Abstract: The present invention relates to a soother, as well as a method of manufacturing a soother, including a curved shield and a mouthpiece arranged for insertion into an infant's mouth. The mouthpiece extends away from a substantially convex side of the shield along a central axis of the shield so that a first end is adjacent to the shield and a tip is distal from the first end. The shield and the mouthpiece each have an axial length and the soother is configured so that its centre of gravity is in a region which extends from the tip of the mouthpiece, along the axial length of the mouthpiece and along up to 50% of the axial length of the shield. In a second embodiment, the soother is configured so that its centre of gravity is in a region lies which extends from an innermost limit of the shield along up to 50% of the axial length of the shield.
