Interesting research about the impact of using a pacifier in the first 4 years of life.

Did you know that the intensity of pacifier use during a child’s first 4 years moderates breastfeeding’s preventative effects on malocclusion? In this 2026 longitudinal study of >3500 children, those not exclusively breastfed were most likely to develop malocclusion, followed by those exclusively breastfed who used a pacifier.

Don't let a drop of your extra expressed breastmilk go to waste - it is far too precious!

If your own baby does not need it, your expressed breastmilk could be a lifeline for a tiny premature baby fighting for survival.

Donors are screened, freeze their milk at home and then donate it. The milk is pasteurised and micro tested before it can be sent out to premature babies in NICUS across Cape Town and beyond.

Contact us if you are a healthy non-smoker with extra breastmilk and would like to save babies lives:
