The Wee Thumbie, is designed specifically for use by very low birth weight babies less than 30 weeks gestation. Modeled after the size and shape of the preemie thumb, this pacifier facilitates the important sucking behaviors normally learned in utero. Its uniquely-shaped nipple helps to keep the pacifier in the baby’s mouth and its smaller-sized perioral guard keeps the pacifier centered and allows space for oral and nasal tubing. These pacifiers help calm and soothe distressed babies. Once the baby is breast or bottle feeding, he or she should transition to the Wee Soothie.

Recommended for hospital use only.
