Oral soothers and pacifiers are some of the best selling products within the baby and nursery industry. The soother market is estimated to be worth around $400 million, with 70% of parents around the globe buying soothers for their children. Oral soothers and pacifiers are invaluable items for a child’s early years. These little products help to relax and comfort children, providing a safe object to suckle on and fulfilling their instinctual urge to self-soothe. As such, the shape of the soother is designed to replicate the mother’s nipple, with a soft smooth teat that has a skin-like feel.

Why are oral soothers bestsellers?  

Young children often have a strong sucking reflex that comes instinctively to them. Sucking has a soothing effect that helps to calm babies, as it simulates the action of sucking on their mother’s nipple. Children may rely on self-soothing in stressful situations, such as visiting new environments or meeting new people - but they may also do it on a day to day basis while watching TV or sleeping. Often, children will suck their thumb - but this can lead to skin irritation, as well as unaligned teeth, and may lead to children ingesting germs and bacteria. They may also suck on blankets, toys and other items, which can also potentially be unhygienic or present a choking hazard. Therefore, providing them with a safe alternative is essential. 

Soothers and pacifiers are very popular with parents and their children. A soother may come in handy for keeping children calm during stressful visits to the doctors or long trips in the car. They can also be useful at night for calming baby down enough for them to drift off to sleep. Many soothers are designed to be safe to use from birth, so parents are able to encourage and harness their child’s instincts to self-soothe immediately. It’s also believed that using soothers while sleeping might help reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). These inexpensive products are available in different styles and materials to better suit the needs of the consumer.
