11 best dummies

The congenital sucking reflex in children dies away only by 1.5-2 years old, until this time they actively suck mother’s breast, bottle, fingers, and everything that comes to hand. To safely meet the need for sucking, a dummy fits - it is useful at home, on the road, in a public place, this small object can calm the child and provide a sense of security, but only if the child takes the nipple with pleasure.

Varieties

The sucking part of the pacifier has 3 types:

1. Classic in the form of a drop. It is convenient in that it can be given by either side and the twisting of the pacifier in the mouth will not be noticeable outwardly and tactilely - the protective disk of these is usually round. The disadvantage of the classic drop is the risk of misalignment due to the lack of need for muscle tension during sucking.
2. Anatomical dummy elongated with a flat or beveled tip. When placed in the mouth, the tongue assumes a natural position, and accordingly the baby does not interfere, sucking movements activate the necessary groups of the maxillofacial muscles.
3. Orthodontic recognized dentists and pediatricians of the most "correct". It is similar to the anatomical, but has a more ergonomic shape, with sucking all the key muscles of the mouth and jaw are activated, the correct bite is formed. The shape of the pacifier can be flat, beveled or voluminous “cherry”, the type is selected taking into account the size of the mouth and palate of the child.

In addition to the shape of the differences are in the manufacture of nipples:

1. Latex used for the manufacture of a dozen years, soft, it is suitable for weakened and premature babies - the closest in tactile properties to the skin and mother's breast. In rare cases, there is a risk of allergy due to the presence of protein in the rubber composition, the life of latex pacifiers is limited to one month due to structural changes in the material upon contact with saliva.
2. Silicone absolutely safe, it does not cause allergies, pacifiers are allowed to handle boiling water. Its difference from rubber is a more rigid structure, therefore it is more difficult to suck a pacifier, the child will need more effort for this. When teething from silicone, it is better to refuse - it is easy to bite through, it is necessary to change a pacifier at least once every 5-6 weeks.

Choosing a dummy for kids is not limited to the rationalism of parents, basically it is a process of going through different models: there will not be any interest at all, others will be taken with a bang. Experts of the EXPERTOLOGY portal found out what products the kids prefer and made the rating of the 11 best dummies. Not paid attention to the opinion of parents, dentists, pediatricians.
