We’ve been in the hunt for an all natural pacifier for quite some time now. Well, the hunt is over! The Natursutten Pacifier recently became available in the US and it’s exactly what we’ve been looking for. We’ve gotten to know the folks behind the Danish company and really like what we’ve seen. They are committed to providing safe alternatives with a high standard of quality.
Natursutten pacifiers are made from pure, natural rubber from the tree Hevea Brasiliensi. The pacifiers are extremely hygienic because they are molded in one piece. This means there is no joints or cracks where dirt and bacteria can accumulate. The pacifier shield is larger than conventional shields to help protect babies from squeezing the flexible material enough to get it into their mouth. It will also not leave marks on the baby’s face.
Natursutten’s Outstanding Features
- No artificial colors
- No chemical softeners, parabens, PVC or phthalates
- Rubber pacifiers are naturally softer than silicone
- The Natursutten company states that the protein that on rare occasions can provoke a latex allergy is eliminated during production
- When comparing natural rubber to silicone, a major advantage of all natural rubber is it’s soft flexibility, which allows it to form to the baby’s mouth.
Natursutten Pacifiers are available in two shapes and several sizes for the perfect fit! (*Note: In order to err on the side of safety, we do not recommend using Nattursuten pacifiers with children who have known latex allergies.)
By the way, there are several other BPA and Phthalate Free pacifiers:
- Silicone Gumdrop Pacifiers
- Gerber: Original, NUK and NUK Button Pacifiers
- The First Years Soothies Silicone Pacifiers, Safe Comfort, Ultra Kip
- Vice Versa Binky w/ Case
- Playtex: Binky Most Like Mother Latex Pacifier, Binky Most Like Mother Silicone Pacifier, Binky Angled Pacifier, Ortho-Pro Pacifier
- Evenflo: Mimi Soft Touch, Mimi Premium, Mimi Neo One-Piece. Evenflo’s line of Vizion, Fuzion and Illuzion pacifiers have been redesigned to be BPA free. Please be careful to choose only the new pacifiers labeled as BPA free to ensure they are the new, safer version (thanks to ZRecs for this great info on Evenflo).
As a bonus for our blog readers, we’re going to give away two new Natursutten pacifiers. We have a Round pacifier for 6 – 12+ months and an Orthodontic for 6+ months. The first two comments posted will receive a pacifier and shipping is on us! The first poster chooses the one they want.
UPDATE: Congrats to Jackie and Meeghan! They get to try out the new pacifiers first 
Thanks to everyone else for your comments. The pacifiers will be available in about a week at The Soft Landing.
