A question we often hear…
Parents regularly ask:
“Can I use the 5 Clipp with a pacifier I already have at home?”
Let’s be clear: no – the 5 Clipp only work with the Clipp pacifier that comes in the kit.
Why not? A patented design made for safety
The 5 Clipp were specifically designed to work with the Clipp weaning pacifier.
They attach via a patented and precise system, using openings at the base of the pacifier.
This ensures:
- Maximum safety – your child can’t remove them
- Perfect stability during use
- A gradual reduction of suction, as part of the Clipp weaning protocol
Most pacifiers on the market don’t have these technical features, so even if they look similar, the 5 Clipp won’t fit.
What if my child used another pacifier before?
That’s very common! Many children transition from one dummy to another with surprising ease. We understand that changing shape or material might worry you – but your child is more adaptable than you think.
Remember: changing pacifier shape is still easier than stopping cold turkey. It’s one step toward gentle weaning.
We’ve even created a full article to help guide you through the transition:
“My child had a different pacifier before Clipp – what should I do?”
