Pacifier Sizes

BIBS offers various sizes to accommodate different age groups:

- Onesize: 0+ months

- Size 1: 0+ months

- Size 2: 6+ months

- Size 3: 18+ months

Note: These are guidelines only. Most newborns prefer smaller sizes.

Nipple Shapes

BIBS provides three distinct nipple shapes, each designed for different preferences:

1. Round Nipples

- Resembles mother's soft nipple

- Promotes natural breastfeeding tongue placement

- Allows sides of the tongue to elevate and cup around the nipple

- Suitable for babies who prefer a traditional nipple shape

2. Anatomical Nipples

- Curved top for natural palate fit

- Angled tip for easy tongue placement

- Promotes tongue cupping similar to breastfeeding

- Requires less suction than round nipples

- Suitable for babies who need a more specialized shape

3. Symmetrical Nipples

- Flat drop-shaped design

- Requires less suction

- Promotes a flat tongue placement

- Presses flat against the palate

- Ideal for babies who prefer a flatter nipple shape

Key Feature: All nipples have a valve system for air release and flattening. This ventilation system pushes out air when the baby sucks, allowing the nipple to shape naturally to the baby's oral cavity.

Shield Types

BIBS offers two shield designs:

1. Round Shield

- Curves slightly away from the mouth

- Helps prevent moisture buildup

- Reduces skin irritation

2. Wide Shield

- Curves gently towards the mouth for a more secure fit

- Requires less oral strength

- Includes a dip that leaves extra room for the nose
