Pacifier Newborn 0+ Months Single-Pack - Orthodontic - Baby Blue

# Pacifier Newborn 0+ Months Single-Pack - Orthodontic - Baby Blue Brand: HEVEA Category: Feeding > Pacifiers Age: 0-3m, 3-6m, 6-9m This HEVEA pacifier is designed for newborns from 0 months and up, made entirely from natural rubber tapped from the Hevea brasiliensis tree. Its orthodontic teat has a flattened bottom and rounded top intended to support natural jaw and dental development, and the single-piece build has no seams or joints. The face shield is soft and flexible, with ventilation holes built in to keep airflow moving against the baby's face. Color comes from FDA-approved natural, mineral-based pigments. Before first use, the maker recommends sterilizing the pacifier by soaking it in freshly boiled water for five minutes, then cooling it and squeezing out trapped water from the teat; day-to-day, clean with warm water and mild soap rather than a dishwasher or microwave sterilizer, since high heat and harsh detergents can break down the natural rubber. Each pacifier should be pulled gently in all directions before every use to check for wear, and replaced every six to eight weeks, or immediately if splits, stickiness, or other damage appear. The set ships two pacifiers in an FSC-certified cardboard box with a plant-based window. ## Key features - Made from 100% natural rubber from the Hevea brasiliensis tree - Orthodontic teat with a flattened bottom and rounded top for jaw and dental development - Seamless one-piece construction that resists trapped water, mould, and bacteria - Flexible face shield with integrated ventilation holes for airflow - Colored with FDA-approved natural, mineral-based pigments - Plastic-free pacifier ## TrustScore: 90/100 TrustScore is Birch's proprietary rating, from 0 to 100, built from 50+ signals that reflect what actually matters to parents — safety, materials, recalls, certifications and quality. We don't take paid placements or sponsored rankings, so a score is never influenced by who pays to be seen. This product's TrustScore: 90/100, weighted across 9 criteria. - Food-Contact Material Safety: 87/100. Its products are PVC-free, BPS-free, phthalate-free, BPA-free and lead-free, going beyond a bare BPA-free claim, but this chemistry statement is made brand-wide rather than tied to a finished-product test of this specific pacifier. - Nipple Material & Residuals: 85/100. The nipple is named as natural rubber from the Hevea tree with a described deproteinization step reducing latex protein, and a latex allergy warning is provided, but no test result quantifies residual protein or nitrosamine levels for this pacifier. - Pacifier Standard Compliance: 92/100. EN1400, CPSIA and AS 2432-1991 compliance is named for the finished pacifier via independent testing agency SGS; the certificates are shared directly with retailers rather than published publicly, which withholds external verification but not the claim's credibility. - Construction & Shield Design: 91/100. The pacifier's own page describes seamless one-piece construction preventing water, mould and bacteria retention, and ventilation holes integrated into the shield; the shield itself is unpainted (Baby Blue is a solid-color rubber, not a painted decoration). - Heat & Wear Behavior: 91/100. The pacifier's own page specifies sterilizing in boiling water for 5 minutes, explicitly warns against dishwasher and microwave sterilizers because high heat breaks down the rubber, and names stickiness, splits and wear as replacement triggers. - Recall History: 95/100. We queried the CPSC recall registry across its full 1973–2026 corpus, with a control confirming pacifiers and toys are covered categories, and found no recall filed against this brand in any role. - Sizing & Replacement Guidance: 91/100. This newborn 0+ months pacifier fits the brand's stated 0-3 month size band, and offers a clear 6-8 week replacement interval with wear signs (splits, stickiness) to watch for, corroborated by the brand's separate quality-guide page's 4-6 week figure. - Certification Credibility: 92/100. The pacifier is asserted to meet EN1400, US CPSIA, and Australian AS 2432-1991 via independent testing agency SGS, a named lab and named standards for the finished product, though the certificates themselves are not published. - Transparency & Support: 93/100. The brand publishes only its Danish design origin, not where the pacifier is actually made; an outside retailer reports that HEVEA's rubber products are manufactured in Malaysia, filling in a fact the brand itself never discloses. No warranty terms or a spare-parts/repair route are published anywhere for this pacifier. ## Specifications - Material: 100% natural rubber from the Hevea brasiliensis tree - Teat Shape: Orthodontic, with a flattened bottom - Inclusions: 2 natural rubber orthodontic pacifiers - Packaging: FSC-certified cardboard box with a plant-based window - Replacement Interval: Every 6-8 weeks, or sooner if signs of wear appear ## Cleaning & Maintenance - Sterilization: Before first use, and regularly for ongoing hygiene, sterilize the pacifier by soaking it in a bowl of freshly boiled water for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool completely and squeeze out any trapped water from the teat before giving it to your child. - Daily Cleaning: Clean regularly with warm water and mild soap. Do not clean in a dishwasher or microwave sterilizer, as high heat and harsh detergents will break down the natural rubber material. - Maintenance: Always inspect the pacifier before each use by pulling the teat gently in all directions. In accordance with international safety standards, replace the pacifier every 6–8 weeks for hygiene and safety reasons, or immediately if any signs of wear, splits, or stickiness appear.
