Pacifiers

FAQs

What is the difference between a pacifier, a soother, and a dummy?

They're all the same thing — just different names used in different parts of the world. In Nigeria and across West Africa, you'll often hear "soother" or "dummy"; in the UK it's typically "dummy"; in the US, "pacifier" or "binky." On Klick Africa, we use "pacifier" across our listings, but whether you're searching for a baby soother, dummy, or pacifier in Nigeria, you'll find everything you need right here

Are the pacifiers you sell safe for newborns?

Yes — safety is non-negotiable for us. All the pacifiers we stock are made from BPA-free, non-toxic silicone or natural rubber materials, and are designed with a one-piece construction to eliminate any risk of small parts detaching. We only carry products from trusted brands such as Tommee Tippee, MAM, Chicco, Philips Avent, NUK etc that meet recognised infant safety standards. Always check the age recommendation on each product to ensure it's the right fit for your baby's stage.

What is an orthodontic pacifier?

An orthodontic pacifier has a specially shaped teat — typically flat on one side — designed to support healthy jaw development and reduce pressure on your baby's forming teeth and palate. Many paediatricians and dentists recommend them as a more dental-friendly option, particularly for babies who use a soother frequently. We stock a range of orthodontic soothers suitable for different ages.

When is the right time to introduce a pacifier to my baby?

Most experts suggest waiting until breastfeeding is well established — usually around two to four weeks after birth — before introducing a pacifier, to avoid any confusion with the natural latch. That said, every baby is different, so it's always worth checking with your paediatrician. Our newborn pacifiers are sized specifically for those early weeks, making the transition as gentle as possible.

How often should I change my baby's pacifier?

As a general rule, pacifiers should be replaced every four to six weeks — sooner if you notice any stickiness, discolouration, tears, or changes in the shape of the teat. Worn pacifiers can harbour bacteria and pose a safety risk, so it's worth checking them regularly. It's always a good idea to have a couple of spares on hand so you're never caught short and you never know when one is going to go missing at the worst possible moment!

How do I clean and sterilise a baby pacifier?

Before first use, and regularly thereafter, pacifiers should be sterilised or boiled in water for a few minutes. For day-to-day cleaning, washing thoroughly with warm soapy water is sufficient. At Klick we also sell baby safe washing up liquids from known brands such as NUK, Pure Love and Dreft. It is important to always inspect the teat before each use — if it shows any signs of wear, discolouration, or damage, replace it immediately. Some of the pacifiers we stock, such as MAM soothers, come with a self-sterilising case for added convenience.
