FAQs
What age is this pacifier suitable for?
This Philips Avent Ultra Air pacifier (SCF087/18) is suitable for babies aged 6 to 18 months.
How do I sterilize the pacifiers?
You can sterilize them using the included carrying case by adding 25ml of water and microwaving for 3 minutes. Alternatively, boil them in water for 5 minutes.
Is the silicone teat safe for my baby?
Yes, the teat is made from 100% BPA-free silicone, which is a safe, hygienic, and durable material for babies.
How often should I replace the pacifier?
It's recommended to inspect the pacifier for wear and tear before each use. Replace the pacifier if you notice any signs of damage, such as tears or swelling, or if it becomes sticky. Generally, pacifiers should be replaced every 4-6 weeks with regular use.
What does '80% plant-based' mean?
This indicates that 80% of the material used in the pacifier is derived from responsibly sourced, plant-based ingredients, making it a more sustainable choice.
Can the glow-in-the-dark ring be removed?
No, the glow-in-the-dark safety ring is an integrated part of the pacifier and cannot be removed.
What is the teat shape?
The pacifier features an orthodontic silicone teat, designed to support the natural development of your baby's palate, teeth, and gums.
Troubleshooting
Pacifier won't glow in the dark.
Expose the glow-in-the-dark ring to a light source (natural or artificial) for a few minutes. The glow effect is temporary and requires light to 'charge'.
Baby is not accepting the pacifier.
Ensure the pacifier is clean and properly sterilized. Try offering it at a time when the baby is calm and receptive. The orthodontic silicone teat is designed for high acceptance, but some babies may have a personal preference.
Pacifier appears dirty or has residue.
Wash thoroughly with warm water and mild soap, then rinse well. If residue persists, ensure you are using a mild, baby-safe soap and that all soap is rinsed away. Sterilize after cleaning.
Pacifier is damaged or worn.
Inspect the pacifier regularly, especially the teat, for any tears, swelling, or signs of wear. Discard and replace the pacifier immediately if any damage is observed for safety reasons.
