MAM Original Newborn Pacifier 0–2 Months : Buyer’s Guide for Parents

Explore my experience with the MAM Original Newborn Pacifier 0–2 Months—soft, breathable, safe, and designed for newborn comfort and easy sterilizing.

I did not expect that there are so many details that are important when I first started to shop to buy a pacifier to my new baby. I was not in search of something cute . I wanted something that would fit a 0-2 month baby, would feel comfortable in the mouth, and would not be painful to delicate skin. That is the reason why I ultimately chose the MAM Original Newborn Pacifier 0-2 Months. Since its inception, I noticed that it is a uniquely designed product offered to the tiniest babies and not a scaled-down version of a typical pacifier.

I was a new parent and I wanted to be sure that whatever I was offering to the mouth of my baby was safe, non-hurtful and to be of purpose. That peace of mind was immediately provided to me by the pacifier. Its size, the softness and the shape all appeared to be designed in such a way that they were baby friendly in terms of being comfortable as well as developing in the baby. I did not want to have to deal with large nipples, saliva accumulation or involved cleaning schedules, and this MAM Original Newborn pacifier was a welcome relief in that regard.

Features

Design & Size

The first thing I liked about the MAM Original Newborn Pacifier 0-2 Months is that it is really small and suitable to be used by a baby. Many brands refer to the pacifiers as newborn even when they are still large and target 3-month-old babies rather than infants. This one has an additional small nipple and shield that did not engulf the mouth and face of my baby. This settled me down, knowing that it would not cause me to gag or feel uncomfortable since it was just in proportion to the size of my baby.

The other small design aspect that I found impressive was the fact that it fits under the nose perfectly. That is more important than parents may think as it aids breathing during sucking. Other pacifiers protrude into the nostrils or lie too near the nose, however, this one does not protrude too high hence allowing the airways to stay open. Its small size also caused it to feel lightweight and less intrusive and I could tell that my baby was not struggling to have it.

Silicone Nipple & Acceptance

The silicone nipple proved to be one of the largest factors that made my baby become so receptive to this MAM Original Newborn pacifier. Right away, I saw that it was not like the silicone of old, that can be either excessively smooth or stiff. It had a skin-like feel that was silky and this assisted in replicating the natural feel of the breast and I could notice that it did not leave my baby confused during the feeding time. Being BPA and BPS free I also felt safe about the use over time.

In day-to-day usage, the nipple shape was also a difference in the symmetrical shape. I liked that there was no right side up, since at 3 in the morning or in a car, the last thing I needed was to pick up a pacifier and turn it to the right orientation. I could stick it in the mouth of my baby, or she could do that by herself, but it would always fit perfectly. That minimized frustration not only to her, but to me when holding her together in a hurry.

Shield & Breathability

The curved shield is another feature that I came to like more by using it regularly. It does not rub against the cheeks and the shape is in accordance with the natural line of the face, which prevents the appearance of pressure marks. The shield is not heavy, and even when the baby lies down, on his or her side, or rotates his or her head, it does not push against the skin. That comfort factor was actually demonstrated when my baby slept with it and could not even wake up due to a feeling that he felt.

The holes in the ventilation proved to be very essential in skin health. I found that certain pacifiers are moistness retaining and lead to redness or rashes around the mouth. In the case of MAM Original Newborn Pacifier, the airflow was able to pass through the shield to avoid irritation. The skin of my baby did not get wet even when used longer and I was not worried about the drool or the chaffing of the lips and cheeks.

Sterilizing & Hygiene

The self-sterilizing instance has likely saved me more time than I knew that it would. I did not have to boil water or purchase a different, sterilizing, device, I merely poured in a little water into the case and placed it in the microwave oven during three minutes. It simplified it to extraordinary levels so that keeping things clean was not a matter of additional effort. I would use it at home and even when traveling and that flexibility was a huge difference in my regular schedule.

The case is also an option of safe storage as I drop it in the diaper bag or purse. I did not need to be afraid of lint, dust or other objects sticking on the nipple when we were on the run. It also turned the aspect of pacifier hygiene into a stress free aspect of taking care of the baby rather than another thing I needed to remember.

Safety & Materials

The fact that the pacifier is 100 percent BPA-free and BPS-free made me positive at the very beginning. I am so mindful of what I put in my babies mouth, more so on the initial few months when they are still as delicate as ever. The fabric is soft and strong and it keeps it strong even upon sterilizing and day-to-day use.

Another aspect that I liked was that the whole design is compliant with US safety standards. The building does not feel weak and I never feared the parts breaking away or getting damaged. Given the amount of time newborns spend with pacifiers during the day, both quality and safety were not negotiable to me, and this one fulfilled both the criteria.

My Personal Experience

The first time I offered this pacifier to my baby, I was quite doubtful as she had already turned down two other brands. I thought we will have the same problem but to my surprise, she was hooked to it in a few seconds. I saw at once that she was not straining it out, nor was she messing about with her tongue. This sucker felt softer than the previous models that we had tested, and that is why it appeared more acceptable and familiar.

The days quickly passed and I realized myself grabbing this MAM Original Newborn pacifier at each and every moment because it actually worked at calming her down. It helped her to be easier to settle whether in car rides, diaper changes or shortly before naps. I also liked the fact that it did not leave any marks on her face and did not appear to be irritating her skin. I was very pleased to have made such a considered choice as it was a combination of comfort, safety, and ease.
