Which size of pacifier should you choose?: It’s important to inform that our different sizes are only a guide for you to follow, and that they can all be used from the birth of your child.

But it’s our experience that the following sizes are the general and therefore also our common recommendation in the choice of size. Kids are born with a different size and weight, so of course if your baby is bigger or grow up faster than the average child, you maybe have to change size a bit earlier. If your baby develop and grows a bit slower than the average, you should maybe wait a little before changing.

Pacifier Sizes:
Size 1: 0-6 months
Size 2: 6-18 months
Size 3: 18+ months

Usage: Do always inspect the product carefully before each use. Especially when the baby has teeth. Pull the pacifier in all directions. Discard it at the first sign of damage or weakness. Only use dedicated pacifier holders tested to relevant safety standards.  The pacifier must not be stored in direct sunlight.

Replacement: We recommend a replacement every 4-6 weeks for both safety and hygenic reasons. Natural rubber latex is a natural material and is affected by sunlight, high temperatures, and moisture which accelerates the aging process of the latex material. Therefore, the material changes its properties and can become brittle or sticky. Whenever you experience a change in the material, the pacifier must be replaced.

Keep an eye out for any changes in the surface, changes in size and shape, or rupture in the material and replace the pacifier if you notice any differences. When your baby has teeth, make sure to pull the nipple in all directions before use and replace the pacifier at the first sign of damage or weakness.

How to sterilise the pacifiers: When cleaning the pacifier, just follow these three simple steps:

1) Put the pacifiers in a clean bowl. Pour them with boiling water.

2) Let the pacifiers soak for approx. 5 min.

3) Pick them up and let them dry on a clean towel.

The vast majority of pacifiers are with valve. If the nipple has a valve, be sure to squeeze excess water out of the seat part when the nipple is sufficiently cooled.

TIP: When the child is over 3 months old, you can also rinse the pacifier by placing them in a sieve and pouring them with boiling water. This method is partly faster and partly avoids water collecting inside the seat part.

Caution! We often receive inquiries from parents who have followed the National Board of Health’s recommendation to cook the pacifier for 5 minutes before first use and daily afterwards. The result is broken pacifiers.

Do not cook!
They are not meant to be boiled and are therefore destroyed by the high heat. Instead, follow the instructions above, and you are sure to kill the bacteria without compromising the durability of the pacifier.

How often should I clean them?: Part of a good pacifier hygiene is frequent cleaning of the pacifiers. The younger the child, the more important it is to protect it from bacteria and to maintain good pacifier hygiene. This is due, among other things, to the fact that the child’s immune system has not yet managed to get acquainted with quite a number of different bacteria, and therefore also will not have learned to “defend” against them yet.

Premature infants and babies up to 3 months need more thorough and frequent cleaning than babies over 3 months of age. Therefore, the pacifier must be cleaned more often when the child is under 3 months.

0-3 months: The pacifier must be scaled every time it has been on the floor. In addition, the pacifier must be scalded at least once a day.

3+ months: Rinse the pacifier once a day and rinse it under the cold tap if it has been on the floor.

Explain BPA free: 100% free from BPA, PVC and phthalates.

Don’t’s!:
Do not leave latex pacifiers in direct sunlight.
Do not put in the dishwasher.
Do not use UV or steam sterilisers for the pacifiers, scald as advised.
Do not freeze the pacifiers.
