MAM Style 0+ Months (Pack of 2), Baby Soothers with Self Sterilising Travel Case, Newborn Essentials, Blue (Designs May Vary)

Product Information

Mam dummies or pacifiers can be sterilized like other dummies. Being a silicone-made dummy, it will not have any issue with boiling water sterilization or microwave sterilization process. MAM's range of dummies offers both latex and silicone, which both have substantial benefits as soother materials. Silicone does not age, has no taste and is slightly harder than latex. Latex is the more bite resistant of the two, with silicone, which although bite-resistant must be thrown away as soon as the first bite marks appear. If you think your baby may need a soother material that is more bite-resistant then maybe latex would be the better choice for you! Latex is also a naturally grown product, giving it pure and natural qualities which many parents value. There can be several types of sterilization possible for Mam dummies, like boiling water sterilization and sterilization in the microwave. Why do you need to sterilize Mam Dummies?

Boil your dummies for about a minute to sterilize them. Be careful to keep the hot steam away from your skin. For the first year, your baby's digestive system is super sensitive, and to avoid any tummy upsets you'll need to sterilise your baby feeding equipment using a microwave or electric steam steriliser.

These MAM night soothers also come with a travel case that doubles up as a steriliser box. This can be sterilised for three minutes in the microwave, making it easy to clean your baby's dummy at home and on the go. As dummies are used in your baby’s mouth it’s very important to keep them as clean as possible. But this isn't always easy as babies tend to spit them out! The MAM 0+/ 2-6+ Soothers are ideal up to the age of 6 months as they offer a smaller teat and shield for younger babies. The MAM 6+ Soothers are suitable from 6 months of age until one year as they provide a larger teat and shield than the 0+/ 2-6+ range but a smaller teat than MAM's 12+/ 16+ soother range. The MAM 12+/ 16+ Soothers being the largest of the MAM teats are ideal for older babies to use from 1 year of age until soother use stops. Avoid dummies made from latex if your child has a latex allergy or you have a latex allergy in the family.

It is more durable than natural rubbers and latexes and is also more resistant to bacteria than the natural materials. It involves exposure to high temperatures, chemicals, or radiation, with the intent of destroying all microorganisms on a surface or in an object so that they may be safely used for a purpose without risk of infection.
