The BIBS Colour Soother Latex Size 1 is engineered to provide both comfort and developmental benefits for infants aged 0-6 months. Its unique design, which adapts to your baby's palate, helps guide the natural development of their jaw and gums. The softness of the natural rubber latex teat offers a familiar and comforting sensation, often helping to soothe fussy babies or aid in sleep.
For Optimal Performance:
Match Age Appropriately: Always use the soother size that corresponds to your baby's current age. This Size 1 is specifically for 0-6 months. Using an incorrect size can hinder oral development or pose a safety risk.
Introduction: If introducing a soother for the first time, offer it during times of calm or before sleep. Some babies accept it immediately, while others may need a few attempts.
Comfort and Soothing: The soother can be particularly useful for comforting babies during periods of discomfort, teething (though not a teether), or when settling down for naps and bedtime.
Inspection: Before each use, inspect the soother carefully. Pull the teat in all directions to check for stickiness, tears, or any signs of damage. Discard immediately if any signs of weakness or damage are present.
Hygiene: Regular cleaning and sterilization are crucial to maintain hygiene and prevent bacterial buildup. Adhere strictly to the care instructions outlined below.
Initial Sterilization: Before first use, place the soother in a clean bowl and pour boiling water over it. Let it soak for approximately 5 minutes. Remove carefully and let it air dry completely. Do not boil directly in a pot, as this can damage the latex.
Cool Down: Allow the soother to cool down completely before offering it to your baby.
Age Range: This BIBS Colour Soother is designed for 0-6 months infants (Size 1).
Material: Made from natural rubber latex.
Daily Cleaning: For daily cleaning, sterilize by pouring boiling water over the soother for about 2 minutes. You can also use a sterilizing solution or a dedicated sterilizer, following the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
Inspection: Always inspect the soother before each use. Pull the teat firmly in all directions. If you notice any signs of damage, stickiness, or deterioration (e.g., discoloration, swelling), discard it immediately.
Replacement: For hygiene and safety reasons, it is recommended to replace soothers every 4-6 weeks, or sooner if there are any signs of wear. Natural rubber latex can degrade over time with frequent use and sterilization.
Storage: Store soothers in a clean, dry, and closed container away from direct sunlight or heat, which can degrade the latex.
