Quick answer
If you're unsure which pacifier shape your baby will accept, start with a try-it pacifier set that includes round, symmetrical, and anatomical nipples. It lets you test different shapes without buying multiple full-size pacifiers.
Why babies reject some pacifiers
Every baby has a unique mouth anatomy, sucking technique, and preference. A pacifier that works for one baby may be rejected by another. That's why trying different shapes and sizes is so important. A try-it pacifier set gives you a low-cost way to discover what your baby prefers before you commit to a larger supply.
What's inside a try-it collection
A typical try-it collection includes three nipple shapes: round, symmetrical, and anatomical. Round nipples mimic a classic bottle shape, symmetrical nipples are flat on both sides and sit naturally in the mouth, and anatomical nipples are shaped to fit the palate and tongue. Having all three in one set means you can rotate them and observe which one your baby sucks on longest or seems most comfortable with.
How to decide: try-it set or single pacifier
- If you're a first-time parent: Start with a try-it pacifier set. It gives you three shapes to test, so you can learn your baby's preference before stocking up on one style. Buy a 3-pack with round, symmetrical, and anatomical nipples.
- If your baby already has a favorite shape: Skip the try-it set and buy that specific pacifier in the size and material you know works. A try-it set would be redundant.
- If you're on a tight budget: A try-it set is usually more economical than buying three separate pacifiers, but compare the price per pacifier. Some sets offer better value than buying singles. Check the number of pacifiers in the set and the price per piece.
- If you want to test different materials: Look for a try-it set that includes natural rubber latex nipples. If you suspect a latex sensitivity, choose a set with silicone nipples instead, but note that not all try-it sets offer that option. Confirm the nipple material before ordering.
