FAQs

What age is this MAM Original Soother designed for?

This specific MAM Original Soother is designed for babies aged 16 months and older. It's sized and shaped to be appropriate for their stage of oral development.

How do I clean and sterilize the soother?

Before first use and periodically, clean the soother thoroughly in warm, soapy water. Then, sterilize it by boiling in water for 5 minutes, or using a steam/microwave sterilizer following its instructions. Always ensure enough water when boiling.

What does 'Silk' material refer to for a soother?

In the context of MAM soothers, 'Silk' refers to the unique, soft, and skin-like texture of the silicone teat. MAM often describes this as SkinSoft™ Silicone, designed to feel familiar and comforting to babies, leading to high acceptance rates. It is not made of fabric silk.

How often should I replace the soother?

For hygiene and safety reasons, it is generally recommended to replace soothers every 1-2 months, or immediately if you notice any signs of wear, damage, or stickiness to the teat.

Can I use this soother for a baby younger than 16 months?

No, it is not recommended. This soother is specifically designed for babies 16 months and older. Using an inappropriately sized soother for younger infants can be uncomfortable or unsafe, potentially affecting oral development.

Is this soother BPA and BPS free?

Info needed: [While MAM typically prides itself on BPA/BPS-free products, always check the product packaging for explicit confirmation if this information is critical to your purchase decision.]

Why does it come in a 2-pack?

The 2-pack offers convenience, ensuring you always have a spare soother on hand. This is particularly useful for hygiene, allowing you to sterilize one while the other is in use, or providing a backup if one gets lost or dirty.

Troubleshooting

Baby refuses the soother

Ensure the soother is clean and free of any odors. This specific soother is for 16+ months; if your baby is younger, they might need a different size. Sometimes, babies have strong preferences for specific shapes or materials. Try offering it during a calm moment or when they are tired.

Soother shows signs of wear (e.g., sticky, torn teat)

Immediately discard the soother. Any damage, no matter how small, can compromise safety. Always inspect the soother before each use by pulling the teat in all directions. Replace soothers regularly, typically every 1-2 months.

Difficulty cleaning the soother

Ensure you are using warm water and a mild detergent, scrubbing gently with a soft brush, especially around the shield and air holes. For sterilization, follow recommended methods like boiling for 5 minutes or using a steam sterilizer. Avoid leaving soothers in direct sunlight or heat, as this can damage the material and make cleaning harder.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Preparation

Before first use, and periodically thereafter, it's crucial to clean and sterilize your MAM Original Soothers.

Clean: Wash the soothers thoroughly in warm water with a mild detergent. Use a soft brush or sponge to ensure all areas are clean.
Sterilize: Place the soothers in boiling water for 5 minutes. Alternatively, use a steam sterilizer, microwave sterilizer, or cold water sterilizing solution according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure sufficient water during boiling to prevent damage.

Compatibility

Age: This soother is specifically designed and sized for babies aged 16 months and older. Using it for younger infants is not recommended.
Other MAM Products: The soothers are compatible with standard soother clips and cases.

Care and Maintenance

Daily Cleaning: Clean the soother thoroughly after each use. Regular cleaning helps prevent the buildup of bacteria.
Inspect Regularly: Before each use, carefully inspect the soother, especially the teat, by pulling it in all directions. Discard the soother at the first sign of damage, weakness, or stickiness. Tears or holes can pose a choking hazard.
Storage: When not in use, store soothers in a dry, covered container to protect them from dust and dirt.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or anti-bacterial cleaners directly on the soother, as these can damage the material.
Replace Often: For hygiene and safety reasons, it is recommended to replace soothers every 1-2 months, or sooner if showing signs of wear and tear. Info needed: [check MAM's specific replacement recommendations]
