A baby can be put at risk with an unsafe pacifier and the possibility of loose bits of silicone. That`s why they created the GumDrop. The GumDrop is a safe, soft topped pacifier that`s already been designed to fit your baby`s face - even in the face of tubes and cannulas, so you will never have to modify the shape. And its perfect for side-lying without the hard plastic bases of most other popular pacifiers. GumDrop rests comfortably against your baby`s delicate skin, offering a silicone-covered, curved surface and a familiar nipple shape that babies love. Appropriate for newborns.
