"Navnesutten” is the Danish forerunner of MyPacifier.com. Pia Callesen, mother of two-year-old Frederik and three-month-old baby Emma, founded Navnesutten® in April of 2004. Pia wanted to solve the problems of missing and switched pacifiers once and for all.

Parents and daycare staff know the problem; children’s pacifiers disappear or end up in another child’s mouth, spreading germs and bacteria. MyPacifier™ was developed to solve that problem. Pia says, “When I went to daycare to pick up Frederik, I often found Frederik with another child’s pacifier in his mouth. At the same time I couldn’t find Frederik’s own pacifier anywhere."

Pia goes on to say, ”I began searching for pacifiers with names on them, but I got the same answer in all the shops, ‘buy a permanent marker pen and write his name on the pacifier or stick a name tag on it.’ I decided that it should be possible for all parents to buy a quality pacifier with their child’s name, and do away with problems of missing and switched pacifiers. The fact that these pacifiers look good and are personal makes them even more appealing. ”When her website premiered in Denmark, the response was overwhelmingly favorable and personalized pacifiers started showing up in baby’s mouths all across the country. Soon after premiering in Denmark, they exported their idea to neighbor country Sweden.

We are fortunate to be Pia’s family here in the United States. When we heard about her great idea, we thought that the time was right for personalized pacifiers in the United States. We are very excited about the positive response MyPacifier Personalized Pacifiers have received. We think it’s an idea that is long overdue. Our sons, Kory and Skyler, are both college students and a bit too old for pacifiers at this point! However, we certainly remember the problems of pacifiers getting exchanged or lost, so we think there are many babies in the USA that could benefit from Pia’s wonderful idea.

Besides coming up with a creative idea, Pia and her husband Søren are strong believers in quality products. We are too, so if you order MyPacifier Personalized Pacifiers for your baby or as a gift for someone else, we are very confident that you will be as happy with them as we are. Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in MyPacifier Personalized Pacifiers!
