In the process of parenting, pacifiers, as a common baby product, have been favored by many parents. It can not only bring a sense of security to the baby, but also meet the baby's sucking needs to a certain extent.
First, the shape of the pacifier
1. Thumb type
The bite close to the upper and lower jaw is thinner and does not affect oral development and tooth alignment, but long-term sucking still has an effect.
Standard round head
Imitation breast nipple, close to the upper and lower jaw bite is thicker, which can train the upper and lower jaw bite force.

The material is generally divided into two types: latex and silicone. Latex has good elasticity, is easy to return to its original state, and is harmless to the environment; The disadvantage is that it is not resistant to high temperature sterilization, has a short service life, and is easy to age. Silicone is resistant to high temperature sterilization, and the surface is smooth, transparent and odorless; The disadvantage is that the taste is hard, the elasticity is not as good as latex, and once the surface is damaged, it is easy to tear.
2. Style design
All-in-one: the advantage is that it is easy to clean and not easy to hide dirt; The downside is that it's a bit heavy.
Splicing: When cleaning, the water will run into the nipple and need to be thrown out, and the parts are at risk of falling off, which may enter the baby's belly.
3. Look at the three defenses
Anti-redness: Large saliva with air vents is easier to dry and avoid saliva rash and red face.
Anti-nasal blockage: It is not easy to block the nose with a large arc.
Anti-buckteeth: The thin neck and flat head have an inclination, which is suitable for anti-buck teeth when the oral bite is closed.
Antibacterial technology
GRSR bacteria repellent technology is a revolutionary and innovative technology, certified by SGS, which can effectively block the three major germs (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus fungi), with a long-lasting blocking rate of up to 99%.
