Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Upon first use, and before each subsequent use, the soother must be cleaned and sterilized. This is crucial for your baby's health.
- Wash: Thoroughly wash the soother in warm, soapy water. Ensure all milk or food residue is removed.
- Rinse: Rinse thoroughly under cold running water.
- 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 Sterilizer: Use a domestic steam sterilizer following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Cold Water Sterilization: Use a cold water sterilizing solution according to manufacturer guidelines.
Compatibility
These soothers are specifically designed and sized for babies aged 6 to 18 months. Using an age-appropriate soother is important for safety and comfort. They are compatible with standard sterilization methods.
Care
- Regular Cleaning: Clean and sterilize the soother before each use to maintain hygiene.
- Inspection: Always inspect the soother before each use, especially when your baby has teeth. Pull the soother in all directions. Discard at the first signs of damage or weakness, such as stickiness, enlargement, or tears.
- Storage: Store soothers in a dry, covered container when not in use. Keep them away from direct sunlight or heat, as this can weaken the silicone teat.
- Replacement: It is recommended to replace soothers every 1-2 months for hygiene and safety reasons, or sooner if showing signs of wear and tear. Do not tie soothers around a baby's neck, as this presents a strangulation hazard.
