Arrêter la tétine

My child has a round pacifier, they'll never accept the Clipp pacifier... What should I do?
My child only uses a round pacifier – they'll never accept Clipp… What can I do?
We hear this concern a lot from parents on our social media:
“My child only accepts round pacifiers and refuses all other shapes… What can I do?”
Good news – Clipp has already helped many children who were using a round pacifier. How? Let’s explain it all here.
Les formes d’embout de succion
Avant de vous livrer nos astuces pour faire accepter la tétine Clipp à votre enfant, nous pensons qu’il est important de faire un point sur les formes de tétine. Il existe plusieurs formes d’embout de succion : la forme ronde, la forme physiologique et la forme anatomique.
La forme ronde
Ce n’est pas notre préférée chez Clipp. Elle est grosse, engendre de très grosses béances et des rotations incisives dans la bouche de nos enfants. 🙈 L’idéal serait que nos enfants l’utilisent seulement quelques mois après leur naissance.
La forme physiologique
Cette forme asymétrique, plus fine, est conçue pour s’adapter au palais de nos enfants de manière plus naturelle. Mais elle maintient la langue basse… 🦷
La forme anatomique
Cette forme fine et symétrique n’a pas de sens, elle limite l’impact dentaire ! Chez Clipp, nous avons choisi cette forme de tétine, car c’est la moins destructrice pour la bouche de nos enfants. ❤️
How to Introduce the Clipp Weaning Pacifier
At Clipp, we encourage parents to play an active role in weaning. Your attitude has a huge impact on how your child accepts the new pacifier. Smile, stay positive, and your child will follow your lead!
Start by preparing your child:
– Talk about growing up and why stopping the pacifier is good (for teeth, speech, health, etc.).
– Choose a storybook about dummy weaning for bedtime.
– Tell them you’ve found a magical pacifier that will help them stop – and it’s on the way!
Children love games. So why not make the arrival of Clipp exciting?
– Wrap it as a present, tell them it’s a “magic” pacifier, or go to the letterbox together every day to wait for it.
Once Clipp arrives – make it a celebration!
– Praise them, add a small gift (like our playful calendar), or plan a fun family dinner.
– You can even create a “goodbye box” together, where they put their old pacifiers. From now on, Clipp is their only dummy – and the weaning begins!
They tried it – and it worked!
We’ve helped many families start gentle weaning with Clipp. And usually, children fall into two groups:
1. The “It’s a big change” kids
Switching from a round pacifier to Clipp can be a huge step. At first, they may complain or reject it. But with your support, encouragement and cuddles, this stage passes quickly.
🎉 Congratulations – you’ve just crossed the biggest hurdle!
2. The “Parents worry more than kids” kids
Sometimes, children adapt easily – especially if we keep it fun.
If that’s your case, follow your child’s rhythm. Add each clipp as slowly as they need – even over several weeks if needed.
Remember: every child is different.
But with a gentle approach and lots of support, they’re all capable of leaving the pacifier behind – in their own time, and with a smile.❤️
