FRIGG Daisy vs BIBS Infinity: Which Danish Pacifier Wins?

COMPARISON · PACIFIERS & TEETHERS

If you have spent any time browsing nursery accounts or scrolling through new-parent communities, you will have seen two pacifier brands come up again and again: FRIGG and BIBS. Both are Danish, both look beautiful, and both inspire the kind of loyalty that makes parents stockpile them in every colourway. So which one actually deserves a spot on your registry?

It is a closer call than you might expect. The FRIGG Daisy and the BIBS Infinity sit at a similar price, share the same Scandinavian design DNA and are both made from safe, tested materials. But they take different approaches to nipple shape, shield design and material options, and those small differences can make a real difference to whether your baby takes to one over the other.

We compared these two pacifiers across comfort, safety, ease of use, parent feedback and value. We looked at official specs, tested durability claims and gathered honest opinions from parents who have tried both. Neither brand sponsored this comparison, and we feature only products available through our joined retailer programme so you can add them straight to your Nest.

How we picked the 2

We started with the pacifiers parents ask about most in UK baby communities. FRIGG and BIBS consistently appear as the two names parents weigh against each other when they want something that looks good, feels safe and actually works. Both meet European safety standard EN 1400, both are designed and made in Denmark, and both are available through our joined-programme retailers. We excluded brands without a clear UK presence and focused on the specific models that parents compare most often: the FRIGG Daisy (FRIGG's most popular shield shape) and the BIBS Infinity (BIBS' newest shield design with a symmetric nipple).

What to look for in a pacifier

Choosing a dummy feels simple until you realise how many variables are at play. Here is what actually matters.

Nipple shape. Round (cherry-shaped) nipples mimic the breast and tend to suit breastfed babies best. Symmetric nipples sit correctly whichever way they land in your baby's mouth, which is a real advantage at 3am when you are fumbling in the dark. Orthodontic (anatomical) nipples flatten against the palate and some dentists prefer them for long-term use. There is no single "best" shape - it depends on your baby's preference and feeding method.

Material. Silicone is firm, easy to sterilise, odourless and lasts longer. Natural rubber is softer, more flexible and closer in feel to skin, which some breastfed babies strongly prefer. Rubber does need replacing more often and cannot go in the dishwasher.

Shield design. Look for ventilation holes (they reduce moisture build-up and skin irritation), a curved or contoured shape that sits away from the nose, and a lightweight feel. Heavier shields can pull from baby's mouth or press uncomfortably.

Size. Most brands offer at least two sizes split at around six months. Getting the right size matters - a nipple that is too large can trigger the gag reflex, while one that is too small will not satisfy the sucking instinct.

Safety certification. In the UK, look for EN 1400 compliance. This covers pull strength, ventilation holes, the absence of small detachable parts and material safety.

1. FRIGG Daisy Silicone Pacifier / 10 · Best for breastfed babies

The FRIGG Daisy is one of those products that makes you do a double take. The scalloped petal shield, inspired by Denmark's national flower, looks more like a piece of jewellery than a baby essential. But it is not all about aesthetics. The shield curves outward to sit away from your baby's face, the ventilation holes promote airflow, and the round cherry-shaped nipple is designed to support a natural sucking motion.

Where the FRIGG Daisy really stands out is its material choice. It is one of the few design-led pacifiers that offers both medical-grade silicone and natural rubber latex versions. The rubber option is softer, more elastic and closer in feel to skin, which can be a game-changer for breastfed babies who refuse firmer silicone dummies. There is also a Daisy Night version with a glow-in-dark shield, which parents tell us is genuinely useful rather than a gimmick.

What parents love

• Natural rubber option. One parent told us: "It is the only brand my daughter will take, and she is breastfed. She refused every silicone dummy we tried before this."
• Beautiful design. Over 40 colours in the Daisy range alone, and the petal shield photographs beautifully for those milestone moments.
• Glow-in-dark version. Parents we hear from regularly say the Night version is a genuine lifesaver during overnight wake-ups.
• Lightweight feel. The shield is light enough that it does not pull from baby's mouth during sleep.

What to know before you buy

• Rubber needs hand washing. Natural rubber cannot go in the dishwasher or steriliser, which adds to the cleaning routine.
• No toddler size. Sizes stop at 6-18 months, so you will need to switch brands if your child still wants a dummy past 18 months.
• Replace often. Natural rubber versions should be replaced every 4-8 weeks, sooner than silicone alternatives.

Best for

• Breastfed babies who refuse silicone dummies
• Design-conscious parents building a curated nursery
• Nighttime use (Daisy Night glow variant)
• Gift-givers looking for something special

2. BIBS Infinity Symmetric Pacifier / 10 · Best for fuss-free use

BIBS is the brand that arguably started the designer dummy movement. The Infinity is their newest shield shape, and it takes a different approach to the FRIGG Daisy. The wide, figure-8 inspired shield has large ventilation openings on each side, minimising contact with the sensitive skin around your baby's mouth. This is a practical advantage, as less moisture build-up means less chance of the rashes and sore patches that some babies get from traditional dummies.

The standout feature of the BIBS Infinity is its symmetric nipple. Unlike the FRIGG Daisy's round cherry shape, the Infinity's nipple sits correctly whichever way it lands in your baby's mouth. For tired parents doing blind dummy runs in the small hours, that is a real selling point. The trade-off is that the Infinity range is silicone only, so you lose the softer rubber option that some breastfed babies prefer.

What parents love

• Symmetric nipple. A parent shared: "I love that I can just pop it in without checking which way is up. At 2am, that matters more than you would think."
• Wide ventilated shield. The large holes reduce saliva rash, which several parents flagged as a reason they switched from other brands.
• Iconic brand. We hear repeatedly from parents that BIBS pacifiers are the only ones their baby will accept after trying several alternatives.
• Easy to clean. Silicone-only construction means you can sterilise, boil or dishwasher-wash without worry.

What to know before you buy

• Silicone only. No natural rubber option in the Infinity range, which may not suit babies who prefer a softer, more skin-like feel.
• Can feel large for newborns. One parent put it best: "Even the smallest size seemed big on my premature baby. We waited until about 8 weeks before it fit properly."
• Shorter replacement cycle. BIBS recommend replacing every 4-6 weeks, which is slightly more frequent than some competitors.

Best for

• Parents who want a no-fuss, any-way-up pacifier
• Babies prone to skin irritation around the mouth
• Families who prefer easy sterilisation over handwashing
• Second-time parents who know what they want

How to choose

If your baby is breastfed and has been refusing silicone dummies, start with the FRIGG Daisy in natural rubber. The soft, elastic nipple is the closest thing to skin in this comparison, and the petal shield is genuinely beautiful. The glow-in-dark Night version is worth considering if you do a lot of overnight settling.

If you want the easiest possible pacifier to use, especially during exhausting nighttime wake-ups, the BIBS Infinity is the smarter pick. The symmetric nipple removes the guesswork, the wide shield keeps skin dry, and silicone's easy sterilisation means one less thing to think about. It is also the slightly more affordable option.

Whichever you choose, buy just one or two to start. Every baby is different, and the best pacifier in the world is the one your baby will actually take.
