Mom, Here Are the Best Tips for Choosing a Baby Pacifier

A baby pacifier is safe to use and offers many benefits for your little one, such as helping them fall asleep more easily, soothing them when they’re fussy, and more. However, with so many pacifier (baby’s teat) and baby bottle (feeding bottle) products available on the market, parents need to be extra careful in choosing the safest option.

Tips for Choosing the Best Baby Pacifier

Before purchasing a pacifier for your baby, make sure to inspect every part of it carefully. Check for any tears, fading of the surface color, or loose parts. A damaged pacifier should not be used as it could pose a danger to your baby.

Always check if the pacifier has been recalled from the market. Using recalled products can put your baby’s safety at risk. Stay updated with the latest product safety information to ensure your baby’s pacifier is still safe to use.

Choose a pacifier that stays securely in place and does not fall out easily when used by your baby. Pacifiers made from solid plastic materials are generally safe. If you're unsure, consult your pediatrician for recommendations.

Make sure to select the right pacifier size according to your baby’s age. Pacifier sizes vary depending on age groups, and each brand typically provides age recommendations.

A pacifier that’s too large may cause discomfort, while one that’s too small could become a choking hazard. That’s why it’s crucial to choose a pacifier size that fits your baby’s age.

How to Properly Care for Baby Bottles and Pacifiers

To ensure that baby teats remain clean and safe to use, there are several basic care guidelines to follow. Proper care helps keep the pacifier germ-free and safe for your baby.

First, inspect the pacifier before giving it to your baby. Look closely for cracks in the rubber or plastic parts, as these can harbor bacteria and dirt. If the pacifier is damaged, discard it and replace it with a new one.

When it's time to clean the pacifier, use warm water mixed with a few drops of baby-safe soap and a soft cloth to wipe the surface. You can also use a bottle brush if needed.

Avoid using harsh chemicals to clean the pacifier, and never boil it in hot water. These actions can damage the material or make it more prone to bacterial growth.

After cleaning, rinse the pacifier with tap water and allow it to dry completely before reuse. When storing, keep pacifiers away from direct sunlight or other heat sources to prevent bacterial buildup on the rubber or plastic parts.

Ideally, store pacifiers in an airtight container when not in use to keep them clean and free from dust and dirt.

Why Choose Baby Bottles and Pacifiers from Hegen?

Moms don’t need to think twice when choosing Hegen Indonesia’s baby pacifiers and feeding bottles. Why Hegen? Because it offers so many advantages. Let’s take a closer look!

• All Hegen bottles are made from PPSU (Polyphenylsulfone), an FDA-compliant material that combines the strengths of glass and plastic. It’s BPA-free and lightweight.
• The innovative Press-to-Close, Twist-to-Open (PCTO) mechanism allows you to seal and open the bottle easily without spills.
• Unlike the usual round design, Hegen bottles have a square shape, making milk storage more space-efficient and easy to stack. This design also helps train your baby’s motor skills as they learn to grasp the bottle.
• Hegen bottles are eco-friendly and safe for storing breast milk without risk of oxidation.
  
• The anti-colic ventilation system in Hegen Feeding bottles minimizes excessive air intake, helping prevent stomach discomfort. This anti-colic feature is integrated into the nipple, making it easy to use and clean.
• Hegen teats mimic the natural shape of a mother’s nipple, helping babies avoid nipple confusion.
• The Hegen Teat is asymmetrically designed with a 20-degree tilt to reduce the risk of milk backflow. During feeding, the bottle needs only a slight tilt, preventing the need for your baby to strain their neck, ensuring every drop of milk is consumed.
• Hegen bottles are a long-term investment in your baby’s health. They can be used for up to 6 months (according to international standards) as milk bottles, and then repurposed for solid food, snacks, or drinking bottles—provided they remain crack-free and leak-proof.
