Why choose the right size silicone pacifier

Choosing the right size silicone pacifier is crucial for your baby’s feeding and growth:

Adapt to your baby’s sucking ability: Newborns have weak sucking power and need to choose a smaller-size pacifier so that they can suck more easily. As the baby grows and its sucking ability increases, it can be gradually replaced with a larger size pacifier to meet its needs for milk flow.

Reduces the risk of dysphagia and milk choking: The proper size of the pacifier can ensure that the milk flows out at the right speed and avoid rapid milk flow that results in the baby swallowing or choking. The right pacifier size can also reduce the risk of your baby swallowing too much air to some extent, reducing the likelihood of gastrointestinal discomfort.

Improve your baby’s feeding experience: The right size and material of the pacifier can make the baby more comfortable to suck, thus improving the feeding experience. The all-in-one pacifier is safer for the baby and can avoid a choking crisis caused by a part of the pacifier falling off.

How to choose the right size silicone pacifier according to the baby’s age

Choose the right size silicone pacifier according to the baby’s age, mainly considering the baby’s age and sucking ability. Different sizes of pacifiers are suitable for babies of other months of age to ensure that the baby can use it comfortably and will not feel uncomfortable because the pacifier is too large or too small.

Newborns (0-3 months): A pacifier size S or SS is suitable for use. The pacifier has a slower flow rate and is shaped to mimic breast milk, helping the baby adapt and suck.

‌Infants (3-6 months): Suitable for size M pacifier. As babies grow, their sucking ability increases and they need a larger flow of pacifiers.

‌more than 6 months: suitable for L or LL pacifier. At this time, the baby’s sucking ability is further enhanced, and a larger flow of pacifiers is needed to meet their needs.

How to choose the right size silicone pacifier according to the size of baby’s mouth

When purchasing a silicone pacifier, the size of the baby’s mouth should be considered, the size of the baby’s mouth will change with growth, so the size of the pacifier also needs to be adjusted accordingly, and the corresponding size of the pacifier should be selected. The size should not be too large, so as not to contain the baby or produce discomfort; It should not be too small, so as not to affect the baby’s comfort or cause red nose and other situations.

In general, the size of the silicone pacifier is mainly divided into small (S), medium (M) and large (L), and these three models correspond to different age stages of the baby:

‌Babies 0-6 months: Suitable for small (S) silicone pacifiers. At this stage, the baby’s mouth is small, and the small silicone pacifier can better adapt to their sucking needs, and will not cause too much oral burden.

‌Babies 6-18 months: Suitable for medium (M) silicone pacifier. As the baby grows, their mouth gradually becomes larger and their sucking ability becomes stronger, so the medium silicone pacifier is more suitable.

For babies over 16 months: If you have started to eat complementary foods, you can choose a large (L) silicone pacifier. Large silicone pacifiers are usually designed to better fit your baby’s mouth structure, helping to reduce discomfort.

How to choose the right size silicone pacifier according to the baby’s sucking habits

‌Choosing the right size silicone pacifier ‌ according to your baby’s sucking habits is very important, because different sizes of silicone pacifiers will affect your baby’s sucking experience and comfort.

For babies 3 months and under ‌ suitable for babies 3 months and under the silicone pacifier model, this model of silicone pacifier is suitable for this age group of babies sucking ability.

‌babies 6 months and older ‌ suitable for the use of 6 months and older silicone pacifier models suitable for the sucking needs of older babies.

How to choose the right size silicone pacifier by reference to the pacifier flow identifier

The pacifier flow identifier is mainly used to indicate the flow size of the pacifier, that is, the speed at which the milk flows out, usually matching the baby’s age and sucking ability. ‌

SS round hole (low flow): suitable for 0-1 months of baby, minimum flow, to ensure that the newborn can easily suck and not choke.
‌S round hole (slow flow): suitable for 0-3 months of baby, moderate flow, suitable for the gradual increase of newborn sucking demand.
‌M round hole (medium flow): suitable for 3-6 months of baby, large flow, to meet the baby’s growing food.
‌L round hole (fast flow): suitable for babies over 6 months old, large flow, suitable for babies who can freely adjust the amount of milk to use.
Y-hole: suitable for babies who are more than 3 months old or can freely control the amount of milk, the flow rate is automatically adjusted according to the baby’s sucking strength, not easy to choke milk, and can be used for sucking liquid food such as juice.
Cross hole: it is also suitable for babies over 6 months old or babies who start to add rice flour. It has two advantages: first, when the silicone pacifier is not used temporarily, the cross hole is in a closed state, which can block the invasion of bacteria; Second, the “cross” at the opening will open and close according to the size of the baby’s sucking force, playing a role in regulating the flow of food.
