Sold as a pack of two, this Stage 2 version is sized for babies aged 6–12 months, and it was developed by a paediatric dentist with a contoured \"butterfly\" shield and a patented air channel in the teat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNon-nutritive sucking can be a soothing tool during settling, but every baby is different — some take to a dummy readily and others don't, and that's completely normal. A dummy is best offered once you've considered whether baby might be hungry first, and it works alongside feeding, closeness and a safe sleep space rather than replacing any of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuction-free air channel:\u003c\/strong\u003e The soft bulb has a patented channel that opens and spreads wider as baby sucks. It's designed to reduce suction and lower the pressure inside the mouth — the pressure the maker links to dental issues such as cross bites (bite changes).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContoured butterfly shield:\u003c\/strong\u003e The shield is shaped to help keep it from resting flat against baby's face, which can make it more comfortable during wear and help with managing drool.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaediatric-dentist design:\u003c\/strong\u003e It carries the same low-pressure design approach as the Regular Shield PreVent pacifier, with the contoured shield being the difference in this Butterfly version.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's worth noting that \"designed to help reduce pressure\" describes the design intention — no dummy can guarantee healthy teeth, and prolonged use can still affect the developing mouth, so gradual, selective use and your own dental or health guidance remain the best approach as baby grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits in the range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PreVent line is staged by age, so as baby moves through the age bands you can step up to the shield and teat proportions intended for that stage — this being the Stage 2 (6–12 month) option. Coming as a two-pack means you have a spare on hand, which is genuinely useful when one goes missing at the worst possible moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare and inspection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eClean and sterilise according to the manufacturer's instructions and let the dummy dry fully before use. Never sweeten a dummy, clean it in your own mouth, or modify it. Check it regularly for cracks, tears, stickiness, swelling, thinning or discolouration, and replace it if you spot any of these — a damaged dummy is a replacement trigger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBest For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eDr. Brown's PreVent Butterfly Stage 2 Pacifier\u003c\/strong\u003e is a good option for parents who:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave a baby in the 6–12 month stage and want a dummy sized for that age band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrefer a contoured shield that's shaped to sit away from baby's face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLike the reassurance of a spare, since it comes as a pack of two\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt may not be the right fit if you:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eHave a younger baby who needs a smaller stage\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eHave a baby who simply doesn't settle with a dummy — acceptance is individual and can't be forced\u003c\/li\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDisclaimer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow safe-sleep guidance: never attach a dummy to baby with a clip, cord, toy or other attachment during sleep, as these carry strangulation risk. A dummy should never delay or replace a feed — always consider hunger cues first. If it falls out once baby is asleep, there's no need to put it back, and it should never be forced. For a breastfed baby, current guidance supports waiting until breastfeeding is well established before routine dummy use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ironore Trade","offers":[{"title":"Leopard \u0026 Bees","offer_id":47282073764017,"sku":"DRB-PVB2-LB","price":225.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dinosaur \u0026 Lemon","offer_id":47282073796785,"sku":"DRB-PVB2-DL","price":225.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/9559\/4673\/files\/dr-brown-s-prevent-butterfly-stage-2-pacifier-2-pack-1.jpg?v=1784531599","url":"https:\/\/pandylane.com\/products\/dr-brown-s-prevent-butterfly-stage-2-pacifier-2-pack","provider":"Pandylane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
