Must-Have Baby Items for New Parents
What dummies and pacifiers do you stock?
We stock a carefully chosen selection of dummies and pacifiers from brands known for safe materials, orthodontic design, and the kind of beautiful aesthetic that parents actually want in their home. Our range includes natural rubber and silicone teats in a variety of sizes appropriate for different age groups.
Are your dummies safe for newborns?
All dummies in our range meet UK and EU safety standards and are tested to EN1400 (the specific standard for baby soothers). We stock dummies in newborn sizes from birth — always check the size recommendation on the pack to ensure you're using an age-appropriate dummy for your baby.
What is the difference between a natural rubber and silicone dummy?
Natural rubber (latex) dummies are softer and more flexible — many babies prefer the feel. They're biodegradable and free from synthetic materials, which appeals to eco-conscious parents. Silicone dummies are firmer, easier to clean, odourless, and last longer. Neither is inherently better — it depends on your baby's preference and your priorities.
What size dummy does my baby need?
Dummy sizes are typically categorised as: Size 1 (0–6 months), Size 2 (6–18 months), and Size 3 (18+ months). Using the right size matters — a dummy too large can put pressure on developing teeth and jaws. If you're unsure, come into the Huddersfield store and our team can help you choose the right size and style.
