🍼 What types of pacifiers are available?
🔰 Latex pacifiers are natural and dark orange in color. They are often recommended for premature and delicate babies. The reason is that latex pacifiers soften when heated to mouth temperature and can resemble a mother’s breast. However, latex pacifiers can cause allergies in a child due to the presence of proteins in them. When choosing latex pacifiers, it is important to choose one that belongs to a well-known brand of high quality. Poor quality latex has the property of releasing carcinogenic (extremely harmful to health) substances.
♻️ Silicone pacifiers are made of artificial material. They will be colorless. The main feature of a silicone pacifier is that the child will not be allergic to it, because silicone is an artificial substance, unlike latex. Silicone pacifiers are more durable than latex pacifiers.
Distinguish the shape of the pacifier:
🔸 Normal pacifier - is made mainly of latex and is in the shape of the mother’s breast. Its tip is larger and has a round shape.
🔸 Anatomical pacifier - designed for newborns. Its tip has a slightly elongated shape and rests on the baby’s palate.
🔸 Orthopedic suction cup - drip shape. Nipples of this shape do not completely cover the baby’s oral cavity, resulting in no deformation of the teeth and jaw.
