Health authorities and pediatric associations generally recommend limiting prolonged soother use as children grow.
Some guidance suggests beginning the transition around 12–18 months.
Other professionals note that many families choose to wean closer to age 2–3.
Every child is different. The key is choosing a gentle and sensible approach, one that supports this milestone without unnecessary stress.
For many families, the soother plays an important role in the early years — offering comfort and reassurance.
Weaning is not about removing something “bad,” but about supporting the next stage of development in a calm and thoughtful way.
Clipp was designed to help families move away from the soother gradually, without sudden removal or emotional shock.
Instead of taking it away all at once, Clipp gently reduces suction step by step, helping your child adapt naturally over time.
It works alongside your family’s routine and even alongside a ritual like the Soother Fairy making the transition feel reassuring rather than abrupt.

Your child begins with Clipp just like their usual soother. There is no sudden change in comfort or daily routine.

Small, steady adjustments
A clear progression families can support
