise foreign world. Sucking both lowers the heart rate, blood pressure, and stress levels and it even has a pain-relieving effect. Because of the calming effect sucking entails, a pacifier can make it easier for the baby to sleep, soothe the baby if it is distraught, and provide security when being upset.When it comes to the nipple no size or shape is right or wrong because all babies are different. 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. Babies have different preferences, different sucking techniques, and different mouth anatomy. Therefore, we offer different pacifiers that meet all these different needs.In the following pages, we will guide you through our different pacifiers and give our best advice regarding nipple shape, size, and material.

BIBS Colour - Round nipple

Our Colour pacifier is the original BIBS pacifier and has been on the market since 1978. It has the signature round BIBS shield with three vent holes and round BIBS engraved handle ring.

The nipple on our Colour pacifier is a round nipple that resembles the shape and size of the mother’s nipple to provide comfort to your baby. Further, the round nipple promotes a similar tongue placement and sucking technique when breastfeeding, since the round shape allows the sides of the tongue to elevate and cup around the nipple, just like it does during breastfeeding.

The nipple is equipped with a valve, letting out air when the baby closes down on the nipple. This ventilation system causes the air from inside the nipple to be pushed out through the valve thereby flattening the nipple to shape naturally after the baby’s oral cavity. The valve is also the reason why water can be presented inside the nipple after cleaning and sterilization. If this is the case, simply just squeeze the nipple flat to press out the excess water.

The round lightweight shield is carefully designed to curve away from the sensitive and delicate skin around the baby’s mouth, to ensure minimum contact with the baby’s nose and mouth, which means less chance of moisture build-up from saliva that can cause rashes and sore spots.

The shield comes in one size no matter the nipple size. Also available in a night version with a glow-in-the-dark handle. The nipple is produced from natural rubber latex. Since natural rubber latex is a natural material color variation may occur.Available in sizes 1, 2, and 3.

BIBS Supreme - Symmetrical nipple

Supreme is our exclusive wide shield pacifier. With its symmetrical flat-drop shaped nipple, we 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.

Like our other pacifiers, the nipple is equipped with a valve, letting out air when the baby closes down on the nipple. This ventilation system causes the air from inside the nipple to be pushed out through the valve thereby flattening the nipple to shape naturally after the baby’s oral cavity. The valve is also the reason why water can be present inside the nipple after cleaning and sterilization. If this is the case, simply just squeeze the nipple flat to press out the excess water.

The shield and nipple are symmetrical, which means that the pacifier always lies correctlyin your baby’s mouth. Also, the shield is carefully designed with large holes on each side to ensure minimum contact with the sensitive and delicate skin around the baby’s mouth, which means less chance of moisture build-up from saliva that can cause rashes and sore spots.

The shield comes in two different sizes that match the nipple size. The bigger the nipple - the bigger the shield. The nipple comes in both natural rubber latex and silicone. Since natural rubber latex is a natural material color variation may occur. Further, the silicone nipple has an innovative pattern in the nipple that reinforces the material, making it more resistant than other silicone pacifiers. Available in sizes 1 and 2.
