Pacifier Avent Philips AVENT SCF087/02 Ultra Air — Classic orthodontic silicone soother 0–6 months

Philips AVENT Ultra Air pacifier SCF087/02 is a classic orthodontic silicone soother for infants 0–6 months. The contoured silicone teat supports natural oral development while the ventilated shield with extra-large airholes improves airflow and helps keep delicate skin drier during use. The design is intended for everyday soothing and sleep, and the product is made largely from plant-based materials.

Advantages

The Ultra Air model combines a soft orthodontic silicone teat with a ventilated shield to promote natural tongue movement and better air circulation around the mouth. Extra-large airholes reduce skin contact with moisture, and the product includes a sterilising carrying case for hygienic storage. A high acceptance rate has been reported among infants.

Suitable for

• Infants aged 0–6 months
• Parents seeking a pacifier that supports natural oral development
• Use at sleep times and for general soothing
• Situations where skin breathability and reduced moisture contact are desired

When it may not be suitable

This pacifier is designed specifically for newborns and young infants up to 6 months; it may not fit older babies who require larger sizes. Caregivers who need a latex teat or a non-orthodontic shape should look for alternative models. As with any pacifier, regular inspection for wear is necessary and it should be replaced if damaged.
