We have all experienced our babies gleefully throwing their pacifier on the ground and making a big game of it. And we have also experienced them screaming for their pacifier when no one can find it. That’s when a baby pacifier clip can be a lifesaver. A sturdy, strong, and durable pacifier clip can be clipped to your baby’s clothes so that they can pop it into their mouths whenever they want.

The best baby pacifier holders feature a good quality metal or plastic clip and a fabric or beaded strap. As a parent you have enough going on without having to look for a lost pacifier or constantly washing one which has been thrown on the floor. Pacifier clips keep pacifiers and teethers safe, and we hope our review of the 13 best pacifier clips will help you to find one that is safe and convenient for you and your baby.

Safety Rules And When To Stop Using A Pacifier

• Never ever leave your baby unsupervised with a pacifier clip.
• When your baby is napping or not in your direct sight, always remove the pacifier clip as there is danger of suffocation or strangulation.
• Check for wear and tear before use, especially if you have washed them. Even the best quality clips are prone to wear and tear.
• Never attach them to cords, ribbons, or belts as it can be a potential cause of strangulation.

You are strongly advised to stop using a pacifier when your baby is between 4 to 6 months of age. Though it’s common to see older babies still using a pacifier, it’s not good for them and the pacifier has kind of outlived its purpose by then. First of all, it interferes with the sleep patterns of 6-month-old babies as if they go to sleep with it in their mouth, they will cry at all odd hours of the night the moment it falls out of their mouth. Pacifiers have been said to reduce incidents of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, but it’s not relevant once the baby is between 4 to 6 months of age— in fact, it has no relevant benefits at all after that age. On the other hand, pacifiers after that age can affect the growth of your baby’s mouth and teeth, resulting in dental and orthodontic problems later in life. But while your baby is still using a pacifier, let’s tell you how to put a pacifier clip on a pacifier.

How To Put A Pacifier Or Teether Clip On A Pacifier

• For a baby pacifier clip that snaps shut, first open the snap and then wind it around the handle of the teether or pacifier. After clipping the other end to your baby’s clothes, close the snap tightly.
• For a loop style teether or pacifier clip, put one end of it through the handle of the teether or pacifier, pull the clip through the loop and tighten it, and then clip it to your baby’s clothes.
• A retractable teether or pacifier clip is basically a loop style clip but has an elastic cord that stretches as required.
