NUK Star Day & Night 6–18 Months baby dummy 🍼
Description:
This set of baby dummies soothes most infants and is made to be comfortable during day and night use, combining soft silicone with a glow-in-the-dark feature for easy retrieval at night. The pack of four crocodile-pattern dummies is suitable for babies aged 6 to 18 months and aims to help calm little ones when they need comfort or a nap.
Key Points
The nipple has an extra-soft zone at the top that nestles gently against the palate, helping to reproduce a familiar feel. According to the manufacturer, the Star range soothes 99% of babies and 96% of mothers find this soother breastfeeding friendly, making transitions between breast and dummy simpler. The glow-in-the-dark finish makes the soothers easier to spot at night or during naps, which reduces fumbling and keeps light levels low for restful sleep. 🌙
Materials are kept straightforward to limit exposure to unnecessary chemicals. The soothers are made from BPA-free silicone, offering a smooth, soft texture that is easy to clean and more resistant to tearing than some latex alternatives. The pack includes a reusable carry case that can be used in the microwave for quick sterilisation, adding practical convenience for families on the move. 🧼
A small limitation to bear in mind is that the glow effect will vary with exposure to light. Also, while many parents report good compatibility with breastfeeding, individual results may differ according to feeding technique and baby preference.

Usage Recommendations
For best results, expose the soother to a light source for a few minutes before bedtime to charge the glow pigment. Clean the dummy and case according to the instructions, using the microwave-safe case for rapid sterilisation when necessary. Check the soother regularly for wear and replace it if any damage appears, to maintain safety and hygiene. 😊
Positive Aspects
The combination of the original NUK shape, which is round on the top and flat underneath, permits natural sucking movements while leaving space for the palate. The extra-soft zone provides a gentler contact with the palate, which many parents report their babies accept readily. The reusable microwaveable case is a practical touch for families who travel or need quick, heat-based sterilising between outings.
