Candy Pacifier Holder White

Warnings:

A pacifier clip attached to a baby's clothing is designed to prevent the pacifier from constantly falling to the floor. However, despite being very practical, the clip requires careful consideration when purchasing.

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

Material:

Although there isn't extensive regulation, I advocate for fabric straps, preferably cotton, as they can be washed frequently. Other materials like small rings carry many risks: they are not hygienic, they can come loose, they can contain toxic products in the dyes used, etc.

Size:

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

Weight:

The pacifier clip 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 opposing pressure on the baby’s developing jaw, which could consequently result in an open bite, oral breathing, alterations in orofacial musculature, and in the future, articulatory changes, namely omission, substitution, and/or distortion of speech sounds.” – Sofia Silva (speech therapist for 14 years).
