Shields

The shield is the part of the soother that will gently touch the baby’s nose. This has been designed to simulate breastfeeding. In many dummies, the shield and nipples are made separately. And then joined together while the Natursutten pacifiers are made with one single mould. Making sure there are no cracks or joints for dirt and bacteria to sit in. They make two types of shields, the butterfly and the original. In Australia, we only stock the original shield.

Styles

In Australia, we stock the two most common styles. The rounded and orthodontic styles. The style refers to the shape of the teat. The rounded style has a round shape while an orthodontic dummy has a rounded top and flat bottom.

Round pacifier vs orthodontic

Each baby is different. Some newborns take to the orthodontic while others prefer the rounded. We suggest buying one of each to see which the baby prefers.

Production

To produce the natural rubber dummy the rubber seeds are grown for approximately 18 months. It is then grafted and planted on a plantation where it’s left to mature for 7 years. After which it is tapped and the white liquid latex is collected. Every second day this process is completed until one side is finished. The alternative side of the tree is tapped with the liquid being shipped to Italy. Natursutten uses Malaysian rubber plantages. These are government-owned and controlled by the Malaysian Rubber Board.

Packaging and Production

Soy ink is used during the printing of the packaging. And different colours are used to identify the types of pacifiers. The rounded dummy comes in a mint green box while the orthodontic dummies are in a purple box. The Manufacturers have minimised the use of their packaging. Please see the instructions on the inside of the box for safe use.

Care Instructions and first use
