Before first use place the soother in boiling water for 5 minutes. Allow to cool and squeeze out any trapped water from the pacifier. This is to ensure hygiene. Clean before each use thoroughly with running warm water. For babies up to 3 months disinfect the pacifier regularly (boiling or similar). Make sure that there is always enough water in the pot to avoid material damage. Do not clean in dishwasher or disinfect in pressure cooker – detergents or heating in patches will cause material damage. Never dip teat in sweet substances or medication, your child may get tooth decay and/or material damage may occur. Replace the pacifier after 1 and 2 months of use for hygienic and safety reasons. Longer use of soother may cause tooth and/ or jaw damage. Cracks, traces of bites, stickiness or changes of shape may cause separation and swallowing of parts of the teat – choking hazard! In the event that the pacifier becomes lodged in the mouth of your child, DO NOT PANIC, it cannot be swallowed and is designed to cope with such an event. Remove from mouth with care as gently as possible. Do not leave the pacifier in direct sunlight or near a source of heat or leave in disinfectant (“sterilizing solution”) for longer than recommended, as this may weaken the teat.
