Pacifier – it can't be that difficult, can it?

When the family grows, you often need to invest in a baby starter package with all the necessary equipment for the little one. Most people probably remember to buy diapers, some clothes, coffee – for the long nights and early mornings – and of course a Pacifier! But most people may not be aware of the considerations you should make when buying something as simple as a Pacifier. When it comes to a Pacifier with a Pacifier clip, very few people know that the length of the Pacifier clip can be vital to consider when shopping for baby equipment. Because how long may a Pacifier clip actually be, and why is it so important?

First, let's make it clear that a Pacifier clip – or a pacifier clip – is a strap that keeps the pacifier with the child. It is attached to the pacifier and can be fastened to the child's clothing so that the pacifier does not disappear or fall on the ground if the child spits it out. A super practical and smart tool for parents who want to keep track of their baby's pacifier. But if you get a Pacifier with a Pacifier clip, you should pay attention to the length of the Pacifier clip.

This can be crucial in determining whether your child may potentially be at risk of choking due to the Pacifier clip. Children can sometimes be lively and energetic, and if the Pacifier clip is too long, there is a risk that the child may get the strap wrapped around their neck. It is therefore important to consider the length of the Pacifier clip when shopping for the baby package.

How long may a Pacifier clip be?

The Danish Safety Technology Authority states that a Pacifier clip should not be longer than 22 cm to prevent the child from getting it wrapped around their neck and choking on it. The Pacifier clip often has a clip permanently attached at the end, which is used to fasten the Pacifier clip to the child's clothing. According to the Danish Safety Technology Authority, the 22 cm does not include the clip, but only the actual length of the chain.

If it is a Pacifier clip with a permanent fastening device from the pacifier itself to the chain, for example an O-ring, a MAM adapter or a self-crocheted ring, this device must be included in the 22 cm. This is because if the pacifier falls out, the Pacifier clip suddenly becomes longer and can therefore pose a choking hazard. A Pacifier clip with a ring thus requires a little extra attention.

Be extra critical when shopping for a Pacifier clip!

Now that you know the importance of the length of a Pacifier clip, you might think that it would only be possible to buy straps in the correct length. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The Danish Safety Technology Authority has carried out a handful of tests on various Pacifier clips and pacifier clips, and unfortunately it turns out that very few chains actually meet the requirements. As parents, you should therefore be extra critical when examining the different options on the market. If you are shopping for a Pacifier clip, you should make sure that the strap length stays within the recommended measurements.

Another thing that may be relevant to consider when getting a Pacifier clip is the design of the chain itself. Pacifier clips come in many cute and beautiful designs with various colourful decorations and pendants, and it is easy to fall in love with the many lovely variants. But the many small parts can also pose a choking risk if they are freely hanging or of a size that fits into a baby's mouth. Therefore, you should be careful not to get carried away by the many cute designs. When it comes to a Pacifier clip with a pacifier, functionality is what matters most!

Last but not least, you can check whether the pacifier with accompanying strap that you are looking at has ventilation holes in the chain and clip. With ventilation holes, you are ensured that the child can still get air in the event that they put the parts in their mouth. Likewise, the clip should be made of a material that cannot break, so that the child does not risk eating the small parts.

Pacifier clip or not?

With the many areas where you need to be extra attentive when shopping for a pacifier clip, it is easy to start thinking that it is better simply not to get one at all. If you cannot manage the many considerations involved in getting a Pacifier clip, you can easily do without one and instead simply buy a larger supply of pacifiers.

However, the strap also has many good functions and is a super practical tool. Therefore, there is no need to refrain from getting a Pacifier with a chain if you have been critical during the purchase. The Pacifier clip can save you from having to invest in lots of pacifiers. Likewise, it is nice to keep track of the pacifier when you are on the go. When the pacifier is fastened to your baby, you avoid it suddenly disappearing along the way, leaving you without the pacifier. Such a situation is not fun, and here the pacifier clip can be a lifesaver.

Find the best pacifier clips!

If you have not been scared off and still see the many advantages of a pacifier clip, you can now, on an informed basis, begin your search for the best chain for your child's pacifier. The selection is large, and pacifier clips are available in all designs and colours. At Mammashop.dk, all kinds of accessories for your child are available, and there are also several Pacifier clips to choose from. Here, you can find both the perfect Pacifier for your baby and a matching Pacifier clip.

No Pacifier clip without a Pacifier

The Pacifier clip is of course unnecessary if you do not have a Pacifier, preferably actually a couple of them. Here too, there are a few things that you as a new parent need to be aware of. For example, you should be critical of the material the pacifier is made of, so you avoid unnecessary chemicals.

Latex is one of the most common materials used to make pacifiers, while you should avoid pacifiers with a shield made from the plastic type polycarbonate. The shape of the pacifier is also important, and recent research indicates that the round pacifier is the most breastfeeding-neutral, as the pacifier has the same shape as a nipple. However, it may vary from child to child which type of pacifier they prefer, and therefore it is normal to get a small selection of the different types so that you can find out what works for your child.

At Mammashop.dk, you can find many different pacifiers, especially a wide selection of the recommended round pacifiers. They are available in several different colours and sizes.

One of the most popular pacifiers on the market is the well-known MAM pacifiers. A Pacifier from MAM is known for fitting well in the mouth and being fitted with a shield that protects the skin in the mouth. MAM pacifiers are available with a name on them, and you will also find straps for MAM pacifiers. Your Pacifier clip can be attached to the MAM pacifier with a rubber ring for Pacifier clips. Other popular pacifiers include BabyNova pacifiers, which are known for being robust and are available in both latex and BPA-free silicone.

Once you have sorted out the purchase of the pacifier, the final step is to remember to boil the pacifier before using it.

Get the baby package ready before the little one is born

Pacifier and Pacifier clip are not the only things you need to get in connection with expanding the family. As mentioned, a lot of equipment is needed when the family gets bigger. It can be smart to have the very basic baby package ready before the birth, so you are prepared when you become parents. In addition to diapers, washcloths and a changing table, it is a good idea to have bought a little clothing for the little one.

A breast pump is nice, so mum can express milk and store it in a bottle. Likewise, most new parents are delighted if they have already purchased both a baby car seat and a pram before the birth. A changing bag can be useful for keeping track of all the baby equipment when you head out for the first time. You will find all the baby gear you need at Mammashop.dk.

The list of baby equipment is long, and no matter how hard you try, most people will probably have forgotten one or two things on the list. The most important thing, however, is to have the essentials ready, then you will figure out the rest along the way. In any case, you are now ready for one of the biggest baby must-haves, namely a pacifier - preferably with a Pacifier clip!
