BIBS De Lux Latex Pacifier

The BIBS De Lux Latex Pacifier is a dummy with a round teat and a natural rubber latex nipple, made for non-nutritive sucking — the comfort sucking babies do that isn't about milk. Its roomy shield gives you a large, flat surface for name-labelling, which is exactly what you want when a dummy is heading off to daycare or into a shared nappy bag. If your baby takes to a rounder, orientation-neutral teat, this is a soft, food-grade option that's designed and made in Denmark.

The round teat sits the same way up no matter how it goes in, so there's no fiddling to orient it correctly during a middle-of-the-night settle. Natural rubber latex is a softer, more elastic material than silicone, and it comfortably adapts to your baby's mouth. It's worth knowing that latex is a consideration if there's a latex allergy in the family, and that it needs more frequent checking and replacing than silicone as it wears.

Part of the BIBS De Lux range

The De Lux teat is shaped to resemble the shape, fit and movement of a mother's nipple, and it matches the nipple shape on BIBS baby bottles — which can make moving between dummy, bottle and breast feel more consistent. As with any teat shape, acceptance is individual: some babies love a round teat and others prefer something flatter, so this is about finding what suits your baby rather than a shape that works for everyone.

Shield and materials

The shield is made from food-grade PP and is designed with ventilation to help prevent skin irritation and moisture build-up against your baby's face. The nipple is natural rubber latex, and BIBS states the materials are BPA-free and 100% food-grade. The dummy complies with European Standard EN1400:2013+A2:2018.

Choosing a size

BIBS recommends starting with a size based on your baby's age, but ultimately your baby decides what feels right. As they grow, moving up to a larger size helps keep the fit comfortable and appropriate for their stage.

Care and replacement

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. Sterilise natural rubber latex nipples regularly by scalding. Check dummies regularly and replace them every 4–6 weeks, or at the first sign of damage or weakness — an enlarged or sticky nipple is a clear sign it's time for a new one.

Best For

The BIBS De Lux Latex Pacifier is a great option for parents who:

• Want a round, orientation-neutral teat that can go in either way up
• Prefer the softer, more elastic feel of natural rubber latex
• Need a large labelling surface for daycare or shared bags
• Already use or plan to use BIBS baby bottles and want a matching nipple shape

It may not be the best fit if you:

• Are managing a latex allergy or would rather avoid latex
• Prefer a material you can sterilise in the microwave, as the latex nipple should be sterilised by scalding

Disclaimer

A dummy is for non-nutritive sucking and shouldn't be used to postpone a feed — always consider hunger cues such as rooting or hand-to-mouth movement first. Never sweeten or modify a dummy, and don't attach clips, cords or toys during sleep. Follow the full safe-sleep setup. If you have questions about dummy use, feeding or your baby's dental development, your clinic or healthcare provider can guide you.
