Optimal: Natural Rubber Pacifiers

Pacifiers that do not contain toxic materials are efficient. Infants are much more susceptible to chemical contamination that adults. A company from Denmark, Natursutten, makes 100% rubber pacifiers using natural latex from the tree Hevea brasiliensi. These pacifiers have no artificial colors, chemical softeners, parabens, PVC, or phthalates. They are softer than pacifiers made of silicone or plastic.

Natursutten pacifiers are also very hygienic because they are molded in one piece, so there are no joins where bacteria can accumulate. They are available from Zoe-B Organic for $5.99 each.

For those concerned about rubber allergies, for these pacifiers, the protein that on rare occasions can provoke a latex allergy is eliminated during production. They are made to conform to the Pacifier Safety requirements by European standard EN 1400.

I’m glad to see a nontoxic rubber in use, I’d rather see promotion of the truly natural paci, Momma.

He went through a four-month battle to get onto the site before, sending Facebook it his passport, driver’s license, bar number and other forms of identification to prove he is who he says he is. He had to send Facebook a threatening letter before it let him on. And things were fine for two years, until he was suddenly barred again on Monday.
