BIBS Studio Flower Child Latex Pacifier

The BIBS Studio Flower Child Latex Pacifier is a natural rubber latex dummy from the BIBS Studio Collection, where fashion-forward prints meet a considered everyday design. Like all dummies, it's made for non-nutritive sucking — the sucking a baby does for comfort rather than milk — so it can be offered during settling or sleep once you've checked that baby isn't actually hungry.

The teat is made from natural rubber latex, which tends to be softer and more elastic than silicone, while the round shield sits away from the delicate skin around baby's mouth and nose. It's designed to keep contact to a minimum and to help limit the moisture build-up from saliva that can lead to rashes and sore spots around the mouth.

How it works

• Air-release valve: The teat has a valve that lets air out as baby closes down on it, so the teat flattens and is designed to shape more naturally to baby's oral cavity.
• Natural rubber latex teat: Latex is softer and more elastic than silicone, which some babies prefer — though acceptance is always individual and no shape or material suits every baby.
• Round, lightweight shield: The shield faces away from baby's skin to keep contact with the nose and mouth to a minimum, and helps manage drool so there's less moisture sitting against the skin.

Sizes and stages

The Flower Child latex dummy comes in three sizes so you can match the teat to baby's stage: Size 1 for 0+ months, Size 2 for 6+ months, and Size 3 for 18+ months. The shield is a single size across all three, so it's the teat proportions that change as baby grows. Smaller isn't automatically safer — the right size is the one that matches the stated stage for your baby.

Materials and standards

The shield is made from 100% food-grade PP, and the dummy complies with the European Standard EN 1400+A2 for soothers.

Best For

The BIBS Studio Flower Child Latex Pacifier is a great option for parents who:

• Prefer a softer, more elastic natural rubber latex teat over silicone
• Want a dummy sized by stage, from newborn through to 18+ months
• Like the print-led look of the BIBS Studio Collection

It may not be the best fit if you:

• Are managing a latex allergy or sensitivity, in which case a silicone dummy is worth considering instead
• Prefer a clear, shape-stable teat that won't change colour or texture over time

Disclaimer

Because the teat is natural rubber latex, some colour variation can occur — this is normal for a natural material. Latex can also swell, darken or become sticky over time, so inspect the dummy before each use and replace it at the first sign of cracks, tears, thinning or stickiness. If a dummy is used for sleep, follow safe-sleep guidance and never attach clips, cords, toys or other accessories during sleep. Always offer a feed first if baby is showing hunger cues rather than using a dummy to delay a feed.
