BIBS Dummy Size 2: Top Picks for the Right Fit

As your baby grows, their needs change, and that includes the soothers they find comforting. If your little one is around the six-month mark, you may be considering the move to a BIBS dummy size 2. Making this transition is a common step for parents, but with various styles and colours available, choosing the right one can feel like a significant decision.

This guide is designed to help you navigate the options. We will walk through the key features of the BIBS Size 2 range, offer some practical selection advice and present our top recommendations to help you find a soother that suits both your baby's needs and your family's style.

A Quick Guide to Choosing Your BIBS Dummy

Before exploring specific products, here are a few points to consider when selecting a soother for your growing baby.

Understanding Size 2

The BIBS dummy 6 months recommendation is based on the typical development of a baby's palate and sucking reflex. Size 2 is specifically designed for infants aged approximately 6 to 18 months. The teat is slightly longer and larger than Size 1 to provide continued comfort and support for their developing mouth structure.

The Appeal of Natural Rubber

Many parents are drawn to a natural rubber dummy for its material properties. The latex used in BIBS soothers is a 100% natural material derived from Hevea trees. It is soft, flexible and has a texture that many babies find mimics the feel of a mother's breast, which can be particularly comforting. As you would expect from a premium Scandinavian baby dummy, the entire range is also a BPA-free soother, ensuring it is free from PVC and phthalates.

Design and Practicality

Beyond the materials, consider the practical features. The iconic BIBS shield is designed to curve away from the face, allowing air to circulate and helping to prevent skin irritation around the mouth. For parents navigating nighttime wake-ups, a glow in the dark dummy can be a game-changer, making it easy to locate in a dark cot without disturbing your baby's sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I switch to a BIBS dummy size 2?

BIBS recommends Size 2 for babies from 6 to 18 months. However, all babies are different. If you notice your baby is struggling to keep their Size 1 soother in their mouth or seems to prefer a larger teat, it may be a good time to transition.

How do I clean a natural rubber dummy?

Before the first use, sterilise the soother by placing it in a clean bowl and pouring boiling water over it for 5 minutes. For daily cleaning, wash it with warm water and mild soap. Squeeze any trapped water from the teat and allow it to air dry. Do not sterilise in a microwave, as this can damage the natural rubber.

How often should you replace a BIBS dummy?

For both safety and hygiene, it is recommended to replace any soother every 4-6 weeks. You should also inspect the dummy before each use by pulling the teat in all directions and discarding it at the first sign of damage or weakness.
