    Hi,

    Our 2 yr old still has a dummy for sleeping and when she is upset. She has always had the silicone nuk starlight pacifiers. Does anyone know if this one is ok? Is it different for different countries? I was of the understanding that the nuk products were all made in Germany.

    Hers are quite old (at least 4-6mths, eek i know, Im just having trouble finding new ones where we live in the larger size, we do have a handful of them tho and I dispose of them if they become damaged.)

    We are in Australia and for some reason I cannot get through to their website (it keeps telling me Im not from the US) so Im unsure as to who I can ring to double check.

    Thanks
    Michelle

    Hi Robin,

    The location of the BPA varies from one pacifier style to the next. Some pacifiers have BPA in the handle, while others have BPA in the shield.
