BIBS Colour Latex Pacifier round teat 0 months+ Petrol, PP shield with 3 air holes for airflow

The BIBS Colour Latex pacifier in the Petrol shade is made of latex, a material obtained from the fluid of the rubber tree (Hevea). This fluid is refined, resulting in latex, an elastic and soft material with a texture similar to a mother's breast. The pacifier is recommended from the age of 0 months and covers the 0-6 month interval, being designed for babies who are just starting to use a pacifier.

The pacifier nipple has a round shape and is designed with a valve that allows air to escape when the baby closes their mouth, thus conforming to the natural shape of the baby's oral cavity. The nipple is made of 100% natural latex, a soft material that adapts to the child's mouth during sucking. This combination of shape and material aims to provide comfort during use.

The flexible shield around the nipple has a slightly concave shape to minimize contact points with the baby's skin. The shield is made of 100% PP and is designed with 3 holes that allow for air circulation. These holes help ventilate the area around the mouth, and the concave shape limits the surface area that touches the skin.

Good pacifier hygiene involves frequent cleaning: the younger the baby, the more important it is to protect the pacifier from bacteria. Before the first use, the pacifier must be sterilized. Latex is a natural material that can break at temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius, therefore latex pacifiers must NOT be sterilized in a microwave, steam sterilizer, UV sterilizer, or in sterilization solution. Sterilization involves three simple steps: place the pacifier in a clean bowl, pour hot water over the pacifier and leave it for 5 minutes, then remove the pacifier onto a clean napkin and let it dry. If water has entered the nipple through the valve, use the napkin to squeeze the nipple until the water is removed. The manufacturer recommends replacing pacifiers after 4-6 weeks of use.
