Philips Avent Ultra Soft Fopspeen

The BubsNest Verdict

The ultra-soft shield truly minimizes skin irritation and the plant-based materials are a nice eco-bonus, though not every baby loves the nipple shape. Ideal for newborns with sensitive skin or parents prioritizing gentleness, but skip it if your baby is particular about pacifier shapes or you're watching your budget closely.

⚠️These are only suitable for 0-6 months, so you'll need to buy the next size up sooner than you think—factor in the replacement cost.

“Soft, flexible shield reduces skin irritation for sensitive babies”

7.8

Solid Choice

The Philips Avent Ultra Soft Soother is a well-regarded pacifier, with parents highlighting its soft, flexible shield that gently contours to a baby's face to minimise skin irritation. Many found it easy for their little ones to take to, and appreciated features like the glow-in-the-dark button for night-time use. However, a few parents noted issues with the design trapping water, and some babies still struggled to keep the pacifier in their mouths. Overall, it seems a solid choice for soothing sensitive skin, but may not suit every baby's preferences.

Before You Buy

Consider trying the pacifier at home first to see if your baby takes to the specific shape and size.
