it has holes in the shield but not in the teat, hard to explain. Have a look at the images the whole soother is natural rubber including the shield, they are very popular in europe.
I used happy baby after he was introduced to him in the special care nursery.....after tryin a heap of diff ones at home I finally found one that is almost identical to the happy baby ones but seems much better quality....they are the mothercare brand cherry shaped natural latex newborn soothers...harder to get because mothercare only have the two stores in Melbourne so far but a great alternative....he also hates the tommee tippee ones.
the soother I am talking about will be available again at ecochild it is currently out of stock till August, also natureschild, perhaps another retailer may have some online, there are quite a few selling these soothers now not only because of the health benefits no toxins at all, but the soother is made out of one piece of rubber, there are no seams or cracks or pieces that can come off or contain little nasties.
