Pacifiers - also known as a paci, a nuk, a binky, a dummy. They are use all over the world to “pacify” babies, help them sleep, keep them relatively quiet, comfort them, and provide an outlet for the instinctive sucking that babies crave. They can be a mom’s best friend (allowing for a good night’s sleep) or her worst enemy (when her 5 year old won’t leave the house without one). Some moms think giving a baby an artificial nipple is not a good idea and some moms never give it any thought. But do either of them think about whether or not that pacifier is safe for baby’s physical health? They might be concerned about pacifiers as a potential choking hazard but until recently many moms never thought about a hidden danger lurking in a baby’s pacifier. The same is true of teethers. There are tons of them on the market to comfort and soothe babies, perhaps making teething a bit easier to handle for mom and baby. But are they safe?
Unfortunately, many conventional teethers and pacifiers contain Bishpenol A or BPA. I have addressed the problems associated with this synthetic hormone used to make plastic on several other occasions. I love to provide parents with information about alternatives that are non toxic and safe for baby. There is just no need to buy toxic baby products anymore. For reference you should check out these complimentary articles by yours truly:
BPA Free Sippy Cups Part One | BPA Free Sippy Cups Part Two
Glass Baby Bottles | BPA Free Baby Bottles
Unlike some of the articles above I really do not have much personal experience with the teethers and pacifiers mentioned below because I do not have a child that uses them. I have gotten to see and feel most of them but that is quite different from giving them a road test. BUT unlike baby bottles and sippy cups there is not much to say in way of reviews so here goes. This is a list of safe (bpa free) pacifiers and teethers. This list only represents the ones I know about…there could be others, and if you know of one make sure to leave a comment below!
Pacifiers:
Natursutten Pacifiers - The only all natural organic pacifier and my top pick! They are made from pure 
natural rubber from the tree Hevea brasiliensi. These pacifiers are softer than silicone and extremely hygienic, molded in one piece, and there are no joints or cracks where dirt and bacteria can accumulate. And of course they are free of all the nasty stuff you would never consciously want to put into your baby’s mouth, ie artificial colors, chemical softeners, BPA, parabens, PVC and phthalates. They are pretty cute too. 
We also received a tester binky from a company called Eco Piggy. Having compared their brand paci to the Natursutten I have to decided they are one and the same.
Raz-Berry Pacifier - 100% medical grade silicone and VERY cute. They are shaped like a raspberry. The bumpy texture sooths baby’s gums.
Playtex Baby Binky Most Like Mother One-Piece Silicone Pacifier- This is a durable one-piece, medical grade silicone pacifier. It features a nipple designed to simulate the shape of mother’s breast during breastfeeding, to satisfy baby’s sucking reflex. One thing I found a bit bizarre though about these pacifiers is the fact that they are “scented”.
Gerber Silicone Nuks- All the silicone Nuks from Gerber are free of polycarbonate plastics and thus BPA.
First Years Soothie Silicone Pacifier - Sized and shaped for baby’s developing mouth, made of latex-free, 
hospital grade silicone, and they have a durable, one-piece construction. You can get them in pink or a pretty teal color. These are also the pacifiers you get on the adorable Wubbanubs, which are basically small stuffed animals attached to the pacifier so that the pacifier is less likely to fall out or be spit out accidentally.
Teethers:
Sophie the Giraffe Teether- This is the new rage in teethers…Sophie the Giraffe….and our top pick! It is hand made in the French Alps with natural rubber and non-toxic paint. Born in 1961, her success is legendary in France as the # 1 toy for baby. Sophie stands 7″ tall, and is sure to become your baby’s favorite toy. It is absolutely adorable and I have heard it is especially good for plane rides since there is no liquid in it.
Chan Pie Gnon - I also really like this teether too! It is made by the same company that makes Sophie. Chan Pie Gnon comes from the French word champignon, which means mushroom. Chan (blue), Pie (pink), and Gnon (green) are adorably mushroom-shaped soft chew toys. They are proudly handmade in the French Alps with the finest rubber (phthalate-free) and food quality paints.
See also Amber Teething Necklaces for a 100% natural, non-plastic option.
LeapFrog Baby Lilypad Vibrating Teether- This teether is pretty attractive I think. It is a vibrating teether with a colorful lilypad filled with water and character images inside along with colorful characters. I am 30 and I want it. :)
Nuby Jiggle Giggle Vibrating Teether- This paci vibrates when baby chews on it, providing massage and stimulation to gums. It is filled with non-toxic Pur Ice Gel that can be placed in the freezer, but remains soft to provide a comforting teething surface. It is beyond adorable and I found it cute that the part the baby chews on is the utter. I guess it doesn’t take much to entertain me, LOL. There is a butterfly version too.
Nuby Ice Gel Teether Keys on a Ring- This colorful teether features three keys on a ring to keep your baby’s gums nice and cool. Each ice-gel teether key has a soft overlay on top and non-toxic Pur Ice Gel in the bottom.
Sassy Jelly Fish Teethers- These non-toxic brightly colored fish are completely water-filled and offer a variety of textures for the teething baby. Fish can be chilled in the refrigerator for cooling sensation. They come in a few lovely colors too.
Sassy Buzz n’ Bites teether- This little butterfly is such a fun and colorful way to soothe baby’s sore gums AND to promote the development of the senses. This teether offers a variety of textures for your baby to explore, creating an increased awareness of the lips or fingers. Plus, one of the butterfly’s wings vibrates gently as baby chews on it. Can be chilled in refrigerator for a cooling sensation.
Sassy Coolin’ Teether- Cool’in teethers inspire the sense of taste. Babies will have fun exploring the various textures, and shapes while teething. They can also be put in the refrigerator. So far I have seen a several animal shapes too…a turtle, a snail, and a bear.
Sassy Chilly Dilly Daisy- This teether helps develop your baby’s communication skills by creating an awareness of lips and tongue. Water-filled petals can be refrigerated to help soothe aching gums while gripping and textured petals entertain fingers and hands. Performs double duty with a rattle in the center section. This is one cute teether.
Luv n’ Care Icy Bite Teether- The IcyBite teether/soother provides a cool textured surface for baby to bite and teethe on during teething periods. It soothes and stimulates sore gums safely. Colorful shapes are easy for baby to hold and sized for maximum effectiveness as a teether and soother. This teether is filled with non-toxic purICE, can be placed in the freezer and will remain soft to safely soothe baby’s sore gums.
JeJe Therapeutic Teether by Baby Vibeis the winner of The National Parenting Center’s 2005 Seal of Approval, and the iParenting Media Awards Winner. It is uniquely designed to ensure that it provides a natural way for babies to deal with their teething aches and pains.
You may notice some big brand names above…Sassy, Nuby, Gerber, etc. While they do offer some safe alternatives like the one I mention above they also have teethers and pacifiers in their lineup that are NOT safe so do your homework and make sure only buy the ones that have no BPA or other harmful chemicals and byproducts.

Love, love, love your blogs. I have been “going natural” for almost over a year now and your blog is so great because it is so concise. I used your research on BPA free sippy cups to find a sippy cup that worked perfect for us. And as everyone else says, it would be nice to win a prize too! So thanks for all your hard work and research. Readers really do appreciate it.

We have started recently trying to go green-green cleaners (love the Shaklee stuff), reusable grocery bags, keeping electricity to a minimum, and we are researching Hybrid cars. I am recently learning about these BPA free products and I find it very scary. My oldest is 5 and I’m sure his bottles and sippy’s were BPA full! Thanks for your site and all your hard work! ~Becky

I see, BPA refers to the chemical in soft plastic and Phthalates refers to the chemical from hard plastic. Perhaps you would consider discussing the differences or referencing Phthalates in your blog too. Thanks!

I’ve been following your coverage of BPA-free products. So far, I’ve bought glass bottles with silicone nipples, but haven’t decided on teethers, pacifiers, or sippy cups. It may seem to some that there aren’t many options available (compared to all the regular plastic stuff out there), but I’ve actually been encouraged by the variety and am thrilled that there are a number of companies coming out with these great products. And I wouldn’t know about several of them if it weren’t for you and this blog! So thank you.

I want to know if Munchkin teethers have BPA and/or PVC. They are made in China. I can not find any information about them being safe or not. Please advise.

Thanks for posting these safe teethers. My son used mainly cold spoons as he didn’t like any of the wooden teethers I bought. I’m glad to see there are some safe options that might work for a future baby if (s)he doesn’t like the wooden ones either. And the amber teething necklaces are awesome!

My daughter and I thank you very much for all your research. This is all very helpful and I will post your link on my baby girl’s blog. Thanks for putting us in the running for one of those amazing prize packs. You can email me to get our blog address. Since it is our baby’s blog we like to keep it private, just friends and family, so I don’t want to post the address on your site.

Thanks for all this great information. We’re expecting #3 and all this stuff about plastic has come out since our last baby so we’re hoping to switch out a bunch of stuff - wish it didn’t add up so quickly. Thanks again!

Was sent this link by a friend and am trying to figure out if my new baby’s mouth rash is binky related.
I like the sound of the natural binky you posted about and am also glad to know there are some safe “big name” products out there so if I am in quick need I can grab something from the store instead of having to order.

I have a question. Can I assume that if the bottle is not heated then there is not issue? I am about to deliver baby #2 and am wondering if I should switch bottles.
Tiffany said,

Kay,
I would switch. BPA can leach into the food or drink even without heating hence the fact that baby formula in cans has BPA traces in it. I think heating just make sit more likely but why even chance it?
