Before first use:
Before using your Natural Rubber Soother, please sterilise by immersing in boiling water for 5 minutes, then remove from the water & allow to cool. This will remove the oily film that naturally occurs on the rubber. Never allow to cool in the water.
Daily care:
Simply wash in warm water with mild liquid soap. If extra sterilisation is required, place the dummy in a strainer and pour boiling water over the top. Do not sterilise in a bottle steriliser, wash in a dishwasher or leave in boiling water after the first clean.
You should always inspect the dummy carefully before each use, especially when your child has teeth. Throw it away at the first sign of damage. Being Natural Rubber, your product will eventually turn brown and feel sticky to touch - this is when it should be replaced.
A cord or ribbon attached to a dummy poses a strangulation hazard, especially when attached to your child's clothes so best to use the dummy on its own if unsupervised.
How often should I replace my soother?
Natural Rubber Soothers should be replaced every 8-12 weeks (depending on frequency of use) with the age-appropriate size. Provided you carefully inspect the dummy before each use (especially when your child has teeth) there is no harm in using it for a longer period of time, however youâll notice the rubber get darker and possibly sticky, which a sign itâs time to replace the dummy.
