Each child has their
own preference when it comes to the nipple shape of their pacifier. When deciding which pacifier style to offer your child-the Round or the Orthodontic-families appreciate the following visuals and additional information. Consider offering each style to your little one, and then follow their lead! They will let you know which shape they are most comforted by.
Round
The round pacifier is
the same shape all the way around. Lactation Consultants often recommend this round shaped pacifier because it is most like the natural shape of a mother's nipple.
Orthodontic
The orthodontic
pacifier is a combination of round and flat. The flat characteristic mimics the
same shape a mother's nipple takes on as her child nurses. This natural orthodontic shape is believed to assist with maintaining developing tooth
alignment.
Ecopiggy's natural rubber pacifier, Ecopacifier, is made of 100% pure rubber from the rubber tree,
Hevea Brasiliense, just like our Ecoteether. These trees are sustainably grown in plantations in Malaysia. The rubber tree exudes latex sap, the world's
primary source of natural rubber, which is tapped in a similar manner to maple syrup from a maple tree.
After about 20-25
years the tree stops producing latex sap. The trees are then harvested and replanted. The harvested wood is used extensively in furniture, flooring,
construction and even toys. From seed to tree to Ecopacifier to wooden toys, the Rubber tree has an eco-friendly, sustainable and high quality life.
This product is made from 100% natural rubber from the Hevea Tree. Various conditions including
humidity, temperature, the season of harvest, etc. can affect the color (making the product appear darker o lighter), and smell (scent of natural rubber). The beauty of 100% natural products is that their variability is confirmation of nature itself-the tree in spring is much different than the free in autumn.
Did you know that sucking is one of the five womb sensations known to trigger an infant’s calming reflex? Hence, the sucking reflex is naturally calming, leading to the answer, YES, babies can sleep with natural rubber pacifiers! Read more details over on this BLOG POST
Replace Pacifier Every 6-8 Weeks.
In the same way, we are advised to regularly replace our toothbrushes, the same advice applies to replacing your baby’s pacifier. The natural sucking action of your child, contact with the oils of their skin, their saliva, and other factors will, over time, naturally begin to break down the integrity of the pacifier. Your little one will be most content with their pacifier being replaced every 6-8 weeks. READ MORE INFO
