BIBS Colour Symmetrical Latex Pacifier

The BIBS Symmetrical Pacifier is a silicone dummy made for non-nutritive sucking — the comforting, milk-free sucking that can help settle an unsettled baby. Its symmetrical nipple means the top and bottom match, so it can go into baby's mouth either way up. That's one less thing to fidget with during a bleary-eyed night, and it sits the same regardless of orientation.

Built as an extension of the brand's Boheme shield style on a wider shield, it's designed for babies who prefer a secure fit with a symmetrical, anatomical nipple shape. The soft silicone nipple is hypoallergenic and durable, and the whole dummy is made from BPA-free, 100% food-grade materials, with a food-grade PP shield. It's designed and made in Denmark.

How the shield is designed

• Easy-fit shield: The shield is shaped to need minimal oral strength, which helps it stay in place while keeping things gentle for baby.
• Nose-friendly dip: A curved dip at the top gives baby's nose room, so the shield sits comfortably against the face.
• Ventilation openings: Generous holes in the shield help air move and reduce moisture building up against the skin around the mouth.
• Room to label: The large surface area gives you space to write baby's name — handy for crèche, day care or a nappy bag full of look-alikes.

How to use and care for it

Before the first use, gently pull the nipple in all directions and inspect it for any weakness or damage, then sterilise it after taking it out of the packaging. You can sterilise the silicone nipple by scalding or in the microwave using the correct technique.

Sizes are offered by age as a starting point, but ultimately baby decides what feels right. As baby grows, move up to a larger size for continued comfort and a safe fit.

When to replace it

Check the dummy regularly and replace it every 4–6 weeks, or at the first sign of damage or weakness. A nipple that has become enlarged or sticky is telling you it's time for a new one.

Disclaimer

This dummy complies with European Standard EN1400:2013+A2:2018. For non-nutritive sucking, always consider whether baby is hungry first — rooting, mouth opening and hand-to-mouth movements can signal a feed is needed, and a dummy shouldn't delay one. Never force a dummy, sweeten it or modify it. Keep clips, cords, toys and other attachments out of the sleep space and follow safe-sleep guidance. If breastfeeding, many parents wait until feeding is well established before introducing a dummy.
