A sustainable pacifier
I was given the NUK for Nature Orthodontic Pacifier to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The pacifier is lightweight, and came in sage green and light purple. The overall look of the pacifier was sleek and fashionable and the guard had spaces for breathing. The overall design was gender neutral, and would fit the aesthetic of either boy or a girl. The nipple is made on an incline and the spaces in the guard make the pacifier easy to attach to any clip. The size appeared to be within the standard range for pacifiers. It is made with100% sustainable materials.
My daughter did not automatically take to this pacifier. When presented with the pacifier she will put it in her mouth and then spit it out. However, it is important to note that this is how my daughter normally reacts to pacifiers. The incline did not seem to entice her to use the pacifier anymore than another brand or form of pacifier. She does like this pacifier when she has strong desire to be sucking, and the pacifier will sooth her to sleep. However, normally we need to hold the pacifier for her until she is soothed and can maintain the sucking motion independently. Overall, I found the NUK for Nature Orthodontic Pacifier to be similar to other pacifiers on the market. I liked the design but found that in general it soothed my daughter equally to other pacifiers on the market.

Wanted to love them
I received these to test from stellar panel and I wanted to love them, as they are made well and look cute. However, my baby refused them and wouldn't even attempt to take them. They seem to be good quality though.

Works well with us
I received this product as a part of the Stellar product testing panel. So far my baby is taking very well to these pacifiers. It helps soothe her while rocking her to sleep. I also think that the two ovals forming a heart is very adorable for the design and it’s nice to know that it’s made with sustainable materials. NUK is a well trusted brand in our household. It’s great to see the company using sustainable resources.

Great little pacifier for newborns
This pacifier is perfect for newborns as the silicone area is soft and pliable - comfortable for little mouths! I received this pacifier when my son was 5.5 months as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My son is at a stage where he is able to grab pacifiers and put them back in his mouth. Unfortunately he struggled with grasping this pacifier since the "knob" on the front is very short. He seemed to really enjoy sucking on it, but it would often fall out of his mouth which also makes me think that the nipple is too short for him and would have been better suited for when he had been a little younger. I really like the orthodontic design of it and overall the quality of the pacifier seemed great (especially considering it is made with 100% sustainable materials). This pacifier is perfect for little ones that have not yet learned how to grab things/put pacifiers back in their mouth. I wish we had received this when he was younger as I'm sure we would have got more use out of then!

Love the sustainable materials
I love the look of this pacifier as it has a slightly marbled, muted color. Bonus points for it being made of sustainable materials as well. It's a nice size for my two month old and the shape of the flatter nipple makes it easy for him to start sucking. That said, he cannot hold it in his mouth on his own which makes it challenging as there isn't anything for the parent to easily grip or hook a clip to. Which means that many times the paci ends up on the floor! It would be helpful to have a loop or something similar. I haven't experienced any nipple confusion but I waited till he was 8 weeks to introduce. I am hopeful that my baby will be able to start holding it in his mouth soon as he seems to like it so far. I received the product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Love the sustainable design baby did not like
I received these as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I love the look and feel of the Nuk pacifier and the fact that they are made from 100% sustainable materials. However, my newborn baby did not love them, the pacifier bit is a flatter shape than she prefers. We will try again in a few months.

NUK for Nature Orthodontic Pacifier review
Overall, I felt that the NUK for Nature Orthodontic Pacifier was a pacifier worth trying, and would recommend it to friends, especially those looking for an orthodontic style pacifier. I liked the heart shape, the colors, and especially the use of 100% sustainable materials. In general, my son seemed to like it, but he does typically prefer a different type of nipple. The only reason I have it four stars instead of five was that I wish the design included a better spot to attach a binky clip. I had to loop it through the air vent holes, which I didn't care for.
Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing us this pacifier to try!

Great newborn pacifier
I received the nuk for nature orthopedic pacific from the stellar product review panel. For something that needs to be replaced every month I like that all materials are sustainably sourced. The pacifier feels as sturdy as other pacifiers, which is not always the case with sustainable products. The design is simple but attractive. What I really like is how light weight it is. I have a newborn and some pacifiers are so heavy for such a little one. The nipple design is very petite and while it's branded for 0-6 months I don't see the size being appropriate past 3 or 4 months. This pacifier did not work well for my little one. They prefer a different shaped pacifier so while they would take the pacifier initially it did not soothe them for long.

A Great Pacifier Choice
I was given this pacifier to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The NUK for Nature Orthodontic Pacifier is easy for my baby to use and the way it is designed helps him keep it in his mouth! My newborn immediately took this pacifier as compared to others he spit out right away. He also keeps this in his mouth for longer and is less prone to push it out of his mouth with his tongue or hand. It has been really great at helping soothe him during fussy times! The fact that it is made of sustainable materials is also great and makes me even more confident in my choice to use this. The only minor negative aspect is that water gets trapped in the nipple when washing the pacifier, so it takes a little extra time to dry. Overall, this is a good pacifier choice!

NUK for Nature Orthodontic Pacifier
My newborn daughter who is exclusively breastfed took the pacifier right away. Thanks to the breast like nipple shape! And we love that this Nuk pacifier is made with 100% sustainable materials. Also love the cute marble design! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this pacifier.

Too sleek for baby
This pacifier checks many boxes for a mom who wants to use clean, sustainable products for her baby. However, it may have missed the mark for functionality. I received this NUK for Nature Orthodontic Pacifier through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My almost 6 month old baby is often sucking on his fingers, pacifiers, sleep sack - you name it. His first tooth is about to cut through, which leads to oral exploration with just about everything. So what did I think about this pacifier? It's pretty! But - it doesn't work great for my baby. The design of the pacifier is nice, sleek and "modern. " The packaging is great at touting it's sustainable materials. My first thought was how nice it looked and felt. My second thought was, "is this too sleek for my baby to grab?" The thin profile and minimal plastic design doesn't give a great grabbing "button" for my baby to hold - as he is just learning how to place the pacifier in his mouth himself. He is used to holding the "button" portion of the pacifier and this one doesn't quite have enough to grab onto. Even for myself, holding the pacifier in my hand while out one night, while holding him in my arms - I felt I could easily drop it since my grip was less secure.
So - I think it looks beautiful (for a pacifier), but I don't think it's my favorite.

Love the idea of sustainability
(Received product through Stellar Product Testing Panel)
Upon first look at the Nuk for Nature pacifiers, I appreciated that there was not a great deal of packaging to rip through and it was easy to remove the pacifiers. The pacifiers themselves seem very high quality and stylish, plus I love the fact that they are made to be more environmentally friendly and made from sustainable materials. The only downside is that my newborn will not take them. I will continue to keep trying though, as the pacifiers do seem to be of good quality.

Nuk Paci
The Nature Orthopedic Pacifier did a fantastic job of helping my baby calm down. He usually does not take Nuks for very long, but this one he did! He only spit them out after he had fallen asleep. Only thing that could be different is the grasper, but that’s a personal reference! Thanks Stellar Product Testing panel for providing me with this great NUK!!

Right material but wrong shape
I received the NUK for Nature Orthodontic Pacifier from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was so hopeful that this pacifier would work for my breastfed 7 month old as it is made with 100% sustainable materials and none of her other current pacifiers are. I also liked that it is the orthodontic shape as she will be getting her first teeth soon and weening from the pacifier doesn’t seem to be in the near future for us. Unfortunately, because she previously has been using a cylindrical shape nipple she wasn’t able to make the adjustment to the flattened nipple shape. I loved how sleek the design was and that the pacifier wasn’t too large on her face. I do wish it had a place to attach her pacifier holder like some of the other NUK pacifier designs do. While for us it was the wrong nipple shape, I think this pacifier option would be great for someone looking to find a pacifier made from the best materials for their little one. I will continue to search for more pacifier options made from sustainable, clean materials.

Newborn choice of first pacifier
I received the pacifier as the Stellar product testing. I was excited to try with my newborn. Overall felt like this was a good option for my newborn. He took it easily after introducing it. Just kept offering it and after the 3rd try he got the hang of it.

Nice Pacifier
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me this pacifier. My little one is breastfed and most of the time it was evident she wanted the real thing not a pacifier. But when she did take it, it helped keep her calm; it just took some getting use to. I enjoyed the easy cleaning of it. As listed on package instructions, I boiled it and squeezed off any water that got caught in the nipples. That would be the only downside to this pacifier; there is an opening and maybe crevices that may need more attention while cleaning it.

Wonderful pacifier
I received this pacifier from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I love the design and my newborn seems to be able to keep this pacifier in her mouth a lot better than some others, she seemed to take to it well. She is breast fed and often wants to use the breast to soothe but once we started using these pacifiers they seem to have done the trick and she can soothe herself with it instead. The color selections are very appealing as well. I feel good about giving my baby this pacifier knowing it’s made with sustainable materials and better for the environment.

Nuk pacifier
My 2 week old loves this pacifier! Prior to this we were using his hospital pacifier and it just kept falling out. We got the Nuk for Nature pacifier from Stellar Product Testing and he could suck on it without it falling out! The size and heart shape are perfect for my little guy. I’m excited to see what other colors they have.

Nuk paci
I received this pacifier through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It is a nice new design for a pacifier and is modern looking. It is cute in the baby's mouth. It is however, a little big yet for a newborn but it works. My baby took it right away.I do wish that it had a place to hook a clip onto it.

Great pacifier that is also cute
I was excited to test out this pacifier to help soothe my little one. I love that it is made with 100% sustainable materials and still easy to keep clean, being sterilizer and dishwasher safe! The natural shape of the pacifier makes it easy for baby to breathe and switch from breast to pacifier. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this pacifier as it has helped to soothe my baby!

Fantastic Pacifier
I am blown away by the quality of the NUK For Nature Pacifier. This is certainly a product I will continue to use with my little one, introduce to our future children, and suggest to other moms looking for good quality pacifers that actually soothe. I love that it is made with 100% sustainable materials, has a breast-like nipple shape, and is the perfect shape to fit in my little one's mouth. Currently my little one will only use one specific brand of pacifiers, but when I introduced this pacifier to him, he took a liking to it rather quickly. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for introducing me to this product and providing me with the opportunity to test this product.

Great Looking Pacifier and Sleek Design
I received this product as a member of the Stellar Products Review Panel, but all opinions are my own! Our 10 week old baby boy isn't a huge pacifier user, but does take them at times for comfort during the day (especially if he's fussy before eating and we're on the go!). I loved the look of the NUK for Nature pacifier. It's sleek, lightweight, and has a modern design that is stylish to me vs. other brands that are bulky and a bit gaudy at times! I also love that it's made of sustainable plastic (anything to help the environment when you buy so many items for such a small baby!!), BPA free and is dishwasher safe! We gave this paci to our boy and while he's not a huge pacifier user, he seemed to enjoy the shape (it mimics the shape of mom's nipple) and it stayed in his mouth easily unlike bulkier pacifiers! If I have one complaint, the plastic base of the pacifier can leave a mark on his face if he sucks too hard. I don't love seeing that on his face, but it could just be a sizing issue for him!

Beautiful Well made and BF friendly
I received these beautiful pacifiers as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
The first thing worth mentioning is an eye-catching, eco-friendly packaging, that was compact and still sturdy enough to protect the pacifiers. I literally fell in love with it and was so sorry to throw it away:)
Now, The Binkies.
What gets your attention in the begging is the design. I loved the pastel calm colors with a small marble pattern, and the heart shape with air vents. Looks so stylish in the baby's mouth :)
Next thing is of course the
high quality of the product. It is made of sustainable material, as mentioned on the package. The food grade silicone nipples are soft and so durable. I tried to pull them out of the base just to be sure they stick hard enough, so my LO won't choke on them. Not to worry mamas, the nipples sit strong!
And last but definitely not least, I love the natural feature of these binkies. As I exclusively breastfeed, I was worried about giving the pacifier due to "nipple confusion". However, with the breast-like shape of the pacifier nipple, we had no breastfeeding problem at all.
A couple more things I would like to highlight:
1. There is no space on the pacifier to attach the holder. Which became a big deal for us at our stroller walks, as my girlie loves throwing everything out. (However, I know lots of parents who are ok without the paci holder.)
2. We are past the 6 months age now, and are still using these pacifiers. My baby girl loves them, and latches on them very well.
3. It played a huge part in our teething experience, as it helped to sooth the baby's sore gums.
4. If the baby latches on it for too long (overnight for example) it might leave the reddish circles around the lips, which wasn't a deal breaker for us, as my girl usually sucks on it for no more than 2 hrs in a row..
Overall, I am highly pleased with these pacifiers and already recommended them to some of my friends as a good paci journey starter.
P.S. I didn't take a star away due to the cons I mentioned because those cons are my personal preference. As I stated above I know many parents who won't consider it a problem. That's why I am sure it should not affect the overall quality of the product.

Lightweight Sustainable Pacifier
This pacifier is love at first sight for a parent -- it is lightweight, durable, has a desired nipple shape, and is sustainable.
The pacifier comes in a 2-pack, which is packaged with paper material. Without even touching the product, I was already ecstatic that I wouldn't have to fight with stubborn traditional plastic packaging.
The design is simple -- a heart shaped base to hold a nipple that is shaped like a breast. It is lightweight and not bulky at all. The only miss on the design for me is more in the overall aesthetic of the pacifier--I'd prefer something a little more delicate as it did look rather large on my daughter's face; I would still purchase this pacifier for it's overall functionality and ultimately, for its ability to soothe my daughter consistently through every use.
I appreciate NUK's authentic effort to create a sustainable product that is easily accessible across multiple retailers. To me, this is what sets this product apart. There is an abundance of eco-friendly, sustainable, and organic pacifier options -- however, many of them are made by boutique companies that may only sell online and are thus, not accessible to consumers in commonly frequented stores (i.e. grocery stores, Target, etc.). Furthermore, NUK's product lines have consistently been affordable, thereby casting a wide consumer net and making a quality product available for all families.
Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this pacifier.

Super Cute but LO disliked
My LO is very picky with her pacifiers and she unfortunately wasn’t feeling this one despite my likes about it. She is exclusively breastfeed and I don’t think she liked the orthodontic slanted nipple, she likes the rounder nipples. I enjoyed the cute design of the NUK and the open shield which allows nice airflow. Love that it is an orthodontic nipple, so it’s gentle on teeth and gums and bonus that it’s made from sustainable materials. Cons for me are It’s mentions being breast like but I don’t find that to be true and I noticed some water droplets in the nipple after I sterilized it. They did dry up but it’s concerning if moisture gets stuck inside the nipple. Picture included. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this pacifier.

Great Modern Design
My little one has unfortunately never been a pacifier user because they never stayed. But the times she would take one, she couldn't hang onto it and it would fall out. Nothing ever seemed to appease her apparently refined pacifier pallet. Not to mention, all of her pacifiers were not even cute.. I know, definitely not important as long as she takes them, BUT what if she took it AND they were super cute? Enter - Nuk's orthodontic paci. VERY sleek looking, great colors, and my baby actually could hang onto it! It has a really unique nipple shape to it making it more difficult to just fall out of my little one's mouth. I was so surprised that after two times of popping it in her mouth when she was fussing during her nap, she settled so quickly because it STAYED. I am flabbergasted because we have tried every kind of paci and this one finally stayed! If i do say so myself, they also look adorable. The pacifier is cute, functional, and the company was eco friendly focused when it came to using sustainable materials for both the product and its packaging. 10/10 will get more of these! Huge thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this pacifier!

Good
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this pacifier. Unfortunately, my baby did not like it one bit. I’ve tried many times to get him to use it but to no avail. I would’ve sent a photo to show that this product was a success, however, as aforementioned, my baby did not like it. I’m sure this is a good pacifier for another baby, but not mine. The pacifier is different in shape compared to the nipples of a bottle. The nipple has the same design all around. This pacifier is shaped for the design of the infant’s mouth. I believe that is why the baby did not like it.

Great nap and bedtime pacifier
We started using this pacifier to transition our little guy away from falling asleep while nursing. Since I went back to work it’s not always an option anymore! So far it’s worked like magic! He can nurse till he’s full then I use the pacifier till he passes out. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this pacifier!!
The low profile design doesn’t cover his entire lower face or nose. It has the added bonus of being made with sustainable materials and the packaging wasn’t plastic, but recyclable cardboard! These pacifiers are super cute, I love the muted two toned colors that go with most of his outfits!

Nuk for Nature Orthodontic Pacifiers
I was given this pacifier to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
I was already a fan of Nuk products, so I was so excited when I received this set of pacifiers!
My daughter immediately took this paci with no delays! We love that the product itself is made from 100% sustainable materials! The shape of the pacifier itself is also great. I love that it contours around her nose and doesn’t have a handle that she can pull it out by accident, especially when she’s sleeping. The colors are also so pretty and match nicely with her outfits!
My favorite feature is the orthodontic mouth piece. I’m extremely particular when it comes to what pacifiers I will give her, as I want to ensure they don’t cause any issues with her teeth or bite in the future.
I will definitely be buying these again!!

We love this pacifier
We loved getting to test this pacifier as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My son loves this pacifier so much it is now the only one he will use!
I love the design. It sits clear of his nose and is shaped to indicate which way is up. The use of 100% sustainable materials is a must for our family and we even appreciated the cute recyclable packaging. Our son absolutely loves this pacifier and finds it very soothing. It is also easy for him to hold and take in and out of his mouth by himself (he’s 7 months). Highly recommend!
