The MAM Start Soother is designed specifically for newborns aged 0-2 months, offering a comforting and familiar experience for your baby. Its key win is the high acceptance rate of its SkinSoft Silicone teat, which mimics the feel of a mother's skin, promoting natural soothing. A potential caveat is its narrow age range, meaning you'll need to transition to a larger soother as your baby grows.

Introducing the MAM Start Soother early can help establish a soothing routine for your newborn. The unique SkinSoft Silicone teat performs exceptionally well in providing a familiar sensation, often leading to quick acceptance by infants. Its symmetrical shape ensures that no matter how the baby positions it, the dental-friendly design continues to support healthy oral development, which is crucial in these early months.
Parents will appreciate the self-sterilising travel case, transforming a chore into a simple, microwave-based task. This feature is particularly useful for busy parents or when traveling, ensuring the soothers are always clean and ready. The soother's light weight and the prominent button make it easy for small hands to eventually grasp and manipulate, and securely attach to a soother clip. The curved shield and generous air holes effectively minimize moisture build-up, reducing the risk of rashes or irritation around your baby's mouth, even with prolonged use.
Before First Use: Sterilise the soothers thoroughly. Use the self-sterilising travel case as directed below or boil in water for five minutes.
Inspect: Always inspect the soother carefully before each use, especially when the baby has teeth. Pull the soother in all directions to check for damage.
Age: This soother is specifically designed for babies aged 0-2 months.
Soother Straps: The soother button is compatible with most standard soother straps for secure attachment.
Daily Cleaning: Wash thoroughly in warm water with mild baby-safe detergent before each use. Rinse well.
Self-Sterilising Case:
Place soothers in the case with the teat pointing downwards.
Fill the case with water up to the marked line (25ml).
Close the case and heat in a microwave for 3 minutes at 750-1000 watts.
Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before opening. Drain any remaining water.
Storage: Store soothers in a dry, covered container. Do not leave in direct sunlight or heat, or leave in disinfectant for longer than recommended, as this may weaken the teat.
Replacement: Replace soothers every 1-2 months for hygiene and safety reasons, or immediately at the first sign of wear, damage, or stickiness. Do not dip the teat in sweet substances (e.g., honey or jam) as this can lead to tooth decay and is unhygienic.
