Soothers

A quality dummy does far more than soothe a crying baby. A well-designed orthodontic dummy actively supports your baby's oral and dental development and the wrong dummy, used long-term, can create pressure on the developing palate and teeth that may require correction later. Suavinex has spent decades researching and refining their dummy designs, and every teat in the range is endorsed by the Spanish Society of Paediatric Dentistry (SEOP) one of the most rigorous endorsements a dummy can receive

Why Suavinex Is Australia's Most Trusted Dummy Brand

Suavinex is a Spanish brand with over 60 years of experience in baby feeding and soothing products and their dummy range is consistently rated among the most innovative and paediatric-dentist-recommended in the world. Every Suavinex dummy sold at Beaba Australia is designed around a core philosophy: a dummy should comfort a baby while respecting and supporting their natural oral development not working against it

What makes a Suavinex dummy different:

The SX Pro teat: the signature teat across the Suavinex premium dummy range. The SX Pro is a flat, symmetrical, reversible teat with a thin neck and flat head designed to fit the natural resting position of the tongue during sucking, leave more space in the oral cavity, and provide the closest possible sensation to the natural state of not having a dummy at all. It's endorsed by the Spanish Society of Paediatric Dentistry and designed to minimise dental impact during regular use

Symmetrical and reversible: a dummy with a symmetrical teat can be inserted into your baby's mouth either way up and will always be correctly positioned a genuinely practical feature for tired parents doing night-time dummy rescues in the dark

Medical-grade silicone: all Suavinex dummy teats are made from ultra-soft medical-grade silicone with a sandblasted finish that imitates the texture and warmth of a natural nipple significantly softer and more skin-realistic than the rigid silicone teats of many standard dummy options

Breastfeeding friendly: the SX Pro teat shape is designed using the same research that informs the Suavinex Zero Zero bottle range meaning it minimises the risk of nipple confusion for breastfed babies who also use a dummy, by mimicking the natural nipple in texture, shape, and sucking mechanics as closely as possible

Ventilated shield: all Suavinex shields feature airflow ventilation holes that allow air to circulate between the dummy and your baby's skin reducing moisture build-up and minimising the skin irritation and redness that a non-ventilated shield can cause around sensitive baby mouths

Dummy Safety — What Every Australian Parent Needs to Know

Always check before use — inspect your dummy before every use for any signs of cracking, stickiness, discolouration, or deformation. Discard and replace immediately at the first sign of any damage

Replace regularly — most manufacturers recommend replacing a dummy every 4–6 weeks even without visible damage, as the silicone can weaken with repeated sterilising and daily use over time

Sterilise before first use and regularly thereafter — sterilise new dummies before first use using boiling water, steam sterilisation, or a sterilising solution. Pour boiling water over the dummy in a bowl for five minutes, allow to cool, and press out any water from inside the teat before use

Never attach a dummy to a cord around your baby's neck — always use a purpose-designed dummy clip that attaches to clothing. Never improvise with string, ribbon, or cord, which poses a strangulation risk

Follow safe sleep guidelines — a dummy given at the start of a sleep can be used from one month of age once breastfeeding is established. Follow Red Nose Australia's safe sleep guidelines for dummy use during sleep at rednose.org.au.

Begin weaning at around 2–3 years — most paediatric dentists recommend beginning dummy weaning by around two to three years of age to minimise the risk of dental and orthodontic complications. Speak with your dentist or GP for personalised guidance
