The Dr. Brown's Advantage Stage 1 Pacifier is a fully symmetrical silicone dummy designed for babies from 0 to 6 months, offering non-nutritive sucking — sucking for comfort rather than milk. Sold as a two-pack in the Blue Space design, it's a handy option to keep one on hand while another is being washed. The symmetrical shape means the bulb fits in baby's mouth either right-side up or upside down, so there's no fiddling to orient it the right way when you're settling an unsettled little one.
The bulb is made from 100% silicone with a rounded shape intended to satisfy baby's natural suckling reflexes. Silicone is generally clear, shape-stable and resistant to odour, and this dummy is taste-free, odour-free and BPA-free. The shield carries a design that lets baby's skin breathe, which is intended to help reduce irritation around the mouth where drool tends to collect.
How it Works
- Fully symmetrical bulb: The top and bottom match, so the dummy can go in either way up — one less thing to think about during a middle-of-the-night settle.
- Rounded silicone bulb: The rounded shape is designed to satisfy baby's suckling reflex, giving comfort through sucking without a feed.
- Ventilated shield: The shield design lets baby's skin breathe, which is intended to help reduce irritation on the delicate skin around the mouth.
Stage sizing
The Advantage Pacifier comes in two stages sized to grow with baby, and this is the Stage 1 dummy suited to 0–6 months. Choosing the stage matched to baby's age helps keep the bulb and shield proportions appropriate for their mouth.
Cleaning and care
The dummy is dishwasher safe on the top rack and steriliser safe, so you can clean it the way that suits your routine. Let it dry completely before storing, and check it regularly — cracks, tears, stickiness, swelling, thinning or discolouration are all signs it's time to replace it.
Best For
The Dr. Brown's Advantage Stage 1 Pacifier is a great option for parents who:
- Want a silicone dummy for a baby aged 0–6 months
- Prefer a symmetrical bulb that doesn't need to be oriented a particular way
- Like having a spare on hand, since it comes as a two-pack
If you're breastfeeding, it's generally suggested to wait until feeding is well established before introducing a dummy routinely, and to always consider whether baby is hungry first — rooting, hand-to-mouth movements and increasing alertness can signal a feed is needed.
Disclaimer
A dummy should never be forced, sweetened or used to postpone a feed. For sleep, follow a full safe-sleep setup and never attach clips, cords, toys or other accessories to a dummy while baby is sleeping. Inspect the dummy before each use and replace it at the first sign of wear or damage.
