I've read multiple reviews and also the questions and answers, and condensed the results.  By taking the most talked about topics and putting them into this review, I'm hoping that this has made it easier for you to decide if you'd like to purchase the Philips Avent Soothie Pacifier or if another pacifier might better meet you and your baby's needs.  Let's dive right in and take a look at what customers who purchased this pacifier had to say about it.

Safety

This pacifier is only recommended up to 3 months.  One parent had a comment about how their baby with teeth could bite off the tops.  So I think it's important to remember to switch to a different pacifier after 3 months, before your baby gets teeth.  Here was the comment,

"Bought these after the hospital provided these same pacificers when I brought my twins home. My only complaint is that my twins both bite the tips off of these often, which can present a safety hazard for younger babies (with teeth)."

If your baby develops teeth extra early, it sounds like it would be a very good idea to not use this pacifier.

Price

There's not a lot to say about the price other than most parents commented that this was a good price.

Shape

Parents liked that the Philips Avent Soothie Pacifier came as one solid piece for the sake of safety.  This is not one of those cute pacifiers, but one that is functional and safe.  A large group of parents liked this fact.  Parents also liked how the shape made it easy to clean.  Here is a common type of comment on the shape of this pacifier.  

One parent said, "Easy to clean since the back of the pacifier is open and doesn't trap water. The rounded shape works well for my baby to grab onto, and since the pacifier is the same material all the way around, our baby enjoys chewing on the sides occasionally which helps her gums while teething. This pacifier also does not leave marks around baby's mouth since there isn't a curved plastic backing."

Another parent had this to say about the shape,

"Love these pacifiers! My lactation consultant informed me that these are great for breastfeeding mothers because of the shape of the nipple. These are the only pacifiers my little one will take!"

One parent liked how it didn't lay flush in their baby's mouth.  

She said, "The shape is a bit different from the 3 other brands we have, but I actually find I like it better. It doesn't lay flush to the baby's mouth, which allows saliva to run or dry. With the other pacifiers that curve with our baby's face, the saliva just pools around his mouth and caused a little bit of skin irritation. Our baby may have sensitive skin, but it seems better with this soothie."

Size

The size of this pacifier is made for infants 0 to 3 months.  Most parents such as this one appreciated the small size, 

"My newborn daughter loved these. She was born small, so many pacifiers dwarfed her little mouth. These were perfect though, and the price here on Amazon can't be beat. Order several packages for the inevitable times you lose them!"

Material

The Philips Avent Soothie Pacifier is made from silicone.  It is BPA and Latex-Free.  Most parents left positive comments about the materials such as this comment,

"This was the pacifier used at the hospital so the twins have been used to them since birth. I like that it does not squish their nose. Soft, flexible material. Easy to clean. Good price point....I probably have 10 at this point because I go through several a day with twins and this way I don't keep playing "find the pacifier". Make sure you note the sizes on the package, because with each size, the harder the rubber is and my babies definitely noticed the difference."

If you are looking for a simply constructed pacifier that is priced low, this may be a great choice if your infant is between 0 to 3 months.  This is a very popular pacifier as indicated by the large number of positive reviews left on Amazon.  Make sure that you don't use it after 3 months or when your child develops teeth.  This is strictly a beginner's pacifier for newborns. I hope that this review helps you as you search for the best pacifiers for your baby.
