   Q. What is the difference between JollyPop Newborn and Plus+?
   Plus+ nipple is made of more durable silicone to last longer when babies are beginning to teethe. Both Newborn and Plus+ have nubs on the handle. The JollyPop nipple is not designed for teething. JollyPop is for babies without teeth.

The nipple is not designed to be a teether. If your baby has teeth and continues to use JollyPop, check the pacifier for signs of wear due to chewing before each use. If there are any tears, especially in the nipple area, discard the pacifier and discontinue use or introduce a teether.
