Parenthood is an incredible journey. However, this journey can also be stressful for new parents who are unsure about which products are the best fit for their baby. We’re here to help you every step of the way.
From birth babies have a natural sucking reflex. The baby will try to satisfy this need with the mother’s breast, a pacifier, a thumb or other. It is not only a vital reflex for the baby to get food but sucking also has a calming effect on the baby, reminding the baby of something safe and familiar in an otherwise foreign world.
Benefits of using a pacifier
-Pacifiers help calm and soothe the baby, and can therefore help to make the baby fall asleep
-The pacifier helps to lower the heart rate, blood pressure and stress levels
-The pacifier has a pain-relieving effect
-A pacifier comforts the baby and provide security when it gets upset or distraught
Different pacifier sizes
All dummys come in varying sizes. BIBS dummies come in the following:
0+ months = Size 1
6+ months = Size 2
18+ months = Size 3
Onesize = 0-3 years
Different pacifier shapes
When it comes to the nipple, no size or shape is right or wrong because all babies are different. Babies have different preferences, different sucking techniques, and different mouth anatomy. Therefore, we offer different pacifiers that meet all these different needs.
It can be necessary to try out different shapes and sizes to find the perfect fit for your child. Some babies prefer a certain nipple shape, size, or material while others do not have any preferences and will take whatever shape, size, and material you offer.
We offer Dummies with a round/cherry shaped nipple, anatomical shaped nipple and symmetrical shaped nipple. If you don’t know the shape your baby prefers yet, then we have a ‘Try It Pack’ contacting one dummy in each shape.

ROUND/CHERRY SHAPED DUMMIES:
The round nipple resembles the shape and size of the mother’s soft nipple and promotes a similar tongue placement and sucking technique as when breastfeeding since the round shape allows the sides of the tongue to elevate and cup around the nipple.
The nipple is equipped with a valve, that lets out air when the baby closes down on the nipple. This ventilation system causes the air from inside the nipple to be pushed out through the valve thereby flattening the nipple to shape naturally after the baby’s oral cavity.
The following dummies come with a round/cherry shaped nipple:

SYMMETRICAL SHAPED DUMMIES:
Our BIBS dummies with a symmetrical flat-drop-shaped nipple, accommodate babies who prefer the flat symmetrical nipple shape. The drop-shaped nipple promotes a tongue placement and sucking technique where the tongue is flat and presses the pacifier flat against the palate, which means that the baby does not need to suck as hard, as with a round nipple, for the pacifier to flatten inside the mouth.
Like our other pacifiers, the nipple is equipped with a valve, that lets out air when the baby closes down on the nipple. This ventilation system causes the air from inside the nipple to be pushed out through the valve thereby flattening the nipple to shape naturally after the baby’s oral cavity. The valve is also the reason why water can be present inside the nipple after cleaning and sterilization. If this is the case, simply just squeeze the nipple flat to press out the excess water.
This dummy only comes in size 1 & 2.

ANATOMICAL SHAPED DUMMIES:
Our last nipple type is the anatomical nipple which is curved at the top for a natural fit to the baby’s palate with an angled tip for easy tongue placement. The curved top promotes a tongue placement and sucking technique where the sides of the tongue cup around the nipple, as it, does during breastfeeding. The angled tip means that the baby does not need to suck as hard. As with a round nipple, for the pacifier to flatten inside the mouth.
This dummy comes in size 1 & 2.
