Camomile-dummy: features, reviews, is it worth it to buy?

Perhaps, one of the invariable and main attributes of infancy can be considered a pacifier. Just a few years ago it was simply impossible to imagine a toddler without a pacifier in his mouth. Such popularity is easy to explain, because kids have a physiological and psychological need to satisfy the sucking reflex. The instinct can be abolished in two ways - to allow the child to spend at the mother's breast for as long as he likes (but is it so convenient for the woman?) Or offer him a pacifier instead.

By itself, this accessory causes a lot of controversy and opinions, some argue that the dummy is evil, others refute this point of view, and manufacturers in the meantime offer all new versions of baby nipples, each of which finds its buyer. Among the huge variety, there are several main types: classical chamomile, droplet teats for infants and orthodontic. All of them come in different sizes and shapes, are made of latex, silicone or rubber, and also differ in age restrictions.

For every taste

Selecting a baby's dummy, parents should follow several basic recommendations:

• To acquire a pacifier suitable for a child by age;
• Try different options, because one kid will only arrange a special flattened pacifier, and the other best "friend" will be a cheap pimple-daisy, which our parents used;
• To buy a pacifier it is necessary in specialized trading networks (children's shops, drugstores) where for quality of the goods watch very attentively and the risk to get falsified is reduced to a minimum.

Authoritative research of specialists promoting natural feeding, argue that the child basically does not need a pacifier and no, even the most modern, nipple is not able to replace my mother's breast. In addition, having accustomed to this accessory, parents risk starting a mechanism of reducing lactation or even stopping it.

However, if breastfeeding is not possible on demand, or the baby is fed from a bottle, a dummy is vital for him. When the question arises about its acquisition, many parents are lost and do not understand the difference between the newfangled nipples and their cheaper analog (dummy-daisy).

Originally from childhood

What is the main difference between a simple nipple for 20-40 rubles from those whose price starts from 300-400 rubles, and sometimes can reach unreasonable values? Modern manufacturers offer products from modern material - silicone, which, indisputably, is durable, non-toxic and safe for children, including newborns.

The main arguments of public relations managers are the following: modern pacifiers have such a shape, due to which children do not distort the bite, the probability of swallowing air during sucking decreases, which eliminates the problem of increased gas production and pain in the tummy, besides, the silicone nipple will last about 2-3 Months.

Supporters of traditional children's dummies prove that children are more like a chamomile dummy. Most often they are made of natural material - latex, which is pleasant to the touch, natural and is not afraid of the first teeth of babies. However, its disadvantages are a more frequent replacement (the service life should not exceed 1 month), a simple round shape and a tendency to stretch.

Experience shows that the theory that children who sucked a round pacifier with a flap in the form of flowers, did not become all completely crooked and lisping. Moreover, our babushki and parents simply did not know the alternative, because the dummy-daisy (the photo clearly shows what kind of product) was the only version of the nipple.

Expert opinion

No matter how zealously they defended their opinion, the most important critics and testers of goods for babies were, there are and will be parents and their children. So, the dummy-daisy, reviews about which many "mum" forums and blogs are full of, is the undisputed favorite of kids.

Moreover, often children are so used to the round soft nipple of latex that they do not want to see any other. Sometimes even the question of ordinary hygiene, which requires a periodic replacement of one dummy for another, becomes a real problem. Kids feel the substitution and categorically oppose innovation, demanding back their favorite entertainment.

Camomile buttercups

What kinds are the notorious "flower" nipples? In fact, their product range is not that great. Purely visually, they differ from each other with colored shields, executed in the form of chamomile.

In addition, the market includes a dummy-daisy with a cap, which will not be superfluous, because it makes it possible to hide the nipple at a time when it is not necessary for the baby. There are night and day options. In the first case, the scutellum is absolutely smooth. But in the daytime pacifier a ring is provided for which a mother or baby can take an accessory, in addition, a special chain with a hook is attached to it, which makes life easier for parents, because the nipple will not fall to the floor or ground during a walk.

Security - above all

The main advantage of this type of dummy is that the child can not bite off a piece of latex, but the material itself, from which the product is made, does not differ in durability. It is often necessary to check it for defects (cracks, deformation, softening), it is enough to pull the end of the nipple.

In addition, latex requires more thorough hygienic care, the dummy should often be washed in hot water with the addition of a safe detergent, which is also washed off in a large quantity of hot running water.
