Finding the Perfect Fit for Your Little One
At Pail Rabbit, we know that every baby is different. Choosing the right FRIGG pacifier size ensures your baby’s comfort, safety, and healthy oral development.
Size 1 (0–6 Months)
Specifically designed for newborns and younger infants. The nipple is shorter (2.7 cm) to prevent triggering the gag reflex while providing the soothing feel babies crave.
Size 2 (6–18 Months)
As your baby grows, their palate changes. Size 2 features a slightly longer nipple (3 cm) that provides more surface area for older infants to settle effectively.
| Feature | Size 1 | Size 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Age Range | 0–6 Months | 6–18 Months |
| Nipple Length | 2.7 cm | 3 cm |
| Shield Diameter | 4.5 cm | 4.5 cm |
| Best For | Newborns | Toddlers |
When to Level Up?
If you notice your baby is constantly spitting out their Size 1 or seems to be sucking "too hard" to keep it in, it’s usually a sign they are ready for the extra length of a Size 2.
Safety Note: Always inspect your pacifiers daily. Regardless of size, we recommend replacing all natural rubber pacifiers every 4–6 weeks for hygiene and safety.
Latex vs. Silicone: Which should you choose?
Both materials are incredibly safe and high-quality, but they offer a different tactile experience for your baby. Here is the breakdown to help you decide:
| Feature | Natural Rubber Latex | Medical-Grade Silicone |
|---|---|---|
| Feel | Soft, flexible, and mimics the warmth of skin. | Firmer, smooth, and holds its shape perfectly. |
| Durability | Natural material that expands over time with use. | Very durable; does not expand or change shape. |
| Care | Requires "scald" sterilisation only (no microwaves). | Dishwasher safe and heat-resistant. |
| Best For | Babies who prefer a natural, "squishy" feel. | Parents looking for easy cleaning and longevity. |
Pail Rabbit Tip: Most babies develop a preference early on. If your little one is currently using a specific material, we recommend sticking with it to ensure they stay settled!
