These dummies have a brilliant orthodontic design and the glow-in-the-dark feature is genuinely helpful for night-time searches, though the shield can be tricky for tiny hands to grip and some find them bulky for newborns. Perfect for parents who want dentist-approved dummies with a practical night feature; skip them if your baby has a small mouth or you prefer smaller, more discreet designs.
⚠️The glow-in-the-dark feature only works if the dummy has been exposed to light first, so keep them near a lamp or window during the day.

BubsNest expert analysis of 5 parenting forum discussions
“Comfortable, safe soothers with thoughtful design praised by parents”
Solid Choice
Parents in the UK forums largely recommend the MAM Original Soothers, citing their soft, skin-friendly silicone teat, symmetrical shape that fits babies' mouths well, and thoughtful design details like raised dots to hold the shield in place. Many appreciate the wide range of cute, gender-neutral styles. A few note the shield is quite large, and the lack of a ring can make it tricky for babies to release the soother. Overall, these seem to be a reliable, well-designed option that keeps most little ones content.

Tips from parents
Use the included steriliser box to quickly disinfect the soothers in the microwave before each use.
Carefully follow the microwave instructions to avoid damaging the soothers or the appliance.
Consider the shield size if your baby has a small face, as the MAM soothers may be too large.
