New pacifier design encourages motor skills

     Binxy™, a new pacifier, is mom-invented, dishwasher safe, and will be made in the United States using materials approved by the FDA.  Mother’s Cubbard, the manufacturer, reports Binxy™ is a lightweight pacifier with a rubbery, flexible design that supports the motor skill development of babies three months old and older.

     It is easy for a baby to see, grab, hold, and use the Binxy™. which maximizes a three month old baby’s natural ability to grasp. It also helps to promote confidence, independence, finger dexterity, hand-eye coordination, and helps reduce frustration from dropped pacifiers.  The pacifier will come with a recyclable, replaceable nipple cover to keep it clean when not in use and will come in four bright colors with two different nipple sizes and styles. The 3-to-6 month size is a cherry (round) style nipple so that breastfed babies don't get “nipple confusion” and the 6-to-12 month size is fitted with an orthopedic nipple. All nipples are 100 percent silicone and made in Germany. Binxy™ is 3.5-in. in diameter and weighs about the same as a standard pacifier.
