Why Pacifier Clips Aren’t the Solution—And What to Use Instead

If your infant pacifier keeps falling out, you might be tempted to grab a pacifier clip to keep it close. But before you do, let’s talk about the hidden dangers of pacifier clips—and why the Ingy Bingy Band is a much safer and more effective alternative.

The Problem with Pacifier Clips

Pacifier clips have been a go-to for parents trying to keep track of their baby’s newborn pacifier, but they come with some serious risks.

1. Strangulation Hazard

Most pacifier clips attach to a baby’s clothing with a long strap, creating a strangulation risk—especially when a baby is sleeping or rolling over. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises against using anything around a baby’s neck or chest that could get wrapped around them.

2. Choking Risk

Many pacifier clips have small plastic or metal parts that can break off, posing a choking hazard. If a clip loosens or detaches, it becomes a dangerous object in a baby’s environment.

3. Can Still Get Lost

Even though a pacifier clip keeps the pacifier attached to clothing, babies can still pull it off, leaving parents back at square one.

The Better Alternative: The Ingy Bingy Band

So, if pacifier clips aren’t safe, what is? The Ingy Bingy Band is a pacifier wristband that securely attaches a newborn pacifier to your baby’s wrist with soft, adjustable Velcro. It eliminates the dangers of pacifier clips while keeping the pacifier easily accessible for your baby.
