Do I Need to Replace My Baby’s Pacifiers?

YES! Pacifiers should definitely be replaced regularly—ideally every 4 to 6 weeks (if they haven’t already gone missing—we know how that goes!). Replacing pacifiers is essential for your baby’s safety, hygiene, and comfort. At our store, we want to help you care for your little one with confidence, so here’s what you need to know about replacing pacifiers from some of the top brands we carry.

BIBS: Replace every 4 to 6 weeks. Their natural rubber latex pacifiers should be checked for any changes in surface, size, shape, or if the material becomes brittle or sticky. Always inspect for tears or stickiness before use.

FRIGG: Replace every 4 to 8 weeks depending on usage. Bacteria builds up over time, so don’t go beyond 8 weeks. If the nipple looks bigger or worn, it’s time for a fresh one.

HEVEA: Replace every 4 to 8 weeks. If you notice tears, stickiness, flaking, or reduced flexibility, swap it out. Bonus: Hevea pacifiers are biodegradable! When it’s time to say goodbye, you can compost them or put them in a food waste bin.

NATURSUTTEN: Replace every 6 to 8 weeks. These 100% natural rubber pacifiers will naturally darken and become sticky with use, signaling it’s time for a new one.

Taking care of pacifiers by replacing them on schedule helps keep your baby safe, comfortable, and happy. If you have any questions or want a recommendation, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help!
