A green pacifier that doesn't suck
Pacifiers, I had always thought, were for other people's babies. My toddler never needed one when he was little. But then we had number two, a fussy little guy who needs some help in the soothing department. Luckily there's a brand of rubber pacifiers that's as good for the environment as they are for the little sprouts who suck on them. Made from 100% pure natural rubber from the Hevea Brasiliensis tree, Hevea pacifiers are free of PVC, phthalates, BPA and artificial colors. Not only are the pacis worry-free, they also look very cool, with cut-outs resembling stars, cars, flowers or crowns.

The rubber is ultra-soft and malleable and I imagine it feels like buttah against my little guy's face. I also love the adorable and functional Organic Pacifier Clip and the Organic Pacifier Bag, both made with 100% organic cotton and printed with soy ink. If only Hevea could come up with a way to keep the paci from falling out of my little one's mouth we'd have all the elements for sleep-filled heaven. -Melissa

Hevea natural rubber pacifiers are available online at Heveababyusa.com.
