Dummy clips, also known as pacifier clips, are generally considered safe for newborns when used properly. However, it is important to follow safety guidelines to ensure that they do not pose a risk to the baby. Here are some guidelines for using dummy clips with newborns:

  1. Use a clip that is specifically designed for pacifiers/dummies.
  2. Choose a clip that is made of a safe material, such as food-grade silicone or BPA-free plastic.
  3. Always clip the dummy clip securely to the baby’s clothing, ensuring that it is not too close to the baby’s face and does not pose a choking hazard.
  4. Always supervise your baby when using a pacifier clip, and remove the pacifier and clip when the baby is sleeping.
  5. Inspect the pacifier clip regularly for any signs of damage, such as frayed or loose threads, and replace it if necessary.

It is also worth noting that some newborns may not take to pacifiers or dummies, and that is perfectly normal. If your newborn does not seem interested in a pacifier, do not force them to use one.
