One thing separates a Kip’ from a Nuk: A Kip can’t separate. The N uk O rthodontic Exerciser is a fine product. But as the Nuk people the m ­ selves warn on the back of their package, you should always test it to be sure that the nipple portion doesn’t a piece separate. of a Nuk. At The First Years, safety is a virtual obsession. (Our M others’ C ouncil w o u ldn ’t have it any other way.) So when w e designed our orthodontic pacifier, we did things differently.

The Kip Orthodontic Pacifier. One-piece for safety, all-soft for comfort. To m ake Kip totally safe, w e m ade it in one piece. A nd safety is just one of its virtues. Kip’s super-soft vinyl stays soft. W ithout getting sticky the w ay latex can. Kip’s naturally shaped nipple resem bles the soft, soothing nipple of a nursing mother. Kip’s soft shield pulls inward to help keep grow ing teeth in proper alignment. sti)(an0iher The fact is, Kip offers every­ thing new mothers should look for in an orthodontic pacifier. And unlike Nuk, Kip offers it all in one piece.
