Full details
The Philips Avent Ultra Soft Soothers (SCF093/01) are designed for babies 18 months and older who need comfort and support for natural oral development. Their key benefit is the ultra-soft, flexible shield that minimizes skin irritation and marks, while the orthodontic teat promotes healthy gum and tooth development. A potential consideration is ensuring the 18+ month sizing is appropriate for your child's current stage. This pack includes two BPA-free silicone soothers.

Can I use these soothers for younger babies?
These soothers are specifically sized and designed for babies 18 months and older. Using them on younger infants may not be appropriate for their developmental stage.
How can I tell if the soother needs replacing?
Inspect the soother regularly. Discard it if you see any signs of damage, such as tears, swelling, or discoloration on the teat or shield.
Troubleshooting
Soother appears dirty after cleaning.
Ensure you are using mild soap and rinsing thoroughly. Check if any water is trapped inside; squeeze the teat to release it. For deeper cleaning, consider steam sterilization.
Baby seems resistant to using the soother.
Babies have individual preferences. Ensure the soother is clean and properly sterilized. Try offering it during a quiet, relaxed moment. If resistance continues, the design or teat shape may not suit your baby.
Skin irritation around the mouth.
Although designed to minimize irritation, check that the shield is not held too tightly against the skin. Ensure the area is kept clean and dry. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
