MAM Pacifiers

Benefits of pacifiers – non-nutritive sucking

Babies are born with a strong natural sucking instinct.

All children share the need for non-nutritive sucking, which is something they develop before they are even born. The habit actually begins in the fetal stage which can often be seen on ultrasound examinations.
In the first year of life, the need to suck is enormous: even though hunger may be satisfied, a baby actively continues to suck as nothing is more relaxing. It’s no wonder that everything within reach is tested for its qualities as something to suck on.
But not everything that a baby is happy to suck on is also a suitable soothing aid. Other than mom’s breast, only pacifiers support healthy development. Those unwilling or unable to always offer their breast to calm a baby are well advised to choose a pacifier. High-quality pacifiers are anatomically correctly shaped and quality checked to ensure that the sucking becomes pure enjoyment!

Pacifiers & Breastfeeding

For many mothers, breastfeeding is one of the most intimate moments with their child. After all, breastfeeding can be a very special bonding moment for mother and baby. But what about breastfeeding when a pacifier comes into play?

Science has shown, that pacifiers and breastfeeding do not interfere with each other, as soon as breastfeeding is going well.
Dr. Alejandro G. Jenik, head of Neonatlogy at the Hospital Italiano in Buenos Aires (AR) and his team conducted an extensive study with over 1 000 mothers and babies in five different hospitals.

Once a good breastfeeding relationship is established the occasional use of a pacifier can be introduced. Babies know their territory and learn quickly to differentiate between the use of a pacifier and their need to suck in order to feed. In this way a pacifier is the ideal support when it comes to satisfying the non-nutritional urge to suck.

Most important Benefits of MAM Pacifiers

Like our MAM Pacifier Shields, the flat, symmetrical shape of each of our teats ensures that they always fit correctly in baby’s mouth – no matter how many times they are turned around.

Every MAM Pacifier is designed to provide enough room for little noses, so parents can be assured that it’s a perfect fit.

Fresh air for healthy skin – big air holes in the shield guarantee maximum air flow to avoid saliva accumulation and wetness next to baby’s skin. This helps to prevent skin reddening and soreness.

A clever curve – the curved shape of MAM Pacifier Shields is adapted to baby’s face shape to ensure optimum comfort. It is flatter for smaller babies and has a stronger curve for older babies whose facial features have become more defined.

Which pacifier is best for my baby?

Every baby is unique. To cater to the varying preferences of babies, MAM offers 5 different pacifier lines:

MAM Pacifiers are designed for healthy oral development – we work with medical experts such as dentists to ensure that our pacifiers are orthodontic, giving you peace of mind. All our pacifier teats are designed to be soft, flexible and small enough to minimize their impact on oral development, while still satisfying baby’s sucking needs.

Silicone

Silicone is synthetically manufactured, free from allergens and has no taste. The clear material looks hygienic and does not age. Its only disadvantage is that it is a little harder than latex and less bite-resistant. We have developed a unique silicone for our pacifiers: MAM SkinSoft Silicone. This is softer than other types of silicone and feels familiar to babies. Thanks to the anti-slip surface, the pacifier stays easily in baby’s mouth.

Proven effectiveness: market research confirms that 94%* of babies accept the MAM SkinSoft Silicone. (*Market research 2010–2018, tested with 1,383 babies).
