Pacifiers

1. How do the new Closer to Nature pacifiers differ from others?

The new Closer to Nature pacifiers (Pure, C-air, and Soft) were created by a bio-medical engineer and a pediatric dentist. They studied the way that the tongue functions and the way that infants suck, and wanted to develop a soother to be more natural and fit more naturally in the mouth.

When a baby sucks on a pacifier, they build up internal pressure in their mouth, the tongue is low and the cheek muscles push inwards on the palate. Our new pacifier is designed to have a natural fit in the mouth and gently expands in an umbrella-like fashion to support the palate and maintain its natural shape.

There are a lot of orthodontic shaped pacifiers on the market today, but what we have developed is a pacifier that provides an orthodontic function.

This pacifier promotes safe and healthy oral development because of its natural fit and unique attributes in the design of the teat.

2. How do I clean my Closer to Nature Pacifier?

You should wash the pacifier in warm, soapy water. We would recommend you sterilize the pacifier in your sterilizer.

3. How often should I change my child’s Pacifier?

We recommend that you should change your child’s pacifier every month. We also recommend you follow the age stage guidance shown on the pacifier packaging. The age guide is important as the size and scale of the baglet on the pacifier changes as the child grows and develops.
