Review: Avent Freeflow Pacifier 0-6 months



The Philips AVENT Freeflow pacifier offers a durable soothing solution for infants up to six months old. Nipples are made of odor-free silicone, which is easy to sterilize and resists becoming sticky or misshapen. The special shape of these BPA Free pacifiers allows for healthy development of a baby's palate, teeth, and gums.

Promotes Orthodontic Health
The collapsible nipple works with the natural development of a baby's teeth and gums. The nipple is flat and drop-shaped, respecting the shape of your baby's palate even when the pacifier is positioned upside down in the mouth.

Durable, Taste-Free Silicone
The Freeflow pacifier is made of durable silicone. Silicone is taste and odor free, so your baby is less likely to reject it. Silicone nipples are strong and resist becoming sticky, discolored, or misshapen.

Secure Ring Handle for Quick Retrieval
The pacifier features a security ring, allowing for quick retrieval or removal and making it easy for your baby to grasp. Six holes in the pacifier cap allow for greater airflow, reducing the possibility of irritation on your baby's face. The Freeflow pacifier is BPA free.

Easy to Sterilize
Sterilizing these pacifiers is simple--put them in a Philips AVENT steam sterilizer or boil for five minutes. Philips AVENT pacifiers and their caps are also dishwasher safe. Add one of the included snap-on caps after cleaning to keep the pacifier sterile until it's needed.

My Review:
Pros:

  • The shape of the pacifier doesn't interfere with baby's breathing
  • Translucent clear colour makes it easy to clean and spot dirt
  • Has a snap-on protective cap which is great for hygiene purposes
  • Easy to put and take out from baby's mouth
Cons
  • The nipple is not that fantastic
Overall: This is the first pacifier that Baby yo used. However, he is not the pacifier type and more of a finger-sucking type. It was together in a set that came with the sterilizer which was given to me. He used it here and there when he liked it but it was good that he wasn't attached to it much because it maybe a bad habit when he grows older. He used it more to fall asleep rather than "sucking purposes". At the end, he didn't care much for it after a month or so. 

Rating: 3/5

Tips: Do not be afraid to offer your baby a pacifier specially if you're baby is always fussy. You could always use it for soothing purposes specially when you're outdoors and scared to be stared at when the baby starts crying. Try looking for clues as to why your baby cries rather than giving it to the him as soon as he yells because this encourages a bad habit to break. It may also affect your bond in understanding your baby.
