Simply expose the pacifier to a light source for 5-10 seconds to activate its glow. Available with three nipple shapes: round, symmetrical, and anatomical. The nipples are made from natural rubber latex, and the shield is made of food-grade PP. All BIBS pacifiers are 100% free of BPA and phthalates, designed and produced in Denmark/EU. The round natural rubber latex nipple is shaped to mimic the mother's nipple, promoting similar tongue placement and sucking techniques during breastfeeding. The lightweight, round shield is designed to rest away from the baby's delicate skin around the mouth, minimizing contact and reducing the chance of moisture buildup from saliva that can lead to rashes or sore spots. Complies with European Standard EN 1400+A2. To clean, place pacifiers in a clean bowl, pour boiling water over them, let soak for approximately 5 minutes, then remove and allow to dry on a clean towel. Replace pacifiers every 4-6 weeks for safety and hygiene. Inspect the nipple regularly for any changes in surface, size, shape, or material damage, and replace immediately if any issues are noticed. Pull the nipple in all directions and inspect carefully before each use.

FAQs
How do I activate the glow-in-the-dark feature?
Hold the pacifier under a light source (e.g., a lamp, window light) for at least 5 seconds before bedtime. The longer the exposure, the brighter and longer it will glow.
How long does the glow last?
After activation, the glow will last for 8+ hours, making it easy to find throughout the night.
What material is the nipple made from?
The nipple is made from 100% natural rubber latex, a soft and flexible material.
Is this pacifier suitable for newborns?
No, this specific BIBS Colour GLOW pacifier is Size 2, designed for babies aged 6 months and older. BIBS offers other sizes for newborns and younger infants.
How often should I replace the pacifier?
For hygiene and safety reasons, it is recommended to replace pacifiers every 4-6 weeks, or immediately if you notice any signs of wear, damage, or degradation of the latex.
Does this pacifier support breastfeeding?
Yes, the round natural rubber latex nipple is designed to resemble the shape and size of a mother's nipple, promoting a similar tongue placement and sucking technique as breastfeeding.
Is the pacifier safe for my baby?

Troubleshooting
Glow feature is not working or is very dim.
Ensure the pacifier has been exposed to a light source (natural or artificial) for at least 5 seconds. For a brighter and longer-lasting glow, expose it to light for a longer duration before bedtime. Make sure the pacifier isn't covered during the day, preventing light exposure.
Baby is refusing the pacifier.
Ensure the pacifier is the correct size for your baby's age (this is Size 2 for 6+ months). Sometimes babies have preferences for different nipple shapes or materials. While this pacifier mimics a mother's nipple, some babies may prefer an orthodontic or symmetrical design. Allow your baby to explore it at their own pace, or try offering it during a calm, sleepy state.
Redness or rash appearing around baby's mouth.
Thoroughly clean the pacifier after each use to prevent bacterial growth. Ensure the pacifier is completely dry before giving it to your baby. The BIBS Colour GLOW pacifier's shield is designed to minimize skin contact, but excessive drooling or infrequent cleaning can still lead to irritation. Consult a pediatrician if the rash persists.
Pacifier nipple appears sticky or discolored.
Natural rubber latex can degrade over time with frequent use, sterilization, and exposure to light/heat. This stickiness or discoloration is a sign of degradation. Discard the pacifier immediately and replace it with a new one to ensure safety and hygiene. Pacifiers should be replaced every 4-6 weeks regardless of appearance.
