Ninni Co Breast-like Pacifier Review

While I did not dissuade the use of pacifiers for breastfed babies in the past, I had never found one that I could fully endorse.  Now, after 32 years serving nursing mothers, I feel confident in giving the Ninni Co pacifier my full endorsement.  As a retired International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, I love the graduated shape, the breast-like soft feel, the breathable shield and the view into the baby’s mouth for suck assessment.  This pacifier is not only recommended by lactation consultants for nursing babies to transition between breast and bottle more easily, but it has also been recommended for use in suck training and oral motor development in pediatric feeding therapy. 

Why is the Ninni pacifier so highly recommended?

1. This breast-like super soft medical grade silicone pacifier mimics the tissue of the breast which encourages baby to create strong suction and a vacuum effect similar to breastfeeding.

2. For proper use, baby’s mouth needs to open wide and remain open while using their tongue to suck in a natural peristaltic wave unlike other pacier styles which encourage a pursed mouth and chomping.

3. This breast-like pacifier can be used as a training tool to help babies with oral dysfunction develop a more effective suck technique. It’s great for post-op rehab for tongue ties and cheek ties or a disorganized suck.

Here's to more natural suckling,
