Everything you need to know about baby dummy clips: safety, personalisation, care and 2026 trends – the practical guide for discerning parents.

Dummy clips have become essential for all parents. They keep the dummy clean, stop it from falling, and even make a practical and attractive accessory for your baby. In this complete guide, we answer all the common questions about dummy clips, to help you choose the perfect model for your little one.

What is a dummy clip and what is it for?

A dummy clip is an accessory that attaches to your baby's clothes to hold their dummy. It keeps the dummy clean and within reach, while stopping it from falling on the floor. Some dummy clips are also decorative and can be personalised, making them a practical yet elegant accessory for your baby.

What types of dummy clip are there?

Dummy clips come in several materials:

• Silicone: soft, safe and easy to personalise with beads or patterns.
• Natural wood: sturdy, eco-friendly and elegant.
• Fabric or cotton: soft, light and easy to personalise.
• Baby-safe plastic: light and durable, available in several colours.

Some dummy clips are also designed to double as a teething toy, soothing your baby's gums.

Why choose a personalised dummy clip?

Personalised designs let you:

• add your baby's name.
• choose unique colours and patterns: round or hexagonal beads, 3D animals, delicate flowers.
• create an original and practical gift for a new baby or christening.

These personalised dummy clips are hugely popular with parents who want to combine practicality and style, while giving their baby a unique and memorable accessory.

How do I choose the ideal dummy clip for my baby?

To make the best choice, consider five criteria:

1. Material: silicone, wood, fabric or safe plastic.
2. Safety: a clip that meets the EN 12586 standard, with no small detachable parts.
3. Length: between 20 and 25 cm to avoid any risk of strangulation.
4. Comfort: go for a light, soft model that won't irritate your baby's skin. Silicone and fabric are among the most comfortable materials.
5. Personalisation: a name or patterns for a unique and practical accessory.

How do I care for and clean a dummy clip?

• Silicone and plastic: wash in warm water with a mild soap.
• Wood: wipe with a slightly damp cloth.
• Fabric: hand or machine wash following the manufacturer's instructions.

Dry the clip completely before using it again to avoid any harmful moisture.

Are dummy clips safe for babies?

Yes, as long as you choose baby-certified models:

• No small detachable parts.
• Non-toxic materials, made of food-grade BPA-free silicone.
• A suitable length to avoid any risk.

Models made of food-grade silicone or natural wood are particularly safe.

Can a dummy clip be used for teething?

Some food-grade silicone dummy clips can also be used as a teething toy, helping to soothe your baby's gums while keeping the dummy within reach.

How much does a personalised dummy clip cost?

The price usually ranges from €10 to €20, depending on:

• the material (silicone, wood or fabric).
• the personalisation (name engraving, colours and patterns).
• the complexity of the design.

Practical tips and everyday safety

• Only attach the clip to sturdy clothing, using a strong, well-closed clasp.
• Never attach the dummy to cords or laces.
• Remove the clip during sleep: worn while your baby is asleep, it can pose a strangulation risk. Never leave your child unsupervised with their dummy clip.
• Check the condition of the clip regularly and replace it at the first signs of wear to keep your baby safe.
• Wash the clip and dummy regularly to maintain good hygiene.
