Cutie PAT Starter Kit

The Cutie PAT Starter Kit is a set of five pacifier and teether nipple styles, Smile, Flat, Slant, Round, and Bulb, meant to help parents find which shape their baby prefers without buying each style separately. Smile and Flat are rated 0M+ for use from newborn until weaning, while Slant, Round, and Bulb are rated 0-6M for newborns up to six months old, after which the maker suggests moving to a 0M+ or Stage 2 style. The Smile style was designed and patented by a board-certified pediatric dentist with an ergonomic shape intended to promote natural oral development.

Each nipple is a one-piece design molded from 100% medical-grade silicone. Every style includes a large shield and large breathing holes, and the teether handle is shaped to be easy for a baby to grip and guide into their mouth. The kit can be washed with warm water and mild soap or cleaned in the dishwasher on the top rack, and the maker recommends replacing a nipple after about four weeks of continued use.

Before each use, the maker advises a pull-test inspection of the nipple in all directions, checking for cracks, tears, or excessive wear, and discarding it immediately if damaged. The design is protected under US Patent Nos. D887,014 and D887,566.
