Soothing

Whatever you call them, they can help soothe and calm baby and turn screams and sobs into smiles.

Even if you think you won’t use one, you won’t be the first to change your mind. 

There are some studies that show that using a pacifier while your baby sleeps can mean a reduced risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). It’s not clear exactly why this is the case and there’s no need to give your baby a pacifier to prevent cot death, but it may make you feel a little less guilty if you choose to. 

Here at Tommee Tippee, we say do what’s right for you and your baby, today and tomorrow and the day after that. We’re here to make that as easy and guilt-free as we can.

Some babies will like being swaddled, cuddled or rocked to soothe and comfort them. Others find real comfort in sucking - fingers, thumbs, or anything at hand. They even start doing it in the womb. So if you think that a pacifier will help calm and comfort baby and you then go for it.

We started making baby products in 1965 with one clear goal: to make life simpler for real families.

We’ve listened to the real challenges faced by families - that’s why you’ll find Tommee Tippee pacifiers that glow in the dark.

To make it easy and comfortable for baby to start using their pacifier, Tommee Tippee pacifiers are specially designed to feel familiar, with a breast-shaped baglet to suit your baby’s needs. (The baglet is the part of the pacifier that the baby sucks).

Because all our pacifiers use the same nipple design, you can easily mix and match between them, and your baby is more likely to accept them the first time.

Our pacifiers are available in a range of sizes from newborn up to 36 months, for little people who need a pacifier for comfort when they sleep. It’s important you choose the right pacifier for your baby’s age stage as the pacifier nipples are shaped to support baby’s changing palate and oral development.

Sucking is one of your baby's natural reflexes, so a pacifier could be an instant source of comfort when they’re tired or upset - but only if they accept it! Inspired by our award-winning breast-like nipples, Tommee Tippee pacifiers move and flex just like a real breast, so they feel familiar in your baby’s mouth. This means they’re more likely to accept our pacifiers first time and continue to use them until they naturally move on, or until you’d prefer to use other forms of comforting.

*83% of 349 parents recalled that their babies accepted Tommee Tippee pacifiers the first time. Online survey March 2017. 

When mom’s breast isn’t available, our Breast-like pacifier is the next best thing for baby to latch onto in between feedings. Inspired by our award-winning Closer to Nature nipple, our Breast-like pacifier feels, flexes and stretches just like skin, so there’s less chance of confusion when switching between breast, bottle and pacifier.
