PACIFIER GUIDE

Welcome to the wonderful world of pacifiers!

Pacifiers, binkies, dummies, soothers – whatever you call them, these little essentials can bring comfort to your baby and a little peace of mind to you.

But with so many options available, how do you choose the right one?

Let's explore what to look for when choosing a pacifier for your little one.

Why choose a HEVEA pacifier?

Unlike many conventional pacifiers that combine different materials, HEVEA pacifiers are made from natural rubber latex derived from the Hevea brasiliensis tree. Our one-piece design combines the teat and shield without separate plastic components.

ONLY NATURAL RUBBER

Our natural rubber pacifier is made with only one material - Natural Rubber. It is vegan certified and completely free from plastic

VENTILATED TEAT

Unlike many conventional pacifiers with a closed teat, HEVEA pacifiers have a small air hole where the teat meets the shield. This allows air to move in and out as your baby sucks, helping the teat stay soft and flexible and gently follow your baby's natural sucking movements.

HYGIENIC DESIGN

The seamless, one-piece design has no joints where dirt and water can collect, making our pacifiers easy to clean.

Simply place in freshly boiled water for a few minutes, following the care instructions.

DANISH DESIGN

HEVEA pacifiers feature four ventilation holes in the shield, allowing air to circulate around your baby's mouth.

These important safety features are incorporated into HEVEA's Danish design as playful shapes, such as stars, ducks and flowers.

Sizes

HEVEA pacifiers are available in different age ranges to accommodate babies as they grow.

0–3 months: Designed for newborns and very young babies.

3–36 months: Designed for older babies and toddlers within the stated age range.

Natural or coloured - what's the difference?

Whether you love the classic natural rubber shade or prefer one of HEVEA's beautiful colours, our pacifiers are made from natural rubber latex derived from the Hevea brasiliensis tree.

Just like babies, pacifier preferences are individual.

HEVEA offers different teat shapes, allowing parents to choose the design their baby prefers.

THE DO`S & DONT`S OF PACIFIERS

For important hygiene reasons, remember to replace pacifiers every 6-8 weeks.

DO's

If breastfeeding, consider waiting until feeding is well established before introducing a pacifier, unless advised otherwise by a healthcare professional.
Check whether your baby is hungry, tired or needs comfort before offering a pacifier.
Before first use, sterilise according to the supplied instructions. Clean thoroughly after each use.
Check the pacifier before every use by pulling the teat in all directions. Discard immediately if damaged or weakened.
Replace pacifiers within 1–2 months of use for safety and hygiene, or sooner if signs of wear appear.

DON`T

Never dip a pacifier in sugar or honey, as this can harm your baby's teeth. Honey should not be given to babies under 12 months.
Avoid homemade pacifiers or untested pacifier clips. Only use clips that meet applicable safety standards.
Avoid prolonged pacifier use throughout the day, as it may interfere with opportunities for speech and language development.
Never allow your baby to use a pacifier as a teether. Chewing can damage the rubber and create a choking hazard.
Never attach a pacifier to cords or ribbons around your baby's neck, or to clothing while sleeping.
