  • Ryan & Rose Preemie Pacifier FAQs

    What is a Ryan & Rose Preemie Pacifier?

    The Ryan & Rose Cutie Preemie Pacifier is specially designed for premature and very small newborn babies. It has a lightweight, slim shield and a smaller teat designed to feel more comfortable on tiny faces than many standard newborn pacifiers.

    What size baby is the Ryan & Rose Preemie Pacifier suitable for?

    Ryan & Rose offers two preemie stages. The Preemie Tiny is designed for babies up to around 35 weeks gestational age, while the Preemie Stage 1 is designed for babies over approximately 35 weeks and provides a transition towards a standard newborn pacifier.

    Is the Ryan & Rose Preemie Pacifier suitable for use in the NICU?

    The pacifier has been designed with premature babies and NICU needs in mind. Its slim, notched shield helps provide space around the baby's nose and can help accommodate equipment such as CPAP, ET and feeding tubes. Always follow the advice of your baby's neonatal or healthcare team while your baby is receiving medical care.

    What is the Ryan & Rose Preemie Pacifier made from?

    Ryan & Rose states that its preemie pacifiers are made from 100% medical-grade silicone. They have a one-piece design, which means the teat, shield and handle are formed as one piece rather than being assembled from separate parts.

    Why is the shield smaller than a normal baby pacifier?

    Premature babies have much smaller facial features, so a standard newborn pacifier can sometimes feel bulky or sit close to the nose. The Ryan & Rose Preemie Pacifier uses a slim, lightweight and notched shield designed to provide a better fit around smaller faces.

    How do I clean a Ryan & Rose Preemie Pacifier?

    Ryan & Rose describes the pacifier as easy to clean and top-rack dishwasher safe. Always inspect the pacifier before use and follow the manufacturer's current cleaning, sterilising and replacement instructions supplied with the product.

    When should I move from Preemie Tiny to Preemie Stage 1?

    Ryan & Rose recommends the Preemie Tiny for babies up to approximately 35 weeks and the Preemie Stage 1 for babies over approximately 35 weeks. Every premature baby develops differently, so if your baby is still receiving neonatal care, ask your baby's healthcare team which size is most appropriate.

    Are Ryan & Rose Preemie Pacifiers only for premature babies?

    They are primarily designed for premature babies, but the smaller, lightweight design may also suit very small newborn babies who find conventional newborn pacifiers too large. Choosing the appropriate size should always be based on your baby's individual needs and the manufacturer's guidance.
