{"product_id":"bibs-couture-latex-pacifier","title":"BIBS Couture Latex Pacifier","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe BIBS Couture Latex Pacifier is a dummy designed for non-nutritive sucking — the comfort sucking babies do for reassurance rather than milk. It pairs a butterfly-inspired shield with an anatomical teat in soft natural rubber latex, in a Size 1 (0+ months) fit for the newborn stage. If you're looking for a dummy with a shaped teat and a lightweight, ventilated shield, this is one to consider.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe anatomical teat has a profile that follows the contours of baby's mouth, supporting the natural sucking motion. It's made from natural rubber latex, which is softer and more elastic than silicone — a texture some babies prefer. The wide shield curves gently towards the face and sits with a soft matte finish, while generous ventilation openings allow air to the skin. As with any teat shape, acceptance is individual, so it may take a little trial to see whether your baby takes to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnatomical teat:\u003c\/strong\u003e The teat mimics the contours of baby's mouth, which is designed to support a natural sucking motion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurved wide shield:\u003c\/strong\u003e The shield curves gently towards the mouth for a secure fit that's designed to demand less oral strength.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVentilation openings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generous openings in the shield help air reach the skin and limit moisture building up behind it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAir valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e A valve releases air so the teat can shape naturally to your baby's oral cavity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterials and make\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe teat is natural rubber latex and the shield is food-grade PP, made from safe food-grade materials and free from BPA. The dummy is designed and made in Denmark and complies with the European Standard EN 1400:2013+A2:2018. Because it's a latex teat, expect it to be soft and elastic, and note that it can expand slightly with use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to use and care for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore the first use, gently pull the teat in all directions and check it for any weakness or damage, then sterilise it. To sterilise, place the dummy in boiling water for 5 minutes and allow it to cool. Water can get into the teat through the vent hole — simply squeeze the teat gently to remove it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClean and sterilise by scalding before each use. Do not use cleaning products or a dishwasher, as these break down the teat. Latex teats should be sterilised regularly by scalding. Check the dummy often and replace it every 4–6 weeks, or sooner at the first sign of damage or weakness. An enlarged or sticky teat, or any change in colour or shape, means it's time for a new one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBIBS Couture Latex Pacifier\u003c\/strong\u003e is a great option for parents who:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave a newborn or young baby in the 0+ months stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave a baby who prefers an anatomical teat shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrefer the softer, more elastic feel of natural rubber latex over silicone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt may not be the best fit if you:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eAre managing a known or suspected latex allergy and would prefer a silicone teat\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePrefer a teat that can be sterilised in the microwave (latex is sterilised by scalding)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDisclaimer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe teat is made from natural rubber latex, which can cause an allergic reaction in some children. Always monitor your baby while a dummy is in use. Never attach ribbons or cords to a soother, as your child may be strangled by them, and only use dedicated soother holders tested to EN 12586. Never dip the teat in sweet substances or medication. Keep the dummy out of direct sunlight and away from heat, and don't leave it in sterilising solution longer than recommended. Do not use a soother that has changed colour or shows irregularities. In line with safe-sleep guidance, dummy clips, cords and attachments should not be in the cot during sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scandi League Brands","offers":[{"title":"Size 1 \/ Vanilla","offer_id":47281941807281,"sku":"BIBS-CULP-1-VN","price":120.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Size 1 \/ Baby Blue","offer_id":48115961430193,"sku":"BIBS-CULP-1-BB","price":120.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Size 1 \/ Sage","offer_id":48115961462961,"sku":"BIBS-CULP-1-SG","price":120.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Size 2 \/ Vanilla","offer_id":47281941872817,"sku":"BIBS-CULP-2-VN","price":120.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Size 2 \/ Blush","offer_id":47281941840049,"sku":"BIBS-CULP-2-BL","price":120.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/9559\/4673\/files\/bibs-couture-latex-pacifier-1.jpg?v=1784537267","url":"https:\/\/pandylane.com\/products\/bibs-couture-latex-pacifier","provider":"Pandylane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
