BIBS Colour Latex Pacifiers - Iron + Baby Blue - 2 Pack

The nipple of the BIBS Colour Pacifier is made from natural rubber latex.

For hygiene and safety reasons, it is recommended to replace natural rubber latex pacifiers every 4-6 weeks, or sooner if any signs of wear, damage, stickiness, or discoloration appear.

Before first use, sterilize by placing in boiling water for 5 minutes (do not boil directly). For daily cleaning, wash under cold running water or sterilize in boiling water as needed. Avoid harsh detergents and dishwashers.

This specific product is Size 3, which is typically for older infants or toddlers. BIBS offers pacifiers in different sizes, so please choose the appropriate size for your baby's age and developmental stage.

Yes, the round natural rubber latex nipple is specifically designed to resemble the shape and size of a mother’s nipple, promoting similar tongue placement and sucking techniques used during breastfeeding.

The shield has three vent holes to allow air to circulate. This minimizes contact with the baby's sensitive skin and prevents moisture build-up from saliva, which can lead to rashes and sore spots around the mouth.

Ensure the pacifier is introduced gently, ideally during a calm, sleepy moment rather than when baby is distressed. Some babies have strong preferences and may not accept any pacifier, or they might prefer a different nipple shape or material. Double-check that Size 3 is appropriate for your baby's age and comfort level.

While designed to prevent this, ensure the pacifier shield is consistently positioned away from the skin. Verify that the pacifier is cleaned thoroughly after each use to prevent saliva and bacteria buildup. If irritation persists or worsens, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional, as a latex allergy might be a factor.

Natural rubber latex degrades over time and with use/sterilization. This is normal. Replace the pacifier immediately if it shows any signs of stickiness, swelling, tears, cracks, or significant discoloration. It is generally recommended to replace latex pacifiers every 4-6 weeks for safety and hygiene, regardless of visible damage.

After sterilization or washing, gently squeeze the nipple part to expel any trapped water. This is common with natural rubber nipples. Ensure it's completely dry before offering it to your baby.
