The NinniCo Pacifier has been carefully crafted to mirror the natural breastfeeding experience, offering unparalleled comfort and calmness to your little one. Ninni pacifiers act as the best pacifier for teeth and orthodontic health. As the pacifier closest to breast, it facilitates a natural latch, essential for transitioning between breast and bottle feeding seamlessly. BPA-free and phthalate-free Ninni pacifiers are made with 100% medical grade silicone.
Designed by two moms who couldn’t find the ideal soother they needed for their own children, our nipple-like pacifiers are made in the USA and carefully crafted to provide comfort and mimic natural feeding.
What makes the Ninni Pacifier different from traditional pacifiers is that it mimics the way breast tissue moves while baby is feeding. This is important for supporting healthy tongue movement, oral function and sucking patterns. Proper tongue motion, also known as peristalsis, is essential for a newborn to release all milk from the breast or bottle. And you can actually see this tongue movement in action with the Ninni pacifier!
Lactation Consultants often recommend Ninni pacifiers for preterm babies and others with sucking difficulties as this reflex can be developed with appropriate use. This pacifier can help develop and reinforce proper sucking movements, which improves breast and bottle feeding alike. The Ninni also promotes overall oral development, unlike other standard pacifiers.
Pro Mom Tips:
Give baby some time and practice. You may have to hold it in there for them initially, until they get the hang. The latch has time to strengthen and will get better and better. Just keep introducing it, give breaks, then bring it out again. While your finger is placed in the backside middle of the pacifier, move your finger gently around the center to see if you can get baby's top and bottom lip flanged around the outer part of the soother. This should reinforce proper oral function and good tongue movement. Continue to maneuver your finger around until you feel the suction and they begin to pull the paci back into their mouth (around the back of the hard palate) and you should see their tongue do the wave like motion on the under part of the paci.
Introduce the pacifier after a feeding. A hungry baby is going to start sucking on our pacifier, and it will trigger a familiar and natural suckling motion. Your baby will expect milk to eventually come out! When it doesn't, you might get a very unhappy camper. However, when baby is fed and needing to be soothed, that is a perfect time to give the pacifier.
Another thing you may want to try is holding baby in a breastfeeding position, when done eating, but still wants to suckle, slide it in then. Let them think they’re still latched on. Many times this works best for initial introduction- until they get used to it.
