Troubleshooting
Pacifier won't glow in the dark
Ensure the pacifier has been exposed to light for a sufficient period. The glow effect is activated by light exposure and will fade over time.
Baby is resistant to the pacifier
Ensure the pacifier is clean and properly sterilized. Try offering it during times of fussiness or sleep. If the baby continues to reject it, consult with a pediatrician or consider a different pacifier shape.
Pacifier appears damaged or worn
Inspect the silicone teat for any tears, nicks, or swelling. Discard the pacifier immediately if any signs of damage are present to prevent potential choking hazards.
Difficulty cleaning the pacifier thoroughly
Use a bottle brush or your fingers to clean the teat and shield under warm running water with mild soap. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off. Use the sterilizing carrying case for effective sterilization.
