Product Information

Once you've washed and cleaned your breastfeeding pumps, baby bottles, soothers, lids, teats and bottle accessories and milk and powder storage containers, transfer them into your steriliser where bacteria's killed with high-temperature steam. 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! If you're planning on giving your baby a dummy, you'll want to ensure it is sterilised both before you first give it to them and at regular intervals. Boiling: boil the soother with sufficient water in a pot for about 5 minutes. It should be completely covered by the water, and the air should be pressed out of the teat beforehand. We recommend you use a separate pot for boiling soothers. Remember to keep an eye on the water level when boiling so that the plastic does not burn on the pot!

Boil your dummies for about a minute to sterilize them. Be careful to keep the hot steam away from your skin. Do not clean in a dishwasher – the aggressive cleaning agents usually damage the material and it can become brittle. We do not have to worry about the material getting damaged by boiling or sterilizing in a microwave. Using a kettle or simply pouring boiling water over a soother will not work – the germs will not be killed off because the heat does not last long enough. Practical soother boxes: some soothers are sold in special boxes that can be used for sterilisation in the microwave. Watch this videoto see how it works.

The sterilization of mam dummies is very important because it is not just a toy, and it is a pacifier toy. Natural rubbers are considered ‘non-toxic’ and also often have an ‘all in one’ design which helps to prevent tearing. You have to do it to be safe because there’s a chance the Mam dummies could be harboring bacteria or fungi.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. Steamer/vaporiser: microwaveable sterilisation containers use heat and steam to sterilise soothers. However, there are also devices in which bottles and/or soothers can be sterilised using steam – i.e. without needing a microwave. If you have lost or can’t find your MAM dummy box, you can still sterilise the dummies without it. The recommended methods as stated by MAM include:

Therefore, they can go in the sterilizer to keep them sterilized. How long do I sterilize MAM dummies? 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. Place the dummy in boiling water for five minutes before allowing it to cool and gently squeeze out any trapped water from the soother.
