A Guide to Soothing Your Baby

whatever you call them, they can help turn a baby's screams and sobs into contented smiles.

All babies are born with the natural urge to suckle, and it's proven that doing so triggers the release of a hormone called CCK (cholecystokinin) that makes them feel full, relaxed, and sleepy!

Plus, pacifiers allow little ones to practise a coordinated suckle-swallow-breathe action – three important steps that help them to feed effectively from breast or bottle.

Some babies find swaddling, cuddling, or rocking soothing and comforting. 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 your baby, then go for it!

It's easy for your baby to get used to a Tommee Tippee pacifier because each one is specially designed with a soft and flexible baglet – the baglet is the part of the pacifier that the baby sucks!

Plus, all our pacifiers are BPA-free for your ultimate reassurance. ​

Our pacifiers are available in a range of styles and sizes for tiny babies from birth up to 36 months.

All our pacifiers have oval-shaped baglets that’re vented and compress more easily than traditional, air-filled baglets. They reduce pressure on baby’s developing teeth and gums, and each symmetrical, silicone baglet is fully reversible with no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way round, so the pacifier will always be placed comfortably in baby’s mouth.

It’s important that you choose the right pacifier for your baby’s age stage as the baglets are shaped to support baby’s changing palate and oral development.

You should replace your baby’s pacifier every month and always at the first signs of damage or weakness, and we recommend weaning off pacifiers altogether by the time your child is 36 months old.

*as compared to traditional round unvented pacifiers which do not compress as easily.
