FRIGG pacifier nipple guide: How to find the perfect fit

Choosing the right pacifier for your child can be tricky. Besides satisfying hunger, a pacifier creates a sense of comfort and security. The less pressure on your child’s palate, gums and jaws, the gentler the pacifier.

Let’s dive into the three main categories of FRIGG pacifiers, each with its own, unique characteristics.

Round pacifier

The classic shape that mimics the breast, offering support for a natural and correct sucking technique. This type of pacifier has proven particularly ideal for breastfed babies, as it eases the transition from breastfeeding to pacifier use.

FRIGG Round pacifiers include:

Daisy
Rope
Moon Phase
Fairytale
Night

Symmetrical Pacifier

These teardrop-shaped pacifiers feature a slightly flattened neck to ensure the right orientation in the baby’s mouth. Their shape sees to reduce pressure on the palate and gums, consequently lowering the risk of pacifier teeth.

The FRIGG Lucky encapsulates this design.

Anatomical Pacifier

Being the gentlest option, the anatomical pacifier takes on a shape that mirrors the mouth’s shape. This helps minimize pressure on the palate, gums and jaw, reducing even further the risk of pacifier teeth.

The FRIGG Butterfly promotes the anatomical shape.

All FRIGG pacifiers are designed with a valve for air release, allowing the nipple to naturally shape itself after the child’s oral cavity. This feature may cause water to enter the nipple when cleaning, however a gentle squeeze flattens the nipple, expelling excess water.

Nipple material: Medical Grade Silicone vs. Natural Rubber (Latex)

In addition to shape, the material is also crucial when deciding on a baby’s pacifier.

FRIGG pacifiers are made of Medical Grade Silicone, which is highly allergy-friendly, and Natural Rubber (Latex), a natural and flexible material that cannot be easily bitten into pieces.

Remember, each child has their individual preferences. If your child doesn’t find comfort in their current pacifier, consider exploring different nipple shapes and materials.

Did you know?

Each pacifier type has a specific nipple and shield for a reason. Understanding these shapes ensures the pacifier is correctly positioned in your baby’s mouth, supporting proper jaw and skull development and minimizing stress.
