GumDrop – used in hundreds of hospital nurseries. If your baby used GumDrop in the hospital be sure to keep a supply on hand because babies love GumDrop.
GumDrop Pacifiers are made of a plastic inner guard, over-molded with medical grade silicone.
We only make the one-size pacifier (newborn). We specifically don't put an age range on our GumDrop pacifier. We feel that each baby develops individually and the rule of thumb is if your baby can fit the entire pacifier into their mouth, then it is too small and you need to stop using it. As a reference, we do have older babies using our GumDrop upwards of 18-20 months old. We do caution parents of older babies using our GumDrop Pacifier when the baby is teething or has teeth, you need to check the pacifier frequently for signs of damage due to biting. It is a soft medical grade Silicone and is not strong enough to withstand biting. If the parent sees any signs of damage, they need to discard that pacifier and use a new one.
GumDrops are phthalate-free, latex-free and BPA-free. Made in the USA.

A variety of studies have indicated that pacifier use lowers the risk of SIDS, and several other countries have made similar recommendations. Because SIDS happens so rarely, it is difficult to do large-scale controlled studies to determine why pacifiers might help; however, because the risk for serious side effects is greatly reduced if pacifiers are used properly, they are a safe and sensible option in the battle against SIDS. Pacifiers shouldn’t be used before the age of one month in breastfed infants to avoid the disruption of regular feeding habits. Also, infants should not be forced to take a pacifier and parents should not reinsert it once the infant falls asleep. - Elizabeth Damato, Ph.D., RN.
“GumDrop is the only kind my baby will suck! I have wasted countless dollars buyingall kinds of pacifiers and GumDrop is just absolutely the best! Thanks for such a great product.” ~ Crystal, roebuck, sc
Even preemies LOVE a GumDrop! "My baby is now 35 weeks gestation and weighs 3 pounds, 13.8 ounces. She liked the Soothie pacifier but it's a little heavy for her and she's unable to keep it in her mouth. I came home to research a little and found your GumDrop pacifiers and knew I had to try one! When I popped the GumDrop into the mouth of my hungry little girl, she instantly calmed down and began to suck! Even preemies LOVE a GumDrop! She's still so small that it doesn't quite conform to her little face but it will. Thank you for your products. I will most assuredly order more of these pacifiers!" ~ Lala; 8/09
Nurse Highly Recommends! I have never found a pacifier that the babies can keep in their mouths—until I found the GumDrop™. I love them and all my clients and their babies do too!! ~ Barbara, RN; Coral Springs, Florida
These Pacifiers Are Amazing! …So much better than the original SOOTHIE. First of all, the colors are way cuter and it forms around their mouth. Excellent product. If your baby will take a SOOTHIE, they will take this! ~ Jennifer; Ray, North Dakota
Outstanding Outstanding product, much better than the large round ones the hospital gives you that are twice the size of baby's face. ~ Benjamin Schrader; Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Great alternative to the Soothie! My daughter would ONLY take a Soothie...but they are so big and green—she took to GumDrop and they have been a great Soothie-replacement! Now she can suck away and we can see her cute little face! ~ Anonymous; Pullman, Washington
My Favorite! This pacifier is so great! It is lightweight and was so much better for my preemie than those huge ones so often used in the nicu. I like being able to see my baby's face and not just a big round pacifier and 2 eyes! Thanks for this product! ~ Anonymous; Thornville, Ohio
Simply Awesome! We bought our first GumDrop at our pediatrician's office when our little boy was born. He loved these from the beginning and they stayed in better than the Soothie the hospital gave us. They helped him sleep at night and during naps and didn't interfere with breastfeeding. They are really awesome. People ask me about them all the time. We don't leave home without an extra paci in the diaper bag in case one falls on the floor. ~ Jack's Mom; Austin, Texas
Highly recommended to any parent It was amazing how my baby preferred the GumDrop over the Soothie. Forget other pacifiers, it's the GumDrop all the way! ~ Anonymous; Andover, Minnesota
These are the best! If your baby won't suck on a pacifier, try GumDrops! My baby hated pacifiers that I got from the store. I even purchased the Soothie which is very similar except the part that stays outside the mouth is round all around, so it would hit his little nose every time he sucked on it. Needless to say, he LOVES GumDrop! ~ Melissa; Rupert, Idaho
Awesome! These pacifiers are the best. My son came home with the Soothie from the hospital and didn't really care for it. He puts this one right in his mouth, especially the vanilla scented one. I keep buying them like every week because I like them so much and need to replenish my supply. ~ Anonymous; Wappingers Falls, New York
Outstanding Both I and my baby girl love this pacifier! It's the only one she could hold in her mouth for a prolonged amount of time. My sister-in-law gave one to me and I am so happy she did! It rescued me from plenty of sleepless days and nights. I recommend it to all mothers and mothers-to-be. ~ Anonymous; Houston, Texas 1/09
Wonderful As a neonatal nurse and a mother of a strictly breastfeed baby, GumDrop really is a little miracle paci. ~ Susana; Miami, Florida
Aussie Loves GumDrop too! My baby girl loves her GumDrop and it's the ONLY pacifier she will suck continuously. She literally spits any other brand out! GumDrop is the best! ~ O.G.; Perth, Australia 12/07
Amazing Product Our son loves it! We always carry an extra just in case... ~ Jane; Brantford, ON
The Best This was the only pacifier my son would take and was given to him from the hospital. He held onto it for 6 months until we finally lost it and we both cried because he wanted it and I needed him to have it! He refused to take the other pacifiers I bought in the stores even through they looked similar. There's something about this pacifier that he loves and for that reason I swear by it! ~ Sabrina; Bowie, Maryland
Highly Recommended The only pacifier my son will use. Excellent! Better than the Soothie and Nuk by far. Thank you. ~ Anita, Iowa
Fantastic even for breastfed babies! We got our first GumDrop in the hospital when Noah was born—it fits him better than the bigger pacifiers and he loves it. He has been breastfed since the beginning and has never had any problems with it due to nipple confusion. Now I order pacifiers to give as baby shower gifts; they are great! ~ Brienne Parker; Shawnee, Oklahoma
Wonderful Invention! My daughter loves it and won't take anything else. ~ Donna; Toronto, ON
