Tommee Tippee BreastLike Night Soother 2 Pack

The Tommee Tippee BreastLike Night Soother is a soft silicone dummy shaped for non-nutritive sucking — comfort sucking between feeds rather than for milk. This 2 pack of glow-in-the-dark soothers is inspired by Tommee Tippee's Closer to Nature teat, with a breast-like teat that flexes and stretches for a familiar, barely-there feel your baby can latch onto between feeds, day or night.

If you're looking for a soother that fits around a breastfeeding routine, this one is designed to help your baby move between breast, bottle and soother, and is described by the brand as designed to help reduce nipple confusion through a natural latch. As with any dummy, acceptance is individual — some babies take to a particular shape and others don't — so this is one option to try rather than a guaranteed fit.

Shaped for familiar comfort

The teat is soft to touch and made to flex and stretch, giving your baby something that feels familiar to mouth on. It has a large latch area and an improved centre of gravity, so it's designed to sit comfortably in baby's mouth for longer. The teat is described as orthodontic and vented, compressing to stay gentle on developing teeth and gums — a design intention rather than a promise about how your baby's teeth will develop.

Easy to find in the dark

The soother charges in daylight and then glows in the dark, so there's no scrambling around the nursery floor for a dropped soother at night. The brand states an approximate 9-hour glow based on charging outdoors in natural daylight for around 8 hours, which can be affected by weather, location and time of day. The glow is a locate-in-the-dark feature — it helps you find the soother, not settle your baby.

How it works

• One-piece construction: The silicone baglet and shield are co-bonded to an outer PP ring to form a single-piece soother, keeping it lightweight with no separate parts to come loose.
• Vented, compressing teat: The teat compresses as baby sucks, which is designed to be gentle on developing teeth and gums.
• Round, curved shield: The specially shaped shield curves away from baby's face, and elliptical holes improve airflow against the skin for added comfort.
• Anti-static silicone: The 100% food-grade silicone is anti-static to help repel dust and dirt.

Made from gentle materials

Each soother is moulded from 100% food-grade silicone and is BPA-free and hypoallergenic. Silicone is non-reactive by nature, so it is far less likely to irritate sensitive skin — one reason it suits babies whose skin reacts easily.

Best for

The Tommee Tippee BreastLike Night Soother is a great option for parents who:

• Are breastfeeding and want a soother with a soft, breast-like teat to offer between feeds
• Want a glow-in-the-dark soother that's easier to find during night wakes
• Prefer a lightweight, one-piece silicone design that's simple to clean
• Want a soother that works with a clip for keeping it within reach during the day

Caring for your soother

Check the soother before each use and replace it after about one month's use, or sooner if you notice any cracks, tears, stickiness, swelling, thinning or discolouration. Following the cleaning and sterilising method suited to silicone, with complete drying and storage away from strong heat and sunlight, helps it last through its intended life.

A note on safe use

These soothers are compatible with a soother clip, which is handy for keeping the dummy easy to reach while your baby is awake and supervised. Clips, cords and attachments should never be left on a baby during sleep — follow a full safe-sleep setup and keep the sleep space clear. Offer a dummy only once you've considered whether your baby is hungry, and never force it, sweeten it or modify it.

Pandylane Pro Tip: Give the soother a full day outdoors in natural daylight to charge before a night you'll want the glow — an overcast day or a spot out of direct light will shorten how long it stays visible.
