Every baby’s mouth is shaped a little differently, and there is no single pacifier that works for every baby. Shape, softness, and material all matter, and what works beautifully for one baby may not be the right fit for yours. We recommend waiting to invest heavily in any one brand until you know what your baby takes to. That said, we’ve included this pacifier (and a few others) on our product list we feel confident recommending as a starting point.
A practical option, particularly for families already using Dr. Brown’s bottles. Because it mirrors the shape of the bottle nipple, babies often move easily between feeding and soothing with this pacifier. It is made from a soft, durable silicone and offers a reliable, everyday choice.
Our Basic Pacifier Guidelines
- Choose a straight or cylindrical nipple shape over a flat, pinched, or bulbous one, as this supports better tongue cupping
- Be cautious of pacifiers labeled “orthodontic,” as many feeding therapists find these are actually the least supportive of healthy oral development
- Aim to wean by 6 to 12 months, before use becomes habitual
- Watch for signs of jaw fixing or biting down to hold a pacifier in place, especially with heavier attachments
- If you are having trouble weaning from a pacifier, type “pacifier” into our directory to find a provider who can support you
