GumDrop Pacifier Full-Term Natural Scent Orange 5 Pack
- Completely encapsulated with silicone – soft against baby’s face

A baby can be put at risk with an unsafe pacifier and the possibility of loose bits of silicone. That’s why they created the GumDrop.
The GumDrop is a safe, soft topped pacifier that’s already been designed to fit your baby’s face – even in the face of tubes and cannulas, so you will never have to modify the shape. And its perfect for side-lying without the hard plastic bases of most other popular pacifiers. GumDrop rests comfortably against your baby’s delicate skin, offering a silicone-covered, curved surface and a familiar nipple shape that babies love.
Our GumDrops also come in a soothing Vanilla scent that can calm the fussiest of babies.
Please note: this item number is for a five pack of the GumDrop.
Price: $ 4.07
The Best Pacifier,
My son was a preemie, and the NICU gave him the GumDrop preemie and full-term pacifier to use during his long hospitalization — he absolutely loved it! Designed by a medical company, and made of hospital-grade silicone, the GumDrop is lightweight, very soft, and features a unibody construction, so there are no parts that can come loose. The shape of the pacifier allowed him (and all the other preemies in the NICU) to use it in the side-lying position, even with all his tubes (i.e. CPAP, nasal cannula, nasal gavage tube, etc.). You can put your finger in the open end, allowing you to easily control or hold the pacifier; it also allows you to feel how strong your baby’s suck is. NNS (non-nutritive sucking) is very important for a baby’s development, and our baby got to practice a lot of NNS with his GumDrop. It helped him to self-soothe himself as well when we couldn’t be at his cribside.
Overall, I highly recommend this product. The price is great, although the S/H charges are high.

|good if my son took a pacifier,
My son didn’t like this pacifier, but he doesn’t like ANY pacifier. I love that it’s orange and easy to spot and has the nose notch cut-out. We’ll be saving this “bink” for the next baby to see if he or she will like it.

|Maybe too good…,
My 2 month old has been using these since day 4 when we needed extra help consoling her. Unfortunately she loves it so much that it is difficult to have her nap without it, although she will go back to sleep after a night feed without it. They do fall out easily so there are many trips back to her crib to reinsert the gumdrop but that is the sacrafice I make for getting her to sleep in the first place. She doesn’t wake up once she’s in a deep enough sleep when it falls out. I really like how it is shaped around her nose, giving her more space to breathe.
