A pacifier used in exceptional situations satisfies the physiological need to suck, provides a sense of security and reduces the child's stress level. A properly selected and skillfully used pacifier is a better alternative than a sucked thumb. It is easier to wean a child off using a pacifier than off a thumb, which is always within reach and its sucking is reflexive.

The pacifier appealed to both us and the child. My son accepted the pacifier without any problems, it helped to calm the little one down, especially before falling asleep.

The pacifier is comfortable, pretty, light, and fulfills its purpose. The child accepted it without any problems. The latex part changes shape slightly, but this is normal, because it is a raw material that is destroyed by saliva. It needs to be changed more often, but 4 weeks is the maximum time of use.

I like the design and colors of the pacifier. It did its job, it helped calm down. It doesn't stand out from the rest of the pacifiers I see on the market.

My daughter immediately accepted the anatomical pacifier, even though it was her first time seeing this shape. However, the pacifier occasionally fell out of her mouth, but only when she was lying on her tummy. The pacifier soothed her and allowed her to fall asleep during more challenging times, such as developmental leaps.

My daughter, who doesn't normally use a pacifier, took a liking to this one. We used it for car rides and for playtime. It fit her little hand perfectly; she loves holding it and tries to put it in her mouth herself. It's made of soft rubber, which is a plus because it's soft from the start, compared to other bouncers my older son has used.

The pacifier soothes the baby well and does not irritate it,

At first, my son had difficulty adjusting to the new pacifier, but after a few tries, he finally accepted it, but its shape didn't seem to suit him. The shield protruded from his mouth, and throughout the day, he alternated between using two pacifiers.

The pacifier is soft and gentle to the touch, creating a more natural, sucking-like sensation. Additionally, the lightweight shield fits snugly in the mouth and doesn't leave marks on the skin. Compared to another pacifier we've used before, the BIBS feels more comfortable and less "technical."

It calmed my baby down very quickly, and he fell asleep while sucking. It fit nicely in his mouth, didn't cause irritation, and was easy to clean.
