Best Pacifier Accessories: Storage, Sterilization and More!
You don’t need to have all of these pacifier accessories, but if you can only choose one, the Ingy Bingy Band will make your life a whole lot easier!
By Emily Rogers
I firmly believe a newborn pacifier is a must have on a baby registry. They are sanity savers! However, you might be wondering about all the other pacifier accessories. What else do you really need? Truthfully, you don’t NEED anything else, but to have a positive pacifier experience you will need at least one pacifier accessory and it’s the Ingy Bingy Band!
Pacifier Attachments
- Ingy Bingy Band: The Ingy Bingy Band works with any type of newborn pacifier and the newborn pacifiers attach and detach to the pacifier wristband very easily! This pacifier wristband velcros around baby’s wrist to help them self-soothe from as early as 4 months! This pacifier bracelet saves you time and frustration because you won’t be constantly looking for it and cleaning it when the newborn pacifier keeps falling out!
- Pacifier Clip: The pacifier clips attach to baby’s shirt while the other end is attached to the pacifier. This makes it easy to keep track of the pacifier and if it does fall out then the parent or child (depending on age) can get it back in easily. Most clips are made with wooden or silicone beads that are non-toxic, Phthalate & BPA-Free. However, some of these are choking hazards.
- WubbaNubs: WubbaNubs are very adorable pacifier accessories that have a stuffed animal attached to the pacifier. We used WubbaNubs with our first child for a few months and we found they began to stink quickly from being frequently dropped and hand washed in the sink. Pacifiers need to be replaced every 4-6 weeks so wubbanubs get pricy quickly since the infant pacifier cannot be removed from the stuffed animal.
Pacifier Cleaning Accessories
The Ingy Bingy Band is a great way to minimize a pacifier’s exposure to dirt and germs because your newborn pacifiers won’t be constantly falling on the floor. However, you still need to clean those pacifiers regularly! Here’s a list of some of the most highly rated pacifier cleaning accessories!
- Pacifier Wipes: Simply wipe down your pacifier with one of these baby safe sanitizing wipes! Some popular brands include: Dapple Baby , Mam, Munchkin Arm & Hammer
- Pacifier Spray: If you’re not feeling the pacifier wipes you can try using a pacifier spray. Simply spray the infant pacifier to sanitize, rinse under water, and let it air dry!
- Munchkin Portable Electric UV Sterilizer: This mini sterilizer kills germs, bacteria and viruses such as the flu, e. coli, salmonella, and RSV in under a minute! It has a strap so that it can attach to a diaper bag or stroller easily!
