Pacifiers & Teethers: Materials
B’s first teether was a dewdrop. Yours: natural rubber or medical-grade silicone.
PANEL 1
B bites a dewdrop.“Squishy science.”
PANEL 2
A painted teether flakes.“Paint is not food.”
PANEL 3
B clips a pacifier with a short clip.“Safe orbit.”
Step by step
- Choose one-piece pacifiers (fewer crevices for mold).
- Natural rubber is soft; medical-grade silicone is durable and latex-free.
- Avoid soft PVC and painted toys.
- Inspect and replace at any tear or stickiness.
- Never tie a pacifier around the neck; use a short clip.
Study glowCPSC regulates pacifier construction (16 CFR 1511) to reduce choking hazards.
