It's a lot like the toothbrush companies recommend replacing your toothbrush every 2-3 months. We just need to be aware that this pacifier is made from a wonderfully natural, and thus easily biodegradable material. It should be monitored for gummy spots, stickiness, and tearing and replaced at that time. Hope that helps clarify a little, Alicia Hi Elena,

Given that they are already 6.50 each, plus 7 dollars shipping, that makes this product pretty unaffordable for most people. I was about to order one when i read that blurb and now i'm on the hunt for a cheap and safe alternative... Hi,

He was told that all Avent pacifiers currently contain BPA, so you will probably want to avoid them. As for BPA and Phthalates: BPA stands for bisphenol-a; it is the toxic chemical used to produce polycarbonate plastic. Phthalates are a chemical used to soften PVC plastic. So in essence, you are worrying about PVC and polycarbonates when you avoid phthalates and BPA. Please feel free to email me at info@thesoftlanding.com if you would like more explanation. Sincerely, Alicia Hi Daphne,

My 10 month old twins use Avent pacifiers. Are they safe from BPA, phthalates, PVC and/or polycarbonates. In other words, are they safe? What pacifiers are the safest? I am so confused. I know why I should worry about BPA and phthalates, but do I need to worry so much about PVC and polycarbonates? Any info is appreciated Hello
