Overview
Parents of older babies get a pacifier with an asymmetrical nipple that is flatter, slimmer and narrower to leave room for natural sucking. NUK models it on a nursing nipple and pairs it with a heart-shaped shield.
A slimmer, scooped nipple reduces pressure on the jaw and developing teeth over long use. Asymmetrical shapes only work right side up, which can frustrate sleepy babies at night.
Who it's for
Babies in the middle stage who use a pacifier for sleep are the target. Newborns need a smaller stage.
Pros and cons
- Orthodontic, scooped shape
- Reduced jaw and teeth pressure
- Shield clears the nose
- Must go in right side up
- Top rack only
- Storage case not included
Performance notes
The flat, scooped underside rests on the tongue and leaves room for its natural motion, which is what lowers pressure on teeth. The notched shield leaves the nostrils clear.
