FAQs

How often should I sterilize the Philips AVENT Ultra Air Soother?

It is recommended to sterilize the soother daily, especially before the first use and after cleaning. This can be done by boiling, using a Philips Avent sterilizer, or cold-water sterilization.

Can I use this soother for my newborn?

This particular model is recommended for babies aged 6 to 18 months. Philips AVENT offers different soother ranges designed for younger infants.

Is the Philips AVENT Ultra Air Soother dishwasher safe?

Yes, the soothers are dishwasher proof. It is recommended to place them on the top rack of your dishwasher for cleaning.

What does 'orthodontic teat' mean?

An orthodontic teat is designed to support the natural development of your baby's palate, teeth, and gums. It has a symmetrical shape that collapses to fit naturally in your baby's mouth.

How do I clean the soother properly?

Wash the soother with warm water and mild liquid soap, then rinse thoroughly. You can also use the dishwasher or sterilize it. Ensure it's dry before giving it to your baby.

What should I do if I notice my baby's skin getting red around the soother?

The 'ultra air' design is intended to minimize this. Ensure the large ventilation holes are not blocked. Allow the skin to air out and ensure the soother is clean and dry before use. If irritation persists, consult your pediatrician.

Does the soother come with a case?

Yes, the Philips AVENT Ultra Air Soother typically comes with a hygienic carrying case that can also be used for sterilizing the soothers in a microwave.

Troubleshooting

Soother won't stay in baby's mouth.

Ensure the shield is positioned correctly and the baby is latching onto the teat properly. Check if the baby is actively sucking.

Baby seems irritated or has redness around the mouth.

Ensure you are using the 'ultra air' model with large ventilation holes. Make sure the soother is clean and dry before use. Allow skin to air dry.
