Soother safety: It is important to inspect your child’s soother before each and every use. This is not only relevant for teething babies or babies with teeth. Even before babies’ teeth emerge, their gums are very hard and can cause damage to any soother.
For this reason, you need to perform a ‘pull test’ prior to each use. To perform a ‘pull test,’ pull the soother in all directions. Carefully check for any signs of damage or weakness. If any damage or weakness is found, discard the soother immediately. Clean the soother before each use under warm running water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents. Regularly sterilise the soother. After sterilising, wait for a further 5 minutes before giving the soother to your baby. During cleaning, a small amount of water may enter the nipple. This can be easily expelled by gently squeezing with clean fingers. Never dip the soother in sweet substances or medication. This can cause tooth decay.For hygiene and safety reasons, always replace the soother after one to two months of use.
