Hi. Our almost 1 year old still prefers the 0-6 months soother. We have tried the 6-18 months a few times and he gags and seems to hate it. Is it a bad thing to continue to let him use the 0-6 months or should we really persist with the 6-18 months? Thanks.

Stick to the smaller size until your baby finds the larger one comfortable with out gagging and stays in without falling out. Both my kids were on the 0-6 for far longer than the guideline age. My son who is 1 tomorrow only moved up from 0-6 a week ago.

Hi, our 5 and a half month old baby has been using the 0-6 month air free-flow soothers till now. I tried to find the same soothers for the 6-18 month range but could only see the classic version in most of the places. I noticed that with the classic version for the 6-18 month range, the shape of the base is not symmetrical in that only the top is cut for the nose and the bottom is not. So if my baby takes the dummy out herself and puts it back into her month upside down, the wider bottom part could cover her nose - not sure when she would become smart enough to learn that there is only one way up. I thought there must be a reason to this design so would someone please tell me why? (Models SCF182 and SCF170/22)

Hi there.

Fair point! We've enquired with our Avent team and they told us that the 6 – 18 classic have been out in this original design for over 30 years. The guard is enlarged from the 0-6 mth version to help prevent the baby putting the whole soother in there mouth, but the small cut away section for the nose has been retained, as customer feedback indicates that this soother works very well. In more recent times we have released the free flow soothers, these have extra air flow for babies with more sensitive skin and are also cut away top and bottom so will work better for babies that are manipulating the soother themselves. The classic soothers will not restrict breathing if put in upside down, that is why the air holes are present, but if this is a concern, then the free flow will give additional peace of mind.



Kind regards,

My baby is just over 5 months and currently using the 0-6 month dummies. Over the last few weeks, I have noticed that his dummies are leaving a red indent around his mouth especially if he is sucking on it. I'm seeking advice as to whether I could perhaps swap to the 6-18 month dummies a little earlier?

Hello,
Just to confirm for you, there is no issue with moving up to the 6 - 18 month older age group soother at 5 months.
The age is a recommendation only.
