Decoding baby care myths

Myth 2: Soothers cause nipple confusion
Many believe that soothers cause nipple confusion and ruin breastfeeding. However, this is not true because using soother is being used to calm the inconsolable baby or to enhance their nasal breathing. The key is balance. Use it after your baby is latching properly and feeding well. Also, don’t replace breastfeeds when baby is hungry, keep the baby soother clean & sterilized, and use it safely. With the right approach, soother can be an essential part of making your parenting journey comfortable. For the best and safest usage, you can buy any of our silicone soothers made of 100% food grade plastic and available for 0+ and 6+ months babies in attractive green & pink color.
