BIBS Colour Latex Pacifier round teat Baby Blue 6 months+ made of 100% natural latex

The BIBS Colour Latex pacifier in the Baby Blue shade is made of latex, a material obtained from the fluid of the rubber tree (hevea). This fluid is refined, resulting in an elastic and soft material, similar in texture to a mother's breast. It is recommended for babies from 6 months old, with the size indicated for the 6-18 month range.

The pacifier nipple has a round shape and is designed with a valve that allows air to escape when the baby closes their mouth, taking on the natural shape of the baby's oral cavity. The nipple is made of 100% natural latex, a soft material that provides 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. This construction helps the baby's delicate skin breathe in the area around the mouth.

Good pacifier hygiene requires 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. Because latex is a natural material that can break at temperatures above 100°C, latex pacifiers MUST NOT be sterilized in the microwave, steam sterilizer, UV sterilizer, or in sterilization solution. Sterilization involves 3 steps: place the pacifier in a clean bowl, pour hot water over it and leave it for 5 minutes, then remove it onto a clean napkin and let it air dry. If water has penetrated inside the nipple through the valve, press the nipple with the napkin until the water is removed. Pacifiers should be replaced after 4-6 weeks of use.
