Pacifiers are one of those things as a mom that I (or my mom) just couldn’t live without. I, as well, am a bona fide pacifier user admittedly till the age of five. Yeah I know, that’s really old but there’s nothing wrong with me today. Except for the fact that I love to chew on pen caps, bottle tops, plastic and the lot when available but it’s not a fixation and I don’t have to do. So I’m fine, thanks for asking, now where’s my pen cap??

Anyways, back to my kids…

When my oldest was born, I was worried my little Luci would become a thumb sucker if I didn’t offer a binkie right away. What did I know, she was my first and I didn’t know what to expect. So every time she cried I gave her a pacifier and she latched onto that thing like it had been doused in a delicious liquor. The result, she had it till she was two when she “broke it”, i.e. I cut it and we were done. The transition could have been much harder on her but it was most difficult on me because I didn’t have a soother for her anymore.

As you can tell from my upbringing and my daughter’s love of the pacifier, I’m totally not against it as a soothing method. In fact, all three of my kids have used a pacifier for at least 5-6 months of their lives. Luci was a bit more attached to hers but the boys liked theirs for car rides and occasionally at home, but they never used them at night and gave them up on their own. It was great and they were also life savers in those times when we were in a quiet restaurant or event.

When Difrax contacted me to see if we would like to review some of their ortho pacifiers, I thought what a great opportunity to be able to test out new binkies for our youngest when he arrives. They come in great colors and styles for either a neutral look, or a girl or boy. It’s no longer the drab light tan color nipple with the white plastic that you must choose from. The modern shape and design is great for even the hippest young one. You can totally see from the picture that these are not your momma’s (or yours) pacifiers of the past.

The shape of the small Difrax Pacifier is designed for babies from 0-6 Months. The shield and nipple are designed to meet the needs of infants and provide soothing comfort while the unique shape keeps the nose free. There are also holes on the bottom to allow extra air in to help prevent skin irritation around the mouth.

Pacifiers have come quite a long way from when we were kids when there was really only one brand that everyone depended on. Now with the ortho feature in the Difrax pacifiers, you don’t have to feel like you are messing up your kids’ teeth or jaw because these pacifiers aid in development of these tiny muscles.
