BIBS Colour Latex Pacifier

The BIBS Colour Latex Pacifier is the original BIBS dummy, offering non-nutritive sucking (comfort sucking rather than feeding) for settling and comfort. It pairs a soft natural rubber latex nipple with the signature round BIBS shield, three ventilation holes and the engraved round handle ring that many parents recognise — a simple, one-piece style of soother that has been around for over 40 years.

The nipple is round and made to resemble the shape and size of the breast, which is designed to encourage a similar tongue placement and sucking technique to breastfeeding. Whether a baby takes to it comes down to individual preference — like all dummies, some babies settle with it easily and others don't — so it's offered here as one option to try rather than a guaranteed fit.

A closer look at the design

• Round nipple: Shaped and sized to resemble the breast, with a valve that lets air out as baby closes down, allowing the nipple to flatten and shape more naturally to the oral cavity.
• Signature round shield: Lightweight and curved away from the delicate skin around the mouth and nose, keeping contact to a minimum.
• Three vent holes: These help air reach the skin, which reduces the chance of saliva building up and causing rashes or sore spots.

Materials and make

The nipple is made from natural rubber latex, which is soft and elastic. The shield is made from 100% food-safe material and the dummy is free from BPA, PVC and phthalates. It's designed and manufactured in Denmark/EU.

Sizes and shapes

The Colour range comes in Size 1 (0+ months), Size 2 (6+ months) and Size 3, so you can move up as baby grows. The nipple is available in round or symmetrical options, while the shield stays one size regardless of the nipple size you choose. Because natural rubber latex is a natural material, some colour variation between dummies is normal.

Disclaimer

The nipple is made from natural rubber latex — please keep this in mind if there is any latex sensitivity or allergy in your family. A dummy should never delay a feed: always check for hunger cues (rooting, hand-to-mouth movements, increasing alertness) first, and never sweeten, modify or force it. Inspect the dummy before every use and replace it at the first sign of cracks, tears, stickiness, swelling, thinning or discolouration. Follow safe-sleep guidance and keep clips, cords and attachments out of the sleep space. As natural rubber latex is a natural material, colour may vary slightly from the image.

Pandylane Pro Tip: Latex is softer and more elastic than silicone but can swell, darken or become sticky over time, so give it a quick stretch-and-look check each day and swap it out sooner rather than later once it starts to change.
