Pink Flower Pacifier Holder

Care Advice:

Pacifier holders attached to a baby's clothing prevent the pacifier from constantly falling to the floor. However, despite being very practical, pacifier holders require careful consideration when purchasing.

There are many safety criteria, but I will focus on three points that I believe are the most important:

Material:

Although there isn't much regulation, I prefer fabric straps, preferably cotton, as they can be washed frequently. Other materials, such as small rings, pose many risks: they are not hygienic, they can come loose, and they may contain toxic products in the dyes used, etc.

Size:

According to European safety regulations, the holder should be a maximum of 22 cm long, excluding the clip, ensuring a safe length that prevents the risk of strangulation if it wraps around the neck.

Weight:

The pacifier holder should be lightweight. Heavy ones can cause serious problems in the future.

“Large and heavy pacifier clips should be avoided due to the risk of causing orofacial alterations in the baby. A heavy clip will exert counter-pressure on the baby's developing jaw, which could consequently result in an open bite, oral breathing, alterations in orofacial musculature, and future articulatory alterations, namely omission, substitution, and/or distortion of speech sounds.” – Sofia Silva (speech therapist for 14 years).
