FAQs

What age range is this MAM Original Soother designed for?

This specific MAM Original Soother is designed for babies aged 16 months and older.

How do I clean and sterilize the soother?

Before first use, and then regularly, wash the soother in warm water with mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and then sterilize by boiling for 5 minutes, using a steam sterilizer, or a microwave sterilizing box if available.

Is this soother safe for my baby's developing teeth?

Yes, it features an orthodontic design specifically developed to support healthy jaw and teeth development in toddlers aged 16 months and older.

How often should I replace the soother?

For hygiene and safety, it's recommended to replace soothers every 1-2 months, or immediately if you notice any signs of damage, wear, stickiness, or discoloration during daily inspection.

What material is the soother made from?

The MAM Original Soother is made from high-quality, baby-safe materials designed for durability and daily use. For more specific material details, please refer to the product packaging.

Can I put the soother in a dishwasher?

While some dishwashers may be gentle enough, it is generally not recommended as harsh detergents or high temperatures can potentially damage the material. Hand washing and then sterilizing is the safest and most effective cleaning method.

Troubleshooting

My baby refuses the soother.

Offer the soother when your baby is calm and not overly hungry or tired. Sometimes trying at different times or positions can help. Ensure it's clean and undamaged. If refusal persists, your baby might simply not want a soother.

The soother appears worn or damaged.

Immediately discontinue use and discard the soother. Inspect soothers daily by pulling the teat in all directions to check for tears, stickiness, or damage. Replace the soother at the first sign of wear or every 1-2 months for hygiene.

The soother falls out of my baby's mouth frequently.

Ensure your baby is latching onto the soother correctly. Sometimes, babies will briefly use the soother for comfort and then release it once soothed. If it seems uncomfortable, check the soother for damage or ensure it's the correct size for their age.

I'm unsure how to sterilize the soother properly.

Before first use and periodically, sterilize by boiling in water for 5 minutes, using a steam sterilizer, or a microwave sterilizer bag/box if provided by MAM. Always follow specific product instructions for the chosen method to ensure proper sterilization.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper setup, ensuring compatibility, and diligent care are essential for your baby's safety and the longevity of the MAM Original Soother.

Initial Setup

Before the very first use, and periodically thereafter, follow these steps:

Disassemble (if applicable): Ensure all parts are separated if the design allows, though most MAM soothers are one-piece.
Wash Thoroughly: Wash the soother in warm water with a mild, baby-safe detergent. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
Sterilize: Sterilize the soother using one of the following methods:

Boiling: Place in boiling water for 5 minutes. Ensure sufficient water to prevent damage.
Steam Sterilization: Use a steam sterilizer according to its instructions.
MAM Self-Sterilizing Box (if included): Some MAM soothers come with a self-sterilizing travel box; follow its specific microwave sterilization instructions.

Cool & Dry: Allow the soother to cool completely and air dry before giving it to your baby.

Compatibility

Age: This specific MAM Original Soother is designed for babies 16 months and older. Using a soother meant for a younger age group may pose a choking hazard or be less effective for dental development, while a soother for an older group might be too large for younger infants.
Brand Compatibility: This soother is a standalone product and does not require compatibility with other specific baby items beyond standard sterilization equipment.

Care and Maintenance

Regular care ensures hygiene and safety:

Daily Cleaning: After each use, or at least daily, wash the soother with warm water and mild soap. Rinse well.
Sterilization Frequency: Sterilize daily for younger infants. For older toddlers (16+ months), daily washing and sterilizing every few days or when it has fallen on the floor may suffice, but always err on the side of caution with hygiene.
Inspection: Always inspect the soother carefully before each use, especially when your baby has teeth. Pull the teat in all directions to check for tears, stickiness, discoloration, or any signs of damage. If you notice any damage, discard the soother immediately.
Replacement: Soothers should be replaced regularly for hygiene and safety reasons, typically every 1-2 months, or sooner if any signs of wear or damage are observed. Do not modify the soother in any way.
Storage: Store soothers in a clean, dry, covered container when not in use.
