When do I need to replace my baby’s FRIGG pacifier?

A FRIGG pacifier brings a special comfort and joy to both parents and their little ones in different ages, from newborn to infants. To ensure your baby continues to safely experience peace and wellbeing, you must take care of your child’s pacifier and replace it on time.

How often should a FRIGG pacifier be replaced?

Lunababy pacifiers are designed with durability in mind, however, like any cherished item, they deserve a refresh. 

Normally, experts recommend to replace your baby’s pacifiers every 4-8 weeks of use – depending on the frequency of use. Babies with vigorous suction or those who only use a single pacifier at a time may find it beneficial to replace it even sooner, possibly before the 4 weeks pass.

Beyond wear and tear, the hygienic aspect behind the pacifier replacement is that the more pacifiers age, the more bacteria can be hidden in them. For this reason, it is advised to stop using and replace the pacifier after 8 weeks – even if it seems like it is in perfect condition. 

Always check the pacifier before use! 

Prior to each use, inspect the pacifier for visible traces of use, on a daily basis. Gently pull on the pacifier nipple and look for any signs of wear, such as tooth marks, cracks, etc. If any of these are detected, it’s the right time for a replacement.

NB! If you are using natural rubber pacifiers (latex), pay attention to changes in the nipple size; if it gets bigger, take this as a signal to replace it immediately. The reason is that unlike silicone pacifiers, natural rubber ones can age even while in storage. To guarantee freshness, the recommendation is to purchase only the amount of pacifiers that you need.

How can I make the pacifier last longer? 

Taking good care of your baby’s pacifier helps to extend its life and avoid infections. Proper pacifier storage is key to preventing dirt-related wear. When on the move, it is a good idea to keep the pacifier stored in a protective lunababy pacifier case, ensuring it stays clean and ready for the next soothing use. Never forget to sanitize and sterilize your child’s binky, even put in boiled water if necessary.
