Sprout, a prominent South African e-commerce platform dedicated to enhancing family well-being, will be stocking the acclaimed Dutch-designed Difrax Pinky Pacifier as part of its infant product range.
The Difrax Pinky Pacifier has garnered international recognition by winning the esteemed Red Dot Design Award, a symbol of exceptional quality in design.
While most pacifiers serve merely to soothe babies, the Difrax Pinky Pacifier redefines the concept of a traditional soother by offering a scientifically designed solution that supports natural sucking reflexes and aids in the transition to breastfeeding or bottle feeding.
Eva, a specialist maternity nurse and consultant for Difrax in Holland, explains the importance of a proper sucking reflex in infants: “I call babies’ sucking reflex a survival kit for infants. In the first two weeks, it is essential that babies develop a good sucking reflex. If their technique is not right and they don’t use their tongue in the right way, they can’t suck and feed properly. And this pacifier is specially designed for that.”
According to Angie Herrmann, sales director for Sprout South Africa: “At Sprout, we are committed to stocking brands and products designed to support family prosperity and well-being. Difrax, our flagship brand, exemplifies this commitment with its high-quality, functional and unique products. The Pinky Pacifier, tailored for premature and small babies up to 2 months old, is a scientifically based, practical solution for parents.”
Meticulously developed in collaboration with medical experts to encourage a natural sucking reflex in newborns and premature infants, the Pinky Pacifier provides a unique solution that helps infants master the correct sucking techniques, facilitating a smoother and more effective transition to breastfeeding or bottle feeding.
The Pinky Pacifier’s design features a silicone-based, butterfly shape that allows babies to breathe freely through their nose, making it safe, taste- and allergy-free. The small size is specially designed for premature babies, and it can also be used as a regular pacifier without the little finger feature.
Available in a duo pack with two attractive colours, Aqua and Moonstone, the Pinky Pacifier offers both practicality and style.
Herrmann adds, “Not only does the Pinky Pacifier support the baby’s development but it also strengthens the bond between parent and child from birth. The Pinky Pacifier ensures that even the smallest and most vulnerable infants receive the care they need during those crucial early stages.”
