a pacifier that soothes babies and parents too! The Silicone Orthodontic Pacifier is a 100% silicone one-piece pacifier that isn t just for pacifying but is also clinically developed for comfort breathing and orthodontic benefits. An exclusive nipple design helps position baby’s tongue forward to maintain an open airway which supports physiological breathing. Physiological breathing is especially important during sleep. It improves quality of sleep and reduces irritability - better for baby & you! The unique angle and lateral curve of the nipple evenly distribute tongue pressure across baby s palate. Tiny ridges and an inclined nipple shape guide proper tongue placement. Together these important features support baby s growing palate and teeth. For baby’s comfort the nipple is made from extra-soft silicone with a satin-textured finish to help keep the paci in baby’s mouth for uninterrupted soothing. Multiple ventilation holes promote air circulation and help reduce moisture buildup on baby’s soft sensitive skin. Plus there s an easy-to-grab handle for either baby or parent to hold. The exclusive nipple design was developed tested and approved in partnership with an advisory panel of leading neonatologists pediatricians and orthodontists. The one-piece Soft Silicone pacifiers also adhere to the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics and are accepted by 9 out of 10 babies.
