Philips Avent Ultra Air Pacifier, 6-18 months, blue/green, fashion decos, 2 pack, SCF342/22

My little guy just turned 7 months old, and we've been trying to transition him to age-appropriate orthodontic pacifiers for about a month. His first few teeth have recently come through, so we wanted to make this happen as soon as possible. We initially tried another recommended brand, but it was pretty hit or miss. Sometimes he would take it, and other times he seemed to gag or repeatedly spit it out. Then we received the Philips Avent Ultra Air Pacifiers. They came in a convenient clear case that doubles as a sterilizer, and the designs were cute and on trend (my favorite is the "hello" design). Upon receiving them, I washed them and then sterilized using some water and the plastic case. The process was pretty easy and straightforward. I definitely loved the convenience! Then came the moment of truth: I presented my little man with one of the pacifiers and... he took it right away! There was no gagging or immediate spitting out. He's been using them for about a week now and he loves them. He is still a teething baby, so he tends to play with the pacifiers and chew on the plastic parts from time to time, but they soothe him better than the other orthodontic pacifiers we tried. Since he is teething pretty hard these days, the amount of drool flowing from our tiny human is never-ending. The drool that was getting trapped under his other pacifiers was causing a little bit of a rash on his chin, but the vents on these seemed to help a bit. The rash hasn't completely disappeared, but it's definitely better than it was; his skin also seems drier than it does when he's not using a pacifier. I will say that the vent holes could stand to be a little larger (maybe by making the center piece smaller), but that's a pretty minor complaint. Plus, we've finally been able to get rid of the not-so-orthodontic pacifiers he had previously adored, so these are definitely a winning product for us. Thank you to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing us with these pacifiers!

I was given this Pacifier to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel. When I first received it I was very excited for the carrying/sterilizing case. I think it's super awesome having a case I can use to keep a pacifier clean , and it's so handy to sterilize them in the microwave. I do wish the case was a smaller though-- it's made to fit both pacifiers so it takes up valuable diaper bag space. As for the pacifier, I really like the shape of the nipple! I think it's very breast-like, which is something I look for. The reason I rate this pacifier as 2 stars is because the design as a whole doesn't work well. The holes that are designed to allow airflow actually seemed to cause my baby to suck in air because they were so close to the nipple. We used these pacifiers for two days and he had a significant change in the amount of gas those days, I'm assuming from the air he would take in while sucking on these pacifiers. The pacifier was also kind of small, and his bottom lip would pop over the bottom edge, which just makes me nervous. Overall, I think this pacifier is a great thought for babies skin, but it just has too many problems to make it worth it to use.

I'm a huge fan of Avent bottles so trying these pacifiers seemed ideal. My baby is currently 10 months old so perfect for the age range of this pacifier. My little one's skin around the mouth and on her cheeks stayed drier and less chapped compared to a few of the other pacifiers she's tried in the past. The Avent pacifiers also didn't leave a mark around her mouth from the imprint of the pacifier. This was my favorite part of these pacifiers. She's not too picky when it comes to pacifiers so she took to this one just as well as she does to anything she can fit in her mouth. I prefer pacifiers without the ring handle part but I understand that it's useful using a paci holder/clip. We used the carrying case when traveling but all other times, it's just too hard to keep track of pacifiers so the case wasna used much. I will say that it's a nice bonus that the case can be used to sterilize the pacifiers. For daily cleaning, I just use hot water and dish soap but for the initial use, I sterilized using the case and also sterilized using the case when she was sick. I was given this Pacifier to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel in return for my honest feedback.

I am a mom of three beautiful children, and I have tried many pacifiers throughout the years. To my displeasure, my children have never taken a liking to any of the pacifiers that I have tried. My newest addition, my beautiful baby boy was born in September. My husband and I really wanted to try to make the pacifier work. We wanted to help our son learn how to soothe himself. My husband went to buy a few pacifiers to try, however none of them worked out. The pacifiers that we tried kept falling out of his mouth and falling on the floor so we had to constantly wash and sterilize them. We had almost given up on giving my son a pacifier, until we tried was the Philips Avent Ultra Air Pacifier. I was given this Pacifier to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel. I was not sure if my son would like it and take it, however to my surprise he took to it rather quickly. The pacifier was light and stayed in his mouth without me holding it in. The Philips Avent Ultra Air Pacifier, had a cute design and came with carrying case that you can also use to sterilize the pacifier in the microwave (which I loved!). I was also able to attach the pacifier to a paci clip thus ensuring that the pacifier wouldn't fall to the floor every time my son spit it out. My son is not yet teething, however when the time comes and he will start to drool a lot, the extra large wholes in the pacifier shield will definitely come in handy helping to keep my sons skin clean and dry.
