Choosing the right BIBS pacifier sizes for your baby is an important part of keeping them soothed, safe and comfortable. At Pi Baby, we love BIBS for their timeless Scandinavian design, gentle materials and thoughtful craftsmanship.
But with multiple pacifier sizes available, it can feel a little overwhelming to know which one is the perfect fit. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the pacifier size chart, explain the differences between the sizes of pacifiers and help you choose the best option for your little one’s age and developmental stage.
BIBS Pacifier Sizes Explained
BIBS pacifiers come in three main stages. Each BIBS pacifier size is carefully designed to sit comfortably in your baby’s mouth and support natural sucking patterns. Whether you prefer classic BIBS binkies or want to try a whole BIBS pacifier set, the sizing remains consistent.
- Size 1 (Newborn to 6 Months)
BIBS pacifier size 1 is the smallest option and is beautifully suited for newborns through about 6 months. Babies at this age have tiny, delicate mouths and a well-fitting pacifier helps them self-soothe without irritation. Many parents love starting with size 1 because it’s lightweight and gentle, making it ideal for tiny faces.
- Size 2 (6 Months to 18 Months)
As your baby grows and begins exploring the world (and their teething phase), size 2 offers a more substantial fit. This size is designed to stay in place more easily and works well for most babies from 6 to 18 months. Many families continue using size 2 well past the recommended range because it often becomes the "just right" size for their little one.
- Size 3 (18 Months and Up)
For toddlers who still love the comfort of a pacifier, the BIBS size 3 pacifier provides a secure, soothing option. It’s designed for children 18 months and older who need a pacifier that matches their larger mouth shape. This size supports kids through transitions like language development, comfort routines or big-emotion moments.
Pacifier Shapes Available at BIBS
Beyond just sizes, BIBS offers three nipple shapes, each supporting different sucking styles:
- Round (Classic): The most iconic BIBS shape, loved for supporting breastfeeding.
- Symmetrical: A flat-drop shape that reduces pressure on teeth and gums.
- Anatomical: Curved on top and flat underneath to support oral development.
The size system applies across all shapes, so you can choose the material and nipple style your baby prefers. All BIBS pacifiers additionally feature:
- A lightweight shield with large air holes, ensuring proper airflow to reduce skin irritation.
- 100% BPA-free, PVC-free and phthalate-free materials.
- EN 1400-approved safety, meaning they meet strict European safety standards.
- A cherry-shaped outward curve, designed so only the nipple touches the baby’s mouth, helping prevent saliva buildup.
How to Choose the Right Size for Your Baby
While age is the easiest reference point, every baby is different. Your little one’s mouth shape, sucking strength and teething stage can influence which size feels best. When comparing BIBS pacifier sizing, keep these guidelines in mind:
- A pacifier that is too small may slip out easily.
- A pacifier that is too large can feel bulky or uncomfortable.
- Teething babies often prefer the fuller feel of size 2.
- Some babies naturally favor one shape regardless of age. Always observe your little one’s comfort.
Tips for Using BIBS Pacifiers
Here are some quick tips to make using BIBS pacifiers easier for both you and your baby:
- Clean regularly: Keep the pacifier clean to avoid the buildup of bacteria. Wash it before the first use and after every use.
- Monitor wear and tear: Over time, pacifiers can wear out. If you notice any cracks or damage, it’s time to replace it.
- Choose the right material: BIBS pacifiers are made from natural rubber, which is soft and safe for your baby. Always choose pacifiers made from non-toxic, baby-safe materials.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
Do BIBS pacifiers have sizes?
Yes, BIBS pacifiers come in multiple sizes to support different stages of your baby’s development. Their classic collection includes size 1, size 2 and size 3, allowing you to choose the fit that’s most comfortable and natural for your little one.
What is the difference between size 1 and 2 BIBS?
- Size 1 is designed for newborns and young babies with smaller mouths. It’s lightweight, petite and gentle.
- Size 2 is slightly larger and offers a fuller shape that many babies enjoy once they begin teething or developing stronger sucking reflexes.
Both sizes have the same soothing shape. Size 2 simply gives a bit more substance for growing babies.
Do BIBS pacifiers get bigger?
Yes. As the sizes increase (1 → 2 → 3), the nipple shape remains familiar, but the nipple and shield become slightly larger to match your baby’s natural oral development. This makes moving up a size feel intuitive and comfortable for most little ones.
How do you tell what size your BIBS pacifier is?
BIBS prints the size number directly on the original packaging. You might also find a small “1,” “2” or “3” embossed on the front or back of the pacifier. If the number has worn off, you can compare the pacifier to your other BIBS pieces or use the BIBS pacifier size chart for quick reference.
