Excellent Soothers, 18 July 2013

When my son was born he had to spend 15 days in the neo natal unit he was being fed through an ng tube the nurse said about giving him a soother when he feeds so he associates sucking when feeding the hospital gave him a soother like this i was really impressed with it as it was one piece no parts that could break off and the shape is much better than most soothers to stop confussion when we were able to breast feed. would recommend.

Unsuitable substitute, 21 July 2015

I bought these soothers in high hopes that they could replace THAT other brand which cost a fortune as they are imported from US. My baby is breastfed and love the other brand but I found it annoying that I wasn't able to attach a clip and when one got lost I was most upset.

I ordered these thinking they looked almost identical plus it had a space to attach a clip and at half the price plus free delivery I was hoping for the best.

Unfortunately these are not a good replacement. The teet although made from silicone is much more rigid and where the other brand has a matt silky feel these are hard and shiny. My baby was not fooled and would not take these. Also due to the shiny finish I found they attract an abnormal amount of dust and lint simply just by being out of packaging and since these don't come with a box this is not great.

Other parents might find that their...

I got these because my son is 3 months on and needed a bumpy from 3 months +. When they arrived I was supplied at how small the teat was. My son started off with the 0-3 soother and the teat is a bigger and ester for him to hold in his mouth. He is 3 months and still uses a new born soothe. They are ideal for breastfeeding mums like myself.
