What is the difference between a pacifier cord and a pacifier cloth?
A pacifier cord or a pacifier cloth, one thing is clear - they both refer to a pacifier. However, what is the difference between these two pacifier-related things? A pacifier cord is obvious and we have already discussed it extensively, but what about a pacifier cloth, or a pacifier cuddly toy? Instead of a cord, a cloth or a small cuddly toy is also increasingly used. The reason for this is often that a favorite cuddly toy or a comforter cloth is often created. In this way, parents often try to use 2-in-1 things as a familiar ritual before going to sleep. Little ones often like to fidget before going to sleep, so there is often a cloth or small cuddly toy that can be fiddled with. This is also ideal in combination with the use of a pacifier. And why not combine the two directly? Exactly, that is how a pacifier cloth or a pacifier cuddly toy was created. Above all, decide for yourself and your little miracle what you like best, because ultimately you know your son or daughter best♡
