Bebina Pacifier Clip - Wood - Brown

Bebina Silicone Pacifier Age: +0 M

A one-piece silicone pacifier for newborn — soft, soothing, and easy to keep clean. Bebina is a regional baby-care brand carrying a complete feeding-and-soothing range — feeding bottles, weaning bottles, silicone pacifiers, pacifier clips, baby spoon-feeders, a medicine dispenser and a manual nasal aspirator.

- Single-piece silicone construction — no joint where mould or bacteria can hide
- Orthodontic teat shape — flat underside that supports natural tongue and palate development
- Ventilation holes in the shield — reduces irritation and the risk of skin marks
- BPA-free; medical-grade silicone

Benefits:
- One-piece soft silicone — most hygienic design (no separate handle/teat seam)
- Lightweight — won't pull on a baby's mouth
- Orthodontic shape — flat tongue side, rounded palate side
- Ventilation holes in the shield to let skin breathe
- Suitable from newborn
- Boilable, sterilisable, dishwasher safe

- Soothing between feeds for fussy babies
- Sleep — sucking soothes most babies and helps them settle
- Pediatric/SIDS guidance: pacifier use during sleep is associated with reduced SIDS risk in babies under 1 year (after breastfeeding is established at 4 weeks)
- Distraction during routine vaccinations or doctor visits

How to Use:
Sterilise before first use (boil 5 min, or steam steriliser, or cold-water tablets). Offer the pacifier to baby; some babies take to it immediately, others need a few days. Don't dip it in honey, sugar, or food (encourages tooth decay later). Sterilise daily for newborns; for older infants, hot soapy water + rinse is generally sufficient.

Precautions:
- Inspect the pacifier before EVERY use — pull gently on the teat to check it's not loose or torn
- Replace at any sign of damage, discolouration, or stickiness; typically replace every 1-2 months
- Never tie a pacifier around baby's neck — only use a designed pacifier clip with strap under 22 cm
- Don't dip in sugar/honey — risks tooth decay (and honey is unsafe for babies under 1 year)
- For breastfeeding mothers: introduce the pacifier only AFTER breastfeeding is well established (~4 weeks) to avoid nipple confusion
- Sucking on a pacifier past age 2-3 may affect tooth alignment — wean gradually

Q&A:
Q: Will it cause nipple confusion if I'm breastfeeding?
A: Possibly, in the first 4 weeks. Most pediatricians recommend waiting until breastfeeding is well established (good latch, steady weight gain) before offering a pacifier. After that, most babies move easily between breast and pacifier.

Q: How often should I replace it?
A: Every 1-2 months minimum, OR at any sign of: cracks, tears, change in colour, or sticky/swollen silicone. Silicone degrades with sterilising and use; old pacifiers can crack and become a choking hazard.

Q: Will it ruin my baby's teeth?
A: Short-term use is fine and the orthodontic shape is designed to minimise dental impact. Long-term use (past 2-3 years) can affect tooth alignment. Wean off gradually around age 1-2; full weaning by age 3.
