Is this pacifier safe for newborns?
Yes, the Smiffys Little Vampire Dummy is suitable for all ages and complies with safety requirements for pacifiers, including BSEN1400 standards.
How often should I clean the dummy?
It should be washed with warm, soapy water after each use. Before the first use, it's recommended to sterilize it by boiling for 5 minutes.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
It is recommended to hand wash the dummy with warm, soapy water. Dishwasher cleaning might affect the material or integrity of the teat over time.
What is the teat made of?
The teat is made of silicone and is designed to be orthodontic.
How can I tell if the dummy is damaged?
Inspect the teat regularly for any signs of tears, thinning, swelling, or any other damage. If damage is found, discard the dummy immediately.
Is this meant for everyday use or just costumes?
While it complies with safety standards for pacifiers and is suitable for all ages, its design makes it particularly ideal as a Halloween or costume accessory. It can be used for comfort as needed.
What does it mean that it complies with 16CFR1511 BSEN1400 requirements?
These are safety standards for pacifiers, ensuring the product has undergone rigorous testing for safety features such as teat strength, ventilation holes, and absence of small parts.
Troubleshooting
Pacifier appears dirty or sticky
Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water and rinse completely. Ensure it is fully air-dried before next use.
Teat seems to have a slight discoloration
This can be normal with silicone over time. Continue to wash as recommended. If the teat shows signs of damage, discontinue use.
Baby is hesitant to use the pacifier
Ensure the pacifier is clean and has no unusual odors. Try offering it during a time of fussiness or when the baby is naturally seeking comfort.
